NOTE

Importance of Travel Insurance for Medical Coverage on Cruises

Travelers should consider the importance of travel insurance for medical coverage on cruises, as onboard medical services come at an extra cost. The medical center on the ship has doctors, x-ray machines, pharmacies, and can provide various medical treatments. However, accessing these services may incur a charge, estimated at around $100 for a doctor visit. The cost is still considered cheaper than medical services in the U.S. without insurance. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been instances of expensive medical procedures on board, such as CPR priced at $800. Therefore, having travel insurance is crucial to cover any medical expenses incurred during the cruise, and it is advised not to undertake a cruise without ensuring adequate medical coverage through insurance.
