Why this site exists

Older travelers ask the same careful questions: Can I get around the ship? What if I need oxygen or dialysis? Will Medicare cover me? Can I go on my own? The answers are scattered across dozens of cruise-line pages. This site gathers them in one place, in large print, with every rule linked to its source.

Where she has sailed

Kathryn has sailed with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, Celebrity, MSC, Virgin Voyages and Cunard, and stayed in MSC Yacht Club and Norwegian's Haven.

How the advice is checked

The guidance here is general. Cruise-line rules and Medicare rules are quoted from each organization's own website, with the date they were checked. Lines change their rules; when a rule matters to your trip, confirm it with your line before you sail. Kathryn is a travel advisor, not a doctor or an insurance agent.

Kathryn plans cruises through her agency, Travelin' With Kathryn Lyn. There's no fee to plan with her: the cruise line pays the advisor. Call or text (239) 357-0814, email kathryn@travelinwithkathryn.com, or use the form below.

Ask Kathryn a question

Tell her who is traveling, roughly when, and anything she should know — like a wheelchair, oxygen or a special diet. She will suggest ships that fit.

Please don’t include passport or payment details. Kathryn never needs them to answer a question.
