Nothing ruins a long-awaited cruise faster than getting sick — and after 60, staying well at sea matters more than ever. In this video I share what really keeps you healthy: why the hand-sanitizer gel does almost nothing against norovirus (you need soap and water — and wash AFTER you serve yourself at the buffet, not just before), how to wipe down your cabin on day one, how to dodge the "cruise cough," the dehydration risk that catches seniors out, preventing seasickness before it starts — plus what actually happens if you do get sick (the medical center stabilizes but is shockingly expensive), why travel insurance with medical evacuation and repatriation is non-negotiable (Medicare doesn't work abroad), and exactly what to pack in your own little health kit. A gentle, honest note: this is general wellness guidance, not medical advice — talk to your own doctor about vaccinations, seasickness remedies, and your medications, and read any insurance policy carefully. Medicare generally does not cover you outside the U.S. Sources / further reading: - Norovirus prevention (soap & water vs sanitizer) — cdc.gov, aarp.org - Staying healthy on a cruise & dehydration risk for seniors — novanthealth.org, thepointsguy.com - Travel insurance, medevac & Medicare abroad — cruisecritic.com, medicare.gov #cruise #cruisehealth #cruisetips #seniorcruise #cruising #cruiselife #norovirus #cruisehacks #cruiseship #cruisingafter60 #traveltips #seniortravel #cruise2026 #cruiseinsurance #cruiseadvice #stayhealthy #seasickness #cruisetipsandtricks #retirementtravel #cruisecompanion #medicareabroad #oceancruise #cruiseessentials #cruisevacation #cruisemedical
