Doc's needed before we leave Port

[Hockeychic]

I was just on the Disney Cruiseline site and they have some forms that you will have to complete before you sail. One of them is a medical form, to be signed by your DR. Does this have to be done? Or is this only if you have a pre-existing condition that might require medical care on board???

Thanks

the medical form is only if you have a medical condition they need to be aware of (diabetes, heart condition, asthma, etc.)

Oh great thank you.....I was thinking...wow if I had not have noticed this we would not have gotten it completed.

I have a minor medical condition...underactive thyroid but I don't think I need a DR care while on board for that....lol

Thanks a bunch

The medical form is essentially a doctor's verification for special services while on the ship. Examples might include a refrigerator for insulin or other medications (colder than the "beverage cooler" that is in all the rooms), an assignment to a handicapped cabin, an IV infusion of needed medications, etc. You do not need this form do not know in advance that you need the ship's medical services or have special medical needs.

You do not need this form just because you take regularly prescribed medications. Just bring your medications in an original container from the pharmacy. I save my past container and count out the exact number that I'll need for the trip--yes, I could drop one or whatever, but that way there is no issue of bringing them back and I know that I have enough left when I get home.

other papers will come with your docs. Fill them out in advance as we spaced and forgot and had to do it in line. But if you do space you probably won't be alone.
jut a little FYI
