I had the misfortune to be emergency disembarked. Slipped on wet deck and dislocated and cracked my femur.
Thank God we were still docked in Key West. The next stop would have been Mexico.
The ship had KW EMS pick us up at the ship. The crew packed our cabin (missed several things but fortunately we had friends staying on board to get the rest) and left it with the Port Agent.
EMS took me to Lower Keys Medical Center. A much better facility than I was expecting. They took great care of me.
The port agent called my wife and asked which hotel he should take the luggage to. He arranged for a room at the now Opal resort right at Mallory Square.
Our travel (and our health) insurance paid for everything. Including Uber’s and meals for my wife.
The travel assist on our health insurance arranged for a car service and nurse to get us to the Airport a few days after surgery. They arranged for flights home (in first class) and for a car to pick us up and take us home.
We will never travel without travel insurance.
