WHat if something happens and you have to get off?

[Eggleboo]

Last night I found out that my father passed away and that another relative has terminal cancer. My father-in-law also has MS and hasn't been feeling well. We are set to go on a cruise the first week of May and now I am stressing over what if something happens when we are out at sea? Is there any way to get off and get back home? We waited a long time to decide to try cruising because I am petrified of boats, but we are doing it and I just would like one less problem to stress about! LynnA

P.S. Sorry to hear about your father's passing.

Make sure you have trip insurance and you should be OK. We always go through life wondering what if and praying it doesn't happen. Trip insurance will at least help you pay for the unexpected. You can certainly fly out from one of the islands if you needed to get back.
Sorry to hear about your loss.

Thank you and you are correct, we can think what if, but probably shouldn't. I guess tonight reading these boards and participating on them is just a form of therapy for me to keep my mind busy! I am sure our cruise will be fantastic.

As far as swimming back to shore....I better start working out more!

Definately purchase trip insurance.

Two months before our cruise we had a brand new preemie grandaughter...we made sure...with the insurance company, should anything happen to her and we need to get back home we could and we wouldn't lose the money on the trip.

Insurance company was great, answering all our questions and letting us know specifically what would and would not be covered.

We had a great cruise, the baby is now 13 pounds and all is well!
