  1. An extract, One of the difficulties that our readers often tell me about is access to the tenders and shore excursions. It seems that if you are not mobile many cruise ships can’t accommodate wheelchairs in the tenders. I was thrilled that Kathryn took this great photo showing the access on Ovation of the Seas. How refreshing to see a ship with wheelchair access to the tenders. Wheelchair access to the tender for shore excursions Kathryn says, “being a brand new ship built in 2016 it’s very accessible, they even have wheelchair lifts to the tender boats. Here is the porthole at the bottom of the ship that I was able to get to to use tender boats using my manual wheelchair.” Kathryn does warn that, “people do need to realise that transfer to tender can be dependant on weather conditions, especially if you use a wheelchair, the water was pretty calm so that was good.”
  2. Hi Maree, I don't remember any stairs to access the tenders but did find this article https://havewheelchairwilltravel.net/ovation-seas-accessible-cruise-ship/
  3. Travelling when it was at parity or even better was wonderful. Had made lots of trips booked, most overseas and paid them in full as our dollar started dropping.
  4. Danger island was the launching point for the bridge to bridge waterskiing race, Hawkesbury to Nepean. Went there once for the start and had cold pies for breakfast.
  5. The east coast needs the rain, there are already parts in drought.
  6. Yes, Corfu it is, no sign of the Durrell's.
