Creator's Key Takeaways

i sliced open the bottom of my foot and ended up in the medical center on the cruise ship getting stitches

it was probably one of the most disappointing things that has ever happened to me while traveling

the medical center was very well organized i felt very well taken care of

in the end it cost me exactly 300 i'm pretty sure that that's what it costs

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring water shoes when visiting beaches with hidden rocks
Consider travel insurance for medical incidents on cruises
If injured in port, consider visiting a local clinic before returning to the ship

Medical costs on a cruise shipCosts can be reasonable; $300 for stitches and follow-up was comparable to urgent care in the US
Missing the ship if seeking medical care in portConsider the time needed; returning to the ship may be more practical than risking missing departure
