We almost never thought much about travel insurance… until our trip to Italy took an unexpected turn. On the last day of our cruise vacation, my dad became seriously ill while we were in Rome. As a physician, I knew this could have been something life-threatening, so we made the difficult decision to go straight to a public hospital in Italy. What followed was an 8-hour emergency room visit, CT scans, lab work, and a crash course in navigating international healthcare while traveling abroad. In this video, I share: ✈️ Why we decided to buy travel insurance through Delta/Allianz 🚢 What happened during our medical emergency in Rome 🏥 What the hospital experience was really like 💵 How much everything cost 📄 How we successfully got reimbursed through travel insurance ✅ Tips to make sure your own claim gets approved Thankfully, everything turned out okay — but this experience completely changed how we think about travel insurance for international trips. If you travel internationally, cruise frequently, or travel with family members or older adults, this is something you should definitely think about before your next trip. #TravelInsurance #RomeItaly #CruiseTravel #Allianz #DeltaAirlines #TravelTips #InternationalTravel #RoyalCaribbean #TravelVlog
