Passengers were told to stay in their cabins because you coundn't even walk "straight" down the halls.

I guess we wouldnt have that problem :grin:

Rita felt ill on our last cruise from a combination of rumrunners and 18 foot swells. We did not go to dinner that evening. The next day she woke up hungry and raring to go!

I hurt my leg on a motorscooter in Cozumel and used the Princess infirmary. My TRICARE insurance covered it. We had to use the cruiseline's US address. If you get travel insurance, it covers, often up to $50,000 of necessary medical expenses incurred on the cruise. I found the costs similar to what I'd expect in the US.

On our Star Clipper cruise some years back my wife broke her wrist in a fall on the ship. They had only a nurse. There was a retired Swiss orthopedic surgeon aboard and he set it and put it in a cast, provided by the ship. We were only charged for the cast material. The orthopedic surgeon back in the US said it was fine, and redid the cast.

Hey Joey. I must say I was rather impressed with the infirmary on the Pride. I was there at 8am, and in and out in about 20 minutes or so. A nurse saw me first, took my vitals, etc., then the doctor came in and examined. Both people were very, very nice. I got 7 days worth of antibiotics, and the total bill was $50.00, which I just put on my Sail and Sign card.

My last cruise, NCL Majesty, 1st sea day was very rough. We couldn't the hallways straight and everything slid off the dresser that night. Once I was sick, I felt fine and ready to go. :cool:

I use The Patch!!! so I do very well. DH got sick on the Pride to Mexico - but thinks it was food-related. Only lasted a few ghours thank goodness.

So far so good - lol.

Just once on a cruise to Hawaii. It was really rough, everyone was reeling and holding on to the walls. It started around 10pm so we just went to bed.
