Creator's Key Takeaways
Last month, a passenger on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas spent two full days in the ship's medical center.
The bill? Over $10,000. Their insurance covered nothing because technically they caused it themselves.
I've been cruising for 6 years and I've watched the same mistakes happen repeatedly.
The passengers with best experiences aren't those who spend most money. They're the ones who understand how ships operate.
