Start with the specific ship and sailing. Confirm cabin measurements, bathroom configuration, equipment policies, elevator access and procedures during embarkation and emergencies.
Build the plan
Port access can change with tides, tenders and local infrastructure. Ask which calls may require steps or small boats and what alternatives exist when independent shore access is limited.
Make it resilient
Cruise lines and ports change practices. Obtain current written answers for needs that determine whether the trip is workable.
Verify the essentials
Schedules, access, weather, prices and operating conditions can change. Confirm anything essential through current official sources and directly with the responsible provider.
