P&O try to make every bookable land excursion accessible to all but that isn’t always possible. Unfortunately some ports may not be accessible for those with mobility issues due to extreme tidal differences making the accessible gangways too steep or narrow. You should also consider whether the port’s transfer services such as shuttle buses or tender boats are accessible, and if they provide space for wheelchair storage. Before accessing the tender, you are required to prove you can independently step over a 45cm gap without assistance. If this is not the case, or the captain has doubts you are able to execute this manoeuvre, you will not be able to access the tender and go ashore.
