at least you thought you should offer a service
At least you thought you should offer a service or assist.. that is going part way.. but to put the shutters up in effect to wheelchair users is just not acceptable.
I go on cruises a lot and crew have always managed to get me on and off a ship in port or to a tender.. where there is a will there is a way.. Disabled people do not want more of the cake.. but would like some of it.. but then some people do not think that is fair.

I am a shop owner (no wheelchair ramp, but assistance available) and my wife is now a wheelchair user so I can see things from both sides.
We bought the MH last year so that we could travel without thinking of disabled toilets for one.
Initially she was against the idea but now she loves it. We tend to use sites, especially those with a pub nearby. Most pubs are not wheelchair friendly but the staff and customers are - helping us in and out, moving tables, and themselves sometimes.
Last month we took the MH to Majorca, they put us and the MH on the wrong deck (no lift) - crew member took my wife, in the wheelchair, up two escalators. Scary enough but even scarier coming down at the other end !!
Overall we take the view 'live and let live' - life's too short
