American Cruise Lines Agrees to Improve Fleet Accessibility in ADA Settlement
As part of a settlement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, American Cruise Lines has agreed to improve its fleet accessibility.
The line had been sued after the U.S. Department of Justice received six complaints that the cruise line’s ships were not all accessible to or usable by individuals who use wheelchairs.
According to a press release from the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, where ACL is located, “The complaints alleged that American Cruise Lines failed to provide cruise ships that were fully accessible to passengers in wheelchairs, failed to provide for safe embarkation and disembarkation procedures for passengers in wheelchairs, and failed to provide wheelchair-accessible ground transportation for passengers during shore excursions.”
