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

✓Check medical center hours before visiting when not feeling well
✓Carry travel insurance, preferably an annual plan
✓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
