Episode 4- Can You Cruise If You're on Dialysis? What Royal Caribbean, Celebrity & Princess Say #4
#cruise #cruisetips #cruising 🚢 Yes, many people on dialysis can still cruise. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity,Princess and others welcome guests who do their own peritoneal dialysis or run their own hemodialysis machine, but the ship's medical team won't do dialysis for you. For hemodialysis done by a medical team, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity point you to Dialysis at Sea on select sailings. ⚠️ Please remember: this is only a starting point to point you in the right direction. Your cruise line and your kidney doctor have the final word — always confirm the details with them before you book. 💧 3 kinds of dialysis at sea: 1️⃣ Peritoneal (PD) — welcome on all three lines; bring your supplies or have them delivered to the ship 2️⃣ Hemodialysis you run yourself (like NxStage) — allowed under each line's rules 3️⃣ Hemodialysis with a medical team — Dialysis at Sea, select Royal Caribbean & Celebrity sailings 📋 Good to know: ✅ Princess: be stable on dialysis at least 12 months, carry your doctor's clearance, bring every supply ✅ Royal Caribbean: special needs form at least 30 days before you sail; for hemodialysis, call them 💵 One insurance company (Travel Guard) says onboard treatment can run up to $700 a session, and Medicare and Medicaid typically don't cover it 🔗 Each cruise line's dialysis contacts, questions to ask your kidney doctor, and the FREE Cruising on Dialysis Checklist: https://sailsanyway.com/dialysis 📝 Every cruise line's special needs form: https://sailsanyway.com/cruise-medical-forms 🎰 Cruise tips, port guides and casino comps: https://aicruisegranny.com ▶️ Watch #3, Should You Rent a Mobility Scooter for Your Cruise?, on our channel.
