Health Concerns While Cruising
Are there medical services onboard?
Virtually every cruise ship (except for some smaller vessels operating in coastal waters) has a fully equipped medical facility and staff to handle almost any emergency.
Is motion discomfort a problem?
Popular cruise itineraries boast some of the calmest waters in the world. In addition, stabilizers on modern ships, advanced availability of accurate weather information and development of effective preventative medications have, for the most part, eliminated the incidence of motion discomfort. Nevertheless some passengers still experience motion sickness.
Does my health insurance apply when I'm on board a ship?
Individual policies vary; you will need to ask your carrier.
Can I get a special diet?
Most ships can accommodate salt-free, low-carbohydrate, Kosher or other diet preferences. However, this request must be made in advance, so be sure to advise your CLIA-affiliated travel agent of this requirement when you book your cruise.
Are there non-smoking areas?
Today, virtually all ships have smoking and non-smoking tables and/or sections in the dining rooms and lounges. In fact, many cruise ship dining rooms, and even some entire ships, are now totally smoke-free, reflecting passenger requests. If you want your dining table in a non-smoking area, just tell your travel agent. On board, in "open-seating situations," ask your waiter or the maitre d'. They will do everything possible to accommodate your request.
