I want everyone to be able to find and plan a cruise here, whatever device or assistive technology they use. This page says what the site does about that, where it still falls short, and how to reach me if something gets in your way.

What I am aiming for

The target for every page is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. The site is new and I treat that target as a standing commitment rather than a finished job: each change is checked against it before it goes live.

What is built in

Everything works with a keyboard alone. A skip link is the first stop on every page, every control shows a visible focus ring, and tabs, accordions and the planning form follow the keyboard patterns you would expect.
Text and its background meet at least the 4.5 to 1 contrast ratio, and text can be enlarged in your browser without losing content.
Animation is reduced or removed when your device asks for reduced motion.
Each page has one heading structure and named regions, so a screen reader can move between the header, the main content and the footer directly.
Photographs of ports carry the port’s name, purely decorative images are hidden from screen readers, and photos supplied by cruise lines carry the credit they ask for.
Prices, dates and the fare wording are written in text, never only in an image.
The planning form labels every field, explains any problem in words next to the field, and never times out.

Where it falls short

The route map on each sailing page is an interactive map. The list of ports in order, directly beneath it, carries the same information in text and is the version to rely on.
Ship descriptions, deck plans and photographs arrive from the cruise lines as supplied. Deck plans are labelled by name, but the detail inside them is only in the image.
Some pages are long. The section links near the top of a sailing page are there to shorten the trip.

How it is checked

Automated accessibility checks run against the WCAG 2.2 AA rules on every change before it reaches the site, alongside keyboard walkthroughs of the main journeys: searching, saving and comparing sailings, reading a sailing page and sending a planning request. Automated checks catch some problems and miss others, so I also rely on people telling me.

If something gets in your way

Email Hello@oomphtravel.com and tell me which page it was and what happened. I read those messages myself, reply within a business day, and fix what I can. If the site stops you from sending a planning request, say so in the email and we will simply plan by email or phone instead.
