Creator's Key Takeaways
We used to cruise without travel insurance. We thought we didn't need it. We were young, healthy, and honestly a bit reckless.

Today, we never set foot on a cruise ship without proper insurance.
The solution is to make sure that your travel insurance includes adequate medical coverage.
