Pride of America (NCL) will leave Portland for Hawaii mid March, and get our first guests in early April.

I can see that RCCL cover some medical stuff, but we're wondering if you think baggage/gadget only is enough, or whether he needs something more comprehensive in case he gets injured while ashore!? What do people normally do? TIA!!
