Editorial Summary

The creator details a medical experience involving a knee injury sustained during a cruise on the Norwegian Bliss. The injury originated during a previous cruise on a Holland America Line ship, but the pain intensified when the creator stepped onto a tender boat in Cabo San Lucas. Despite the pain, the creator initially attempted to continue working as a content creator for the cruise line. After deciding to skip a planned hiking excursion to rest, the creator visited the shipboard medical center. The medical visit included blood work, X-rays, and the provision of a knee brace and bandages. The creator provides a line item breakdown of the total bill, which amounted to 812 dollars. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on a decision regarding an accident occurrence form. The creator chose not to fill out the form to avoid making what they felt was a dishonest accident claim, even though doing so might have changed the billing structure. The creator concludes by emphasizing the importance of having travel insurance to recoup such unexpected medical expenses.

I have my Cru medical bill and thinking about it the way I answered one single question it it cost me hundreds hundreds of dollars

I am a super stubborn person I did not reach out to my contact at NCL after I got hurt because I didn't want them to tell me to not do the work

the second pop even though it was painful to the point where I wanted to pass out it it actually has made my leg feel better over the last few days
