[Travelandtourism] Eliminating braille to your clients.

Cheryl, I had to provide my own Braille for menus, activity schedules, and 
other docs for Princess.  They only had the in-room emergency information 
and room service menu in Braille.  My last Princess cruise I had requested 
Braille Bingo cards and they couldn't find them until the last day.  So, 
what they say isn't always what you get. In my 3 Princess cruises, I have 
had to provide a thumb drive but the formatting of the electronic docs could 
not be read by my Braille Sense.  It was pretty frustrating.
