First contract as a Sous Chef (the first female on ever for POA), I join the ship on 03/03/2022 in Portland. Pride of America (NCL) will leave Portland for Hawaii mid March, and get our first guests in early April.

Do you recommend getting travel insurance to cover the whole contract? My son is based in the UK but is about to join RCCL in Miami, he'll be away for 13 months. 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!!
