Peter as soon as I get the proper people to talk to about these issues I will post it. Until that time, I am working very hard on this issue.

I am just getting an e-mail to work with, so I might take me a day or so to get the correct person to speak to about this.

  Hello Barry  and everyone,

      So they'll wake up my designated reader in the middle of the night if I 
  wish to have something read while sighted passengers can have access to 
  documentation any time anywhere? They obviously need a lesson on equal 
  access for the disabled particularly the blind.

  Hello:
    If this is true it is very sad.  My wife and I were told that Braille
  printers were on each ship of the fleet.  Much of the time they are not used
  but as for being broken my guess is that the persons who do the printing
  have not read the instructions or have not loaded the proper drivers into
  the computer.  We just came back from a cruise in mid February and we had
  Braille compass (the ships newspaper).  I do not like the idea of having
  someone read the compass to you very much but may have to live with it.
  When my wife and I travel with another group on Carnival ships the travel
  agent gets a crew member, usually one of the cruise director staff, to
  record the event schedule each day and it is replayed on a TV channel.  This
  would be a great solution and even others who are not blind may appreciate
  it also.

  We may have to make a call to RCCL to investigate.  We are Emerald level on
  the Crown and anchor society and could switch easily to Carnival/Princess if
  a sufficient answer is not provided.

  You say the Braille printers have been broken every time you try to get an
  agenda Brailed.  Who has been Brailing the material for them?

  well I am still investigating the whole thing.  I don't like the answers I
  am getting, and a few times that I had sent clients that needed Braille the
  printers were broken.
