Travel Insurance:
There's really no better way to protect your vacation investment than by purchasing travel insurance. With the possibility of cancellations, flight delays, lost luggage or passports, medical emergencies, unforseen evacuations and any other unexpected incidents, travel insurance can provide the reassurance and peace of mind that you need for an average cost of $8-10 per Vacation Day.
The medical insurance program you depend on at home often does not cover you once you leave the borders of the United States. Medicare assuredly will not cover you if you are hurt or sick. It is worth noting that ALL ships of foreign registry are considered to be "outside the United States" by Medicare; however, this point is not explained clearly in the Medicare Manual. Without basic coverage, travelers should be prepared to pay for any care they require, either by credit card or wire transfer of funds to the provider.
Worst case scenario...
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain. The ship has stopped and we will be preparing the Lido for an emergency evacuation. The United States Coast Guard has come alongside and we request your cooperation during this procedure." If you've cruised often , chances are you've seen (or heard of) a medical evacuation. Next to repatriating mortal remains, an extreme emergency requiring immediate evacuation while at sea is probably the most expensive circumstance travelers are not insured for. You could find yourself liable for tens of thousands of dollars. Payable without delay.
