Staff Assisted Excursions
There are some shore excursions that are better suited and more accommodating to your family’s needs than others. We have developed a series of accommodations to assist you and your family.
Excursion Reviews
We maintain a list (100's and growing...) of reviews of Excursions from all of the cruise ports from parents and caretakers of our special needs guests, who have provided us with this information on the Feedback Form we send them upon the completion of their cruise. These reviews provide invaluable insight from the viewpoint of those who already experienced the excursions with their special needs children. These priceless reviews are included when you vacation with us.
Private Excursion Meeting with Cruise Line Excursion Specialist
Staff Assisted Cruises ONLY
During each Cruise, we will coordinate a PRIVATE session with the onboard Cruise Line Excursion Specialist. The Cruise Line Excursion Specialist will make recommendations, and answer any questions and concerns you might have in making Excursion Plans for each port we will visit. This Private Session also provides you with the opportunity to see which excursions other families are taking to help coordinate plans to go as a group.

- We choose the most convenient and accommodating beaches closest to the ship, so the journey to the beach is as short and inexpensive as possible.

Individual Excursion Assistance by AotS Staff Staff Assisted Cruises ONLY
Families are free to ask our staff to join them on port excursions to assist with small groups or individual families. This service requires the fee of the excursion to be paid for the staff member by the family or small group, and any other rate negotiations are between the staff member and the family. Please feel free to inquire to our Group Leader once onboard. This is not a service that can be arranged prior to the cruise.
