Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the most dangerous assumptions seniors make is thinking Medicare or a regular health plan will cover them at sea.

Without it, one unlucky moment can turn a dream cruise into years of debt.

Walking slowly, holding railings, and choosing proper non-slip shoes makes a world of difference.

Carrying a refillable water bottle, sipping steadily throughout the day, and pacing yourself in the shade keeps your body one step ahead of the sun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get a solid travel insurance policy that covers medical emergencies, evacuations, and pre-existing conditions.
✓Carry a refillable water bottle and sip steadily to avoid dehydration.
✓Keep all medication in your carry-on and bring more than you think you'll need.
✓Leave space in your schedule to nap and pace yourself instead of racing to every event.
✓Check if your itinerary includes tender ports and ask about assistance beforehand.
