Get readyA weekly episode: cruise news, deals worth knowing about, and the best listener question of the week.
Listen inIf your body has opinions about stairs, gangways and tenders, I have a whole separate site for you. SailsAnyway covers accessible and limited-mobility cruising properly instead of squeezing it into a paragraph: what each pier actually asks of you, which tender ports are a problem and why, the special-needs forms and the deadlines that catch people out, and how to choose a cabin you can move around in.
Same voice, same sourcing, all of it in one place. She sails anyway, and so can you.
