For your Caribbean cruise, you might want to check out "Aruba Taxi" in Aruba for accessible rides, "Curacao Accessible Tours" in Curacao for excursions, and "Cartagena Access" in Cartagena for accessible tours. In Panama, "Panama Canal Tours" offers options for accessible viewing, while "Limón Tours" in Puerto Limón has accessible excursions. For Grand Cayman, "Grand Cayman Accessible" is a good bet for both tours and transportation. 

We did a cruise with land excursions last year and found starting with the land part worked out really well. My husband was able to skip a couple of tours without it messing up the overall trip. Doing land first lets you get the big adventures out of the way and then you can just chill on the ship. It was nice to unwind and enjoy the sea after the busy land days. 

When I went on my first cruise, I made sure to carry a copy of my passport and driver’s license with me. I kept the originals in my cabin safe, but it’s handy to have a copy on you in case you need to show ID or if you’re doing any onboard activities. 

If you’re open to a wild suggestion, consider the westgate resorts in Missouri - yes, not quite a beach, but they know how to make a stay memorable 🙂 For St. Thomas, check out local options and hope for an all-inclusive gem. 😉
