Creator's Key Takeaways

I slipped and fell and broke my skull. I think I lost all my money from my cruise that I had booked.

We always say, if you're going to go without the cruise ship, always book with someone that says they will refund 100% if your ship doesn't dock.

If you get hurt on a cruise ship, the medical department on the cruise ship, by the way, is amazing... but they limit themselves in relative to exposure that they don't want to get into stuff.

It all comes down to risk and value. How much risk are you willing to take on and how much money are you willing to spend?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your credit card benefits for built-in travel insurance coverage
Book excursions with companies that offer 100% refund if the ship doesn't dock
Consider annual travel insurance if you take multiple trips per year
Get proof from the cruise line on letterhead if a port is missed
Purchase travel insurance for medical emergencies and evacuations
