[Travelandtourism] Eliminating braille to your clients.

[cheryl echevarria]

NCL never had it, but I am working closely with that department directly.

Also, I have arranged with the Access Department of Norwegian to hold ship inspections up here in NY to do ship tours, lunch, and meeting with the Access Department.

I am looking to do this in September, they will allow a maximum of 20 people with guide dogs as well.

NCL never had braille but, they have a great access team.

The thing I can't understand where are they getting blind people who say that they don't want braille.  That is my thinking.

I am also in discussions with NAGDU on doing this as well, but President Gwizdala, has stated that it will have to wait until the National Hotline is in place.

If anyone would be interested in this, please write me off list, we are trying to get as many people from the NY affiliate as possible.

This lasts about 3-4 hours at the most, we don't sail anywhere.

You would need your own transportation to and from the Port of NY, once we have interested people I will work on the date, it would have to be on a Sunday, since President, David Stayer, my Chapter President observes the Sabbath so Saturday is out.

  Hi Wendy:

  I'll have to research which cruise lines still offer the Braille option for 
  its customers.  I no Carnival/Princess  no longer provides Braille however, 
  there information channel is a great substitute.

  RCL is phasing out Braille and not sure about NCL.

  ----- Original Message ----- I would like Braille to remain an option for 
  those who request it
  specifically.  It is a deciding factor for me whether or not to choose a
  specific cruise line/ship.
  Thanks,
  Wendy David
