Saga Holidays discriminates

I am putting this under hobbies as I am prevented from carrying out my hobby of swimmig in the Medeteranian Sea.

SAGA has cancelled my holiday in CRETE and giving me a full refund.

Is that not DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION.?

Is SAGA breaking the Equallity Act?

She assured me that she was not discriminating against me because of my Asperger Syndrome.

SAGA HOLIDAYS have told me that I CANNOT come on a SAGA Holiday without my Mother or a friend.   It was because of the impression I made on the Danube Cruise.

She wanted a Doctors report that I am fit to travel.

I told her that ASPERGER SYNDROME IS a social disability not an Illness so there is no point asking my Doctor.

 

 

She said as there is only one rep per Hotel Saga cannot give me extra help so I cannot come on a SAGA Holiday on my own.

  • Did you refuse to provide a doctor's report and they cancelled because of this?

    Was this the reason they gave?  If not, what was the exact reason they gave?

    I don't think telling Saga it's a social disability would necessarily have helped your case with them. It may well be that they viewed something you did on the Danube cruise as anti-social and this is what they are worried about as they are unlikely to be autism-aware.  Are you aware of anything you did on the cruise that could have offended anyone or upset anyone?

    I can't see how it's a safety issue unless you did anything dangerous or looked as if you were intending to, that may have concerned them.  You didn't do a Kate Winslet did you (hanging over the ship [Titanic movie] to see the propellors!)
