The industry keeps a lot of quiet secrets from us over 60, and most videos about them get several flat WRONG. So I'm doing this differently: 11 genuine insider secrets, then 3 "secrets" that are actually false. The big one first: if you need a medical evacuation at sea (helicopter to shore), the cruise line does NOT pay, you do, and it can cost $30,000–$100,000+, while ordinary travel insurance often caps it low. The real secret is a dedicated medevac membership (Medjet/Global Rescue, a few hundred a year, up to ~$500K). Plus: unlocking your cabin thermostat, the logged-out price trick, agent commission rebates, protecting an accessible cabin, disembarkation ghost charges, the double gratuity, tipping your steward EARLY, and the 3 myths (the shops aren't open in port, taking buffet food ashore can be illegal, and a VPN won't work at sea). A gentle, honest note: this is general guidance to keep you informed and accurate, cruise-line policies, insurance terms, and fees vary and change, so confirm current details. Medicare generally does not cover you outside the U.S. This channel is general travel information, not financial, insurance, or medical advice.
