Saga Holidays discriminates

David

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.

  • I would have thought signing a disclaimer should satisfy them as perhaps they are worried you might put yourself in danger and they would be responsible for you.

    Did she mean that you were "jay walking" in the traffic or something?  And presumably this would be on entry or exit to the ship or while on an onshore excursion?  Do you agree that you walked in front of traffic and put yourself in danger?  I mean anyone can have a momentary lapse in attention and be distracted.

    Do you feel you are a danger to yourself or others?  I mean, having Asperger's means you have normal range IQ so you are capable of functioning as any other adult when it comes to safety, so I would say in that case yes, they are discriminating.
