Creator's Key Takeaways

I got the uh the bill for yesterday. So, I if you if you haven't been following, yesterday I was tested positive for COVID and I decided I would take the Paxlovid uh antiviral medicine and that costs $150.

The consultation for the doctor to prescribe that costs $750. So, if you aren't sure if you want travel insurance, here's a quick illustration that for a 10-minute visit with a doctor, that's $750 that goes onto your account.

I am in isolation. I now have the sore throat. I didn't have it yesterday. I have the sore throat. I have a headache. My voice is a bit horsearse and I'm coughing a little.

And I'm assuming they're going to give me a lunch menu. I don't know if my dinner menu is going to be the same every night or if it's going to change with the dining room, but I guess we'll find out, won't we?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance to cover unexpected medical costs.
If you test positive for COVID on a cruise, be prepared to isolate in your cabin.
Take Paxlovid as directed and manage side effects with hard candy.

YouTube Video Description

Hello Travelers, I boarded the Sky Princess on July 20, 2024 for a trip around Scandinavia. This is a sea day, and I am stuck in my cabin with Covid. Since I tested positive for covid yesterday, I am isolating in my cabin until further notice. When the crew delivers anything to my door, they knock, set the items down on the floor, and I wait until they leave to get them. They are wearing masks as well. They brought all three meals for me, as well as menus to order from. I tried to keep it all pretty simple. I have a sore throat, headache and a cough and sniffles, but otherwise I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve had my initial dose of Paxlovid and it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. That is a known side effect, along with intestinal fun. So when I realized I was down to the last roll of toilet paper, I placed an order to have my cabin stew leave me a care package. He also brought me Kleenex, which is good because I forgot to ask for it. After talking to several people today (various departments called to see how I was doing and if I needed anything), and the medical center, I have been given the all clear to leave my cabin tomorrow (while wearing a mask). So this was not too bad an experience so far. Please like this video and subscribe to my channel to make sure you don’t miss future content. I have more videos for this cruise, as well as future cruises booked through the rest of this year and beyond. Thanks for watching!
