Creator's Key Takeaways

I've had to seek medical treatment on a cruise just once, and a bill was about $534.

Thankfully, I carry travel insurance. I go with an annual plan that covers me and my children for all of our trips the entire year, both cruise and landbased.

And for us and most people in a household, it's under $500 per year. And trust me, it's worth every penny.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check medical center hours before visiting when not feeling well
βœ“Carry travel insurance, preferably an annual plan
βœ“Understand that health insurance may not cover cruise medical visits

Thankfully, I’ve only gotten sick on a cruise one time, but that bill (even for minimal treatment) was over $500. Thankfully, my annual travel insurance plan covered it in full. #cruise #cruisetips #shorts #cruiselife
