If I remember correctly our total health unit bill that trip was $90. That included the initial visit when we had no idea what was wrong with him and then 3 separate visits (it was a Panama Canal cruise so we were on there for awhile), and if I’m remembering correctly most of that charge was the first visit and then the “swing by at this time for another treatment” wasn’t charged separately.
We’ve used the health units 3 times in our years of cruising (my strong as an ox, perfect attendance, never needed an ER son apparently saves up his accidents for the ships) and in every case they’ve been amazing, calm, and extremely professional and knew just how to talk to kids (and their panic mom). When he got his hand smashed in a door (4 stitches) 2 CMs ran over and someone called down and even though the health unit was “closed” at the time, we were met by the doctor at the door (and were whipped through the non-public areas down 9 decks by the CMs) in less than a minute.
Good to know they can handle lots of different types of medical situations and did not charge a huge sum. That makes me feel better knowing they are a legit medical center and on top of their game. You never know what type of scenario could happen while traveling but it sounds like Disney has it covered. Thank you!
