Another Autism on the Seas Testimonial by a family member.

Another Autism on the Seas Testimonial by a family member.

- From Sharon Bramblett "We just came back from our cruise on Liberty of the Seas. My daughter Regina Hernandez and her husband Kevin, boarded with Teagan ( their autistic, almost six year old daughter), and their 2 1/2 year old typical son. Once we got thru the most difficult part, embarking (always difficult), but made easier thru AOTS quick embarking process, we only had the next few days to look forward too.
Our little girl had a marvelous time. Their were moments of pure ecstasy. Just a simple, sit down and start laughing. Lots of smiles and grins.
We had opted for the one on one care offered as well. Our baby girl bonded with Alicia almost immediately. She knew if mommy and daddy were not readily available, Alicia was right there. The AOTS orange shirts were also great in helping her know who she could turn to.
There were so many private activities for the group. The special dining times were handled so elegantly by the Royal Caribbean staff.
My daughter and her husband were able to enjoy some alone time during respite and day care. The were able to have some one on one time with Teagan and then with Evin.
The AOTS staff was extra ordinary. The staff helped with good times and with any meltdowns Teagan might be experiencing. This was a really great trip for us. Cannot say enough about this organization and the freedom they give families struggling with the autism journey."

Autism Won’t Stop Us From Cruising

I went on my first cruise during my honeymoon. My new husband and I did a 3-night cruise along with a few days at Universal Studios in Florida. I fell in love with the concept of cruising and decided that it would not be my last . . . and it wasn’t.

We did a Disney Cruise when our oldest was 2-years old and then did another when our second born was one and again the next year. But things changed after our third child was born. Even before the diagnosis of autism, we knew that life would be different with him. Autism was a challenge in every day life, so how in the world would we continue to go on cruises. I would book a cruise and then cancel, book another cruise and then cancel that one.

I wanted to cruise again but I was just unsure of how it would work out. After our fourth child was born, I decided to become a travel agent and dove deep into training to help families with disabilities with vacation planning. I felt like it would be hypocritical of me to tell other families that they could go on vacation and enjoy themselves if I was still avoiding going on a cruise with my own family.

So we did it. We went on a cruise and survived so we did another. But I realized that even though I was able to make sure that our kids had fun, my husband and I weren’t getting a chance to relax and enjoy our cruises as a couple. That’s when I did some research and learned about Autism on the Seas. This was it. I realized that this was the company that I needed to work with.
