About this ebook
My wife had a debilitating stroke and required a wheelchair for mobility among other disabilities. As part of her therapy, we went on three cruises. They each had their own benefits, their challenges, and their drawbacks. Along the way, I was able to learn many things that may be useful to others considering the same for their loved one. Our experiences my help you plan your trip or even decide if it is something that will be beneficial or even possible.
