    FTA:

    "Under the cruise operator’s terms and conditions, guests are required to pay in full the expenses they incurred on their trip, and Royal Caribbean doesn’t accept “land-based health insurance plans.” The company advises guests to consider travel insurance before setting sail.

    Mr Wasney and Ms Eberlein had neither health insurance nor travel insurance before they boarded their Caribbean cruise."

          No, it means you already know that you have a chronic medical condition and it shouldn’t be surprising you might need medical care on vacation and plan appropriately including buying travel medical insurance. This is just part of adulting.

            US problems… Nobody else needs to worry about whether or not they have health insurance, do they?

              You tell me, does European or other national health care extend to the country of Panama where the ships are frequently flagged?
