Creator's Key Takeaways

Good news, you're cleared to fly home. Bad news, it'll cost $70,000 out of pocket.

Travel insurance may feel dull, but it is as essential as your passport.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford the trip, at least not safely.

That is more than $100,000 out of pocket, all for skipping insurance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always get travel medical insurance with evacuation coverage
✓Know your coverage and verify limits before traveling abroad
✓Don't skimp on trip cancellation or interruption insurance
✓Understand policy exclusions and close coverage gaps
✓Keep documents and emergency information accessible

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Travel insurance seems expensive — It typically costs 4-10% of trip cost and provides millions in coverage
Medicare or existing health insurance will cover me abroad — Medicare pays nothing overseas and most private plans have limited coverage
I don't need insurance for a short trip — Medical emergencies can happen anytime and evacuation costs are extremely high
