“I stumbled across this river cruise because we were headed to Schenectady and it was nearby. I’m glad I found it as it was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours with my 94-year-old father who is in a wheelchair. I called ahead to make sure that the cruise boat could accommodate a wheelchair and they explained that there is a ramp and it goes to the middle deck. There are bathroom facilities that are handicap accessible on the dock. The bathrooms on the boat are on the bottom floor where there are steps, but that was just fine for us for an hour and a half cruise.…”
