Creator's Key Takeaways

You have a heart attack in the middle of the Caribbean.

The Coast Guard bills you directly 15,000 for the helicopter.

Medical airlifts from cruise ships are not considered emergency services by most insurance companies.

This is why cruise lines push their overpriced insurance at booking, because they know what happens when you don't have it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy medical evacuation coverage specifically for cruise travel.
βœ“Do not rely on basic cruise insurance or standard health insurance for airlifts.
