Thanks Heather. I am still talking about it with my husband. I really would only go through autism on the seas. I'd like to be able to leave her with a group so she can have fun and we can have a bit of a break! Thanks so much!

This little video exudes LOVE! What an impressive program you guys have created. I’m still trying to talk my daughter into letting me take my grandchildren on the August 2010 cruise but surprisingly she is more interested in doing the July cruise to Bermuda. I’m very eager to meet you Jamie. Keep up the great work.

If I could walk on water Doug, there would be no Autism! Doug, I think I remember you are in California so I suggest you look at our May 2010 cruise out of San Diego.

Marge, you and your family would be welcomed on any of our cruises. Email me if you need help nudging your daughter... :-)

My family and I have not tried Autism on the Seas but I think we are ready. We just came back from a 7 day Carnival cruise and were very upset with their lack of knowledge in reference to my daughter and her Casein free diet and her other allergies. Every night was a constant struggle! It was very upsetting to deal wit...h this on a family cruise and there were no options given to us except Soy Milk Creme Brulee.
We are 6 time cruisers with Carnival and let them know this.. They suggested another ship that deals with Special Needs. At that point I said , "Oh, so exclusion is much better than inclusion for you?"
What a difficult time for us.. My daughter Megan is a beautiful 8 years daughter that should have had fun and not had to deal with this. Thank you for letting me voice this. I look forward to sailing with Autism on the Seas soon!

Pam, I too am sorry you had such a bad experience on Carnival. There is a great deal of preparation that goes into our group cruises that our families never see. Endless emails and conversations between RCCL Access Dept. in Miami and directly to ship staff months in advance of the cruise. Not to mention the coordination & training that takes ...

I assure you we will be diligent in accommodating your daughters every needs, after all, this is her vacation too! Hope to meet you soon on board one of our future cruises…

Joy Crownover Cameron Cody climbed the rock wall to the top for his first time ever on the Mariner of the Seas...(he wanted to see the jumping spiders at the top) Well...he just climbed to the top of the rock wall at an indoor play ground. Half the battle is just finding a way to try something new-now he's "Spiderman".
