Reread my post. With the exception of mandatory gratuities on an included drink package, they don't. You, of course, don't have to accept an included drink package and therefore not pay any tips. For those instances where tips are solicited, you are free to tip or not tip and if you do tip, you can choose the amount. They provide a recommendation but you don't need to follow it. You can go on a cruise and not pay any tips at all, albeit that is a pretty despicable thing to do.

Back to the original question.
Does anyone know if a cruise ship can charge whatever it wants for medical treatment? And if they can and it is within the travel insurance limits, does your travel insurance pay all of it without asking any questions?? |

If I have $50,000 in medical coverage and the cruise ship charges $47,000 for treatment for the flu, and I produce documentation from the cruise ship that the bill was $47,000, in your experience would the insurance company pay all of that? Even if 99% of doctors and hospitals would only charge about $5,000 for the treatment? It seems to me that if a cruise ship knew what the policy limits were on your travel insurance that the bill might be "inflated" to about what your policy limits are! |

We purchase an annual trip insurance policy to cover our trips out of the Country via Allianz the last few years.

No Inside Connections. For Disney Cruises or Hotels. Each Disney cast member has an Extension. I have probably spoken to 50 different members since 1971. You can ask for their extension, I have 3 in case one isn’t available. Who they are I have no idea, but 95% of the time they find a better rate, when I can’t find something online. DVC members can use their points, bank them, sell privately, or sell to DVC companies, which sell points from their customers to you. 5 minute net search. So that hotel you found Disney online reservation is $700, point sale can be $100-300. Cheap points can come at anytime, one just needs to take the date or pass. So no big secrets or insider info, just a little time out of one’s day, to save $50 to hundreds of dollars, to stay on property, or book that super expensive Disney cruise, for less.

Friends just returning from 7 day cruise. Flu landed one in the infirmary for 2.5 days, for fluids and meds. Started claim day one, with continuous bills added.
Prior to cruise Both complaining about how expensive their insurance was ($900 for both) due to age. Right now they are extremely happy for that purchase. No details yet on cash out.

It will be interesting to find out how their bill compares to the NCL bill. And do people usually go to the hospital for the flu?? |

My dad spent two nights about a year ago. In older people the flu is no joke.

Flu the extremely young and elderly death rate isn’t a small percentage, for any year. Since cruise ships can charge whatever they choose, doesn’t matter what line, the bill will not be standardized. So asking for hypothetical bills will never be the same from ship to ship, week to week, even in the same cruise line. Remember every ship is never registered from the US. You seem to be worried about this cruise and the possibility of health issue and cost over and above insurance. Hope you can sail away and still enjoy without constant worry.
