Creator's Key Takeaways

One couple I know paid $150 just to talk to the ship's doctor, and that was before any treatment.

If it hits 103°, see the ship's doctor, no matter how well stocked your first aid kit is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring high SPF sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, and aloe vera gel for sun protection.
Pack insect repellent for shore excursions, especially in the Caribbean and Alaska.
Carry extra prescription medication and keep it in your carry-on; avoid CBD products.
