After two years of living in survival mode after our motorcycle accident, we decided it was time to take a trip that had been planned before our lives changed. We made the call and got our cruise set up with Carnival Cruise Lines to sail Baja Mexico on a four day sailing.
We traveled via car to Long Beach, California to go on our first cruise. This video is a quick recap of the accessibility challenges and wins that came with our trip. There is never enough planning that can go into a vacation, but it sure is a bigger challenge while being a caregiver and managing our spinal cord injury regiment while on the road.
We share these details with everyone here so that if you are just starting out, whether as a caregiver or a person living with spinal cord injury, you'll know that there is life to live after injury!
First up is a quick overview of Long Beach accessibility while we navigated the streets to find food. Not the best sidewalks we have encountered!
Then onto a quick review of our stay at @motel6724 Long Beach. Let me tell you - they have the best customer service. Easy to contact and certainly want to make sure they do the best for their clients. We had a small hiccup there but they were on it!
And finally, a brief recap of our experience on the Carnival Radiance... what a great time we had there! The ship was amazing and they went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. Our cabin steward, I Made, was nothing short of stellar! I will be posting another video soon that goes more in depth of the accessible features of this particular ship.
Shout out to Hani @TheBeachLife for his great videos for first time cruisers. We had a much easier time finding the port because of his efforts and the great detail he puts into ensuring travelers find their way to the ship!
We hope you enjoy the video. We look forward to sharing more experiences we encounter as we navigate life with spinal cord injury. Hit the subscribe button to follow our adventures!
