Ian1943 2 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 My wife is disabled and is confined to a wheelchair. We have cruised with P & O on many occasions and the parking arrangements at Southampton are good - I can push the luggage to the car park (about 50 yards) whilst a stevedore pushes my wife's wheelchair and helps me to load the car. I would like to consider taking a cruise from either Bristol Avonmouth or Liverpool and wondered if any forum member could advise on parking arrangements at these locations for blue badge holders. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mayway 98 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 At Avonmouth there is no specific parking for Blue Badge holders but the car park is very close. In addition, you drop your luggage off at the entrance and the porters take it away. Similarly, many disabled people were alighting at the entrance and were wheeled directly into the building, often by the porters, while the driver went and parked the car. It is very flat and very easy, though be warned the departure loung is nowhere near as sophisticated as any of them at Southampton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian1943 2 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hello Mayway, Thanks for the above information. May I ask you a further question? Is a porter/stevedore allocated to each wheelchair user on disembarcation to push the wheelchair whilst the carer collects the luggage on a trolley? Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
