I am a person with a hearing loss, I wear two hearing aids, and I am glad to have the opportunity to add my comments to the second draft of the American Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Passenger Vessels.

Recently I booked a cruise on a major cruise line and informed my travel agent that I was hard of hearing and needed:

Captioned movies
A television in the room with captioning Hearing aid compatible telephone Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) for the shows Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) for the tours A door knocker and a vibrating alarm clock

Thank you for the opportunity to offer comments.
