Dialysis on cruise ships

[denise1040]

Hello,
I am about to begin dialysis, I think I will be doing in center dialysis. Our family is planning a cruise for next summer. Will I be able to go? Can I miss a day or two or do the cruise ship have dialysis?

There are cruises that have dialysis. Tou can find them at www.dialysisatsea.com. The cost is about $500 per treatment. Medicare won't pay but some private insurance companies will.

My mother is taking me on a "Dialysis at Sea" cruise in December. Its a 9-day cruise to Mexico. Actually, it's a care-giver get away. We have been taking care of my Dad for the last 4.5 years when he was in a assisted living ++ facility. Just look up what Flip mentioned. More later - my mother has the brochure.

We looked at doing a Dialysis at Sea cruise.
It sounds incredible, they can do dialysis and there is a special menu and everything.
It is pretty expensive and out of our budget, but if you can swing it I think it would be awesome.

I think for the dialysis at sea you have to pay the full price for your cruise. For 2 people also I think- even if u are going by yourself.
I don't think I'd go myself as I'm not much of a boat person.

But I did see in Florida they have 2 and 3 day cruises for $200-300 and you go to the Caribean, sleep on the boat one night or maybe 2, then come back to Florida!
I would like to try that as it is short enough that I wouldn't be bored

If anyone is interested in a dialysis cruise, you should contact you travel agent. They can provide all the neccessary information you will need.

I was a dialysis patient with Davita in Lumberton, NJ. I did PD. I am also, a travel agent. I received my kidney transplant April 21, 2009.
