Creator's Key Takeaways

Unfortunately, cruisers of all ages frequently get injuried or worse during a cruise shore exursion.

You're going to have to hire a good lawyer first because there is no rights or remedies based on the goodwill and good corporate practices of these cruise lines.

They want you to think that, right? They want you to think that to get you to purchase it and to get you to engage in all of these things.

You have to be your best advocate. You cannot take no for an answer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Document everything with photos and videos during and after an incident.
✓Get back on the ship for medical care rather than using local clinics.
✓Purchase travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage.
✓Book shore excursions through the cruise line for better liability options.
✓Be your own advocate and do not accept 'no' from medical staff.

Assuming the cruise line is responsible for excursions — Understand that cruise lines often disclaim liability; book through them for better recourse.
