#cruise #cruisetips #cruising The 12 cruise mistakes seniors make most: Medicare stops paying once the ship is more than 6 hours from a U.S. port, insurance waivers close 14–21 days after your deposit, and special needs form deadlines run 30, 45 or 60 days depending on the line. Every rule is shown in the cruise line's own words, with the date we checked it.
