A: You will be treated at the ship's medical center, and if you have a contagious illness like norovirus or COVID-19, you will likely be required to isolate in your cabin for a period, typically 24-48 hours after symptoms resolve.
Additional Context: Treatment at the ship's medical center is not free; fees are comparable to U.S. urgent care facilities and are billed directly to your onboard account. Insider Tip: Comprehensive travel insurance with medical coverage is strongly recommended, as medical evacuations at sea can cost over $25,000.
