@cruiseshiplawyer: We discuss the importance of travel insurance when going on a cruise. Even though hospitals in the U.S. are required to provide emergency care, this law does not apply to cruise ships. I share a case where an 89-year-old man needed emergency medical care that the cruise ship could not provide, and the family did not transfer him due to the cost. I emphasize that cruise lines should be held accountable for providing necessary medical care, even if the passenger cannot pay. Buying travel insurance can protect you from potentially life-threatening or life-ending situations on a cruise. #EmergencyMedicalCare #CruiseShipLiability #TravelInsurance #EMTALA #cruise #cruisetok #cruisehack #cruiselawyer
Counselor, Since the cruise lines are aware of the likelihood of a life threatening situation while at sea, insurance should be for-placed for all passengers. A $50 per passenger fee that includes medical coverage and transfer to a US facility in case of emergency.

I think 100% travel insurance should not be an option. It should be automatic.

Absolutely the cruise line have to be to some degree responsible for the care of a passenger. It looks terrible for them if they don’t, and that is the most selfish business of cruise lines can actually implement.

I don’t think the cruise line has the responsibility to foot the bill. Because then we all are paying for it as costs skyrocket to cover these situations. I do think the cruise line should require guests purchase insurance. Just my opinion.

I tried to speak a message and it went wild lol but my point was I have been abandoned while in a medical crisis so many times in major hospitals since this materials passed. It’s still happening. It’s crazy I’m being left this way

Spencer, if someone has insurance, but they are incapacitated on a cruise ship, how will the ship know that evacuation cost will be covered by insurance, especially if it is a solo traveler.

My first few cruises I didn't get travel insurance thinking it was a waste. And with me having a Heart Transplant, I should have it 100 %. Now every cruise I go on is with travel insurance thanks to TikToks like this. Thank you!!

cruise lines should make trip insurance mandatory for each cruiser or they can't cruise.
