Don't Shipwreck the Family Reunion
Part 2

Health

Next check to see if your medical insurance covers you worldwide. Medicare doesn't cover expenses incurred outside the US, nor do many insurance plans. Check with your insurance company and check with Medicare. Check again.

You can fill in the gaps with travel insurance, but make sure you read the fine print and get MEDICAL travel insurance. Some cruises offer you "travel insurance" when you book, but it may only cover cancellations, trip interruptions, lost or delayed baggage, financial failure of carrier, or terrorism. Which you may want too, but it isn't medical coverage.

What you want is medical coverage outside the US. This should include medical evacuation (unless you relish having emergency surgery wherever you might happen to be), medical reunion, and return of mortal remains, all of which can be very costly.

Bring written proof with you that you have the insurance. Even then, bring a credit card with ample available credit on it. Someone on my last cruise had to go to the emergency room in Cozumel and they would not accept any insurance -not the ship's, not anyone's. Only a credit card.

Yes, most ships have doctors and infirmaries, but they probably don't have an x-ray machine, and things can happen to you on land as well.

Wellness

It's perfectly possible to come back from a cruise in better shape than when you left. There are healthy dining alternatives, work out rooms, swimming pools, tracks, active excursions, Tai Chi, dancing, and all the elements for an active healthy vacation.

First Aid

Pack a small first-aid kit with you. Some things are available in the infirmary, in the ship store, and certainly on land, but can be costly, and also it will take you time to hunt them down; time better spent having fun. Having your own blister bandages, tube of Neosporin, and anti-diarrhea prescription might save you hours of time!

Medications

Pack enough of your prescription medications to get you through the vacation and then some, and keep them on your person. You never know when your luggage will be lost or delayed, or when you might be delayed getting back home.

Food and Water

Check State Department guidelines again. There are places it isn't recommended you drink the water. Use your common sense about where you eat, or ask the ship staff for advice.

Fun

Now for maximizing the fun part.

Some people cruise for the formal night[s]. Others wish it would go away. There is always most always a casual buffet alternative. Check your itinerary on this.

If you want to rent tux and full attire, go here: Cruise Line Formal . Most ships keep some inventory onboard, but it's best to order early. There are usually tailors on board.

Photographs

The larger ships are geared to take photographs and want to sell them to you. They are very accommodating and you don't want to miss this opportunity. Yes, they can arrange your family group of 30 people around the staircase and take a beautiful shot, but also get a Christmas card photo of you and your husband, and a special portrait of your 80-year-old mother.

Bring different wardrobes and take advantage of different groupings and backgrounds. Photographers are standing around in the evenings looking for people to photograph, so don't be shy. They're perfectly happy to oblige. You are not limited to one shot!

What opportunities am I talking about? Besides the cherished formal-night portraits, a group of college women traveling together appeared in their cruise bathrobes. One family group all wore khaki shorts and their red family reunion t-shirts. Another couple had their 4 children dressed for a Christmas photo, and an individual was dressed in her business suit getting a black and white head shot for her website.

Planning ahead can assure smooth sailing. Bon voyage!
