I am currently looking for a policy too.  When they ask for the total cost, that would include the airfare and hotel, right?  We haven't booked them yet, just the cruise portion.  I should be able to estimate those costs because the trip is 12 weeks away and I don't want to wait to purchase the insurance.

For the most part, yes. Of course, it is the best if you can get a free flight and hotel. Then you only need to worry about the cost of the policy.Travel insurance packages are usually the total cost. There are some travel deals that include the airfare and hotel, but the hotel is usually half-priced. That's why it's always a good idea to check the hotel and airfare separately for a cheaper deal.

My DW was in the same situation with having dental surgery before a cruise. But then on the cruise she unfortunately learned that she was allergic to the antibiotic that had been prescribed to her. (That's why I always reply not that I am aware of when asked if I have any allergies.)

I also had the same experience before a cruise. Dental surgery involves the use of antibiotics extensively. Before, during, and after the procedure, antibiotics are administered. They aid in preventing infections that can develop following the surgery. Not taking antibiotics after dental surgery carries a danger. Although there are some antibiotic alternatives, each has its drawbacks. Infection and inflammation may result in mouth and jaw pain and discomfort. Additionally, it may result in more severe problems like sepsis or life-threatening endocarditis. My cosmetic dentist helps me to find out which has no side effects on me.

I might also mention that often the middle lifts are the ones where the problems seem to occur.  We always have a mid forward cabin on Britannia for instance and I can only recall crowding at the front lifts immediately after theatre turnout or on disembarkation day.

 

My husband has several quite severe hidden disabilities (fibromyalgia, ME, myocardial bridging) and on good days walks down the stairs. However it is virtually impossible for him to climb even one flight of stairs without severe pain and yet anyone who sees him in the swimming pool may well think he's extremely able bodied.  Despite all these problems he still gives way to people in wheelchairs as he says but for the grace of God that could be him.

Hey,
I am also facing the condition of fibromyalgia. I know the situation and other disabilities which are related to it. Did your husband take any medication? Muscle weakness is the main problem. I used to take Pregabalin and methylcobalamin tabs every night for muscle tiredness and to get a night of sleep. I have sleep apnea too. Now I recovered my muscle strength by doing some strengthening exercises with the help of a physio. It worked for me. Now I don't have any difficulty climbing steps and doing work. You can also practice doing the exercises. It will change your husband's current condition.

But, yu 

But, you cannot use the power on a plane to power your CPAP, you must use your battery.

I am not sure about it.My uncle used to take it while travelling. I will ask him and let u know.

I use a CPAP for sleep apnea.  I'll be headed to Europe in 31 days for a TransAtlantic cruise, on a 9 hour flight.  I'll be taking my Dream Station Go in my carryon, but was wondering if anyone has used their CPAP on a flight?  I'll be on Air France operated by Delta.  Per Delta's site, I'll have to lug along my battery (which I've used for camping), so I doubt I'll try to use it.  On the other hand, if I could plug it into a 110 v outlet on the plane . . .  I survived a 15 hour flight from Vancouver BC to Sydney AU without it, and can do so again.  Was just curious . . .

Taking your CPAP machines with you while catching a flight is okay. My uncle has been using this for a long time and usually carries it with every flight. You have to follow some methods for a peaceful journey. First, you pack your CPAP prescription from your doctor in your CPAP case. You already said that it is a 9-hour flight, so pick a seat with power access if you need to use your CPAP machine. Get final approval from the airline agency. Do not keep your CPAP machine inside the luggage.
