We only cruise Disney and when I go with family I pack every med possible just in case. When I cruise without my kids I don’t bring AS MUCH but still you don’t want to be caught without something if you need it!

Okay why does the toe reminds me of Disney into the woods you’ll never need to walk!!!!! 😂😂😂

First time listener on your channel. I'm just amazed at the 70+ hours you had shared and the corn story you had shared is hulious!!😂 i thought my job was bad,I work in a hospital where I work 16 hours a day as a dietiation aid. I defiantly have to give you abd the other ladies on the ship kuddles for what they are doing and yourself for what you did do back then. Im glad to hear you are out of that and to hear how much happier you feel about the decision you made for yourself. That is awesome! Keep living your life because life is too short. Looking forward to hearing more stories. ❤ New subscriber!

My adult daughter got sick as a passenger. She confined to our room for 24 hours. They brought her and me food. They offered videos to watch and gave a stuffed animal.

The one cruise I went on, it felt like there was no air in our room. The second night I was laying in bed literally gasping, so I went up to the front desk. We were young, maybe 18,19, naive, we just didn’t know stuff 🤪. But the whole time our air levels I guess, I’m sure you know what it is, I can’t really remember but I guess just like a small lever you pull up and down, was way down. So luckily we could breathe again, but it was just so bad. And there was no KZread then, I didn’t research every little thing about it before we went, I didn’t think about the lack of oxygen, and we were in a good room, only like 1 floor down. Anyways, yeah. Even with the air okay though I just couldn’t imagine living in that recycled air!

I am a nationally registered and retired paramedic as well as emt instructor. Cruise medical has issues, medical evacuation flights are done way too often at a large cost in fuel expense to the coast guard. CVA, cardiac, TBI, major lacerations caused by drunk passengers are a problem. Airlifted is common. They often don’t use certified ER doctors who understand very emergent conditions. I posted to an admiral and he thought a surcharge for all ships in the Caribbean would be a good idea and help encourage better facilities

What about guests? I've been wondering about that bcuz I'd love to go on a cruise but I'm often sick. I have a brain tumor and other less minor health problems. I'd ask my neurologist before I'd go but what if something happens while I'm out there? Is there a hospital area for guests and if so how does that work? Thanks for any info you can give me:). Congrats on a year of weekly uploads❤. I've certainly enjoyed it😎

Christina Incognito do not go on a cruise if you have any medical issues. If anything happens they have medical at an EXORBITANT cost and you’ll have to be airlifted off the boat worst case scenario. Best case scenario in getting sick on a ship is being quarantined to your room and then not getting to enjoy the vacation you spent so much money on. Can’t recommend all inclusive resorts on land enough!

It's interesting this older video got suggested to me during this time of Corona COVID-19 going around. You we're very informative. One thing you didn't mention was the cost of any for the medical services to employees. Also if you got signed off while on the ship did you still get paid?? Thanks for the great videos!

Okay i died laughing at “the corn” descriptions! 😂 horrible and funny at the same time! The whole idea of “the injection” gave me the willies. No thanks. I’m good. What?! I’m bleeding out my eyes and I need The Injection? No no this isn’t blood. These are designer tears of magical joy. 😬 Nope. No injection of unnamed origin needed! Followed by a mad dash to the nearest lifeboat and off I go! 😳 YIKES. Great installment as always! PS-your leap over the fence is EVERYTHING. No words. Just love. More please!!!!! 😍

What was the medical when you got on the ship? Like what tests do they do? Also, would there be time to get off the ship during breaks?Im going to be in nursery, did you have any friends from there?

Prior to working on the ship I had to go to a doctors appointment and get a full blood panel don! I also had to do a hearing test and a sight test. Yes! If you are in port and have a few hour break you can get off of the ship! Im so excited for you! If you have any questions just let me know!
