    Just finished a 15 day cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam-There are no medical personnel on the ship, they can't give u a Tylenol; without a MD on board.
    Cruise @ your own risk--just visited my dock, got scripts ,chest x-ray & a covid swab.

    Hope I'm around to post a follow up

    Considering you’re usually not more than 300 feet from shore, I don’t see
    a huge concern. Chest X-ray?

    300' from shore and a couple of miles from a doc's office and the boat is continually changing locations--just ry to catch up with the boat if you're in foreign county

    I got covid on the cruise, and according to stats most people my age do no live more than six months after getting covid-what pisses me off we just spent $30K to commit suicide-

    Unless you have other serious health issues and were not previously vaccinated, you should not have any greater risk than anyone else. I have many patients that had COVID and are doing fine 2-3 years later.
