Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Cruise Travel Insurance, Do you need it? Why You NEED Travel Insurance!

🛳️ After a medical emergency at sea, we’re sitting down to share everything that happened — and most importantly, why travel insurance matters, even for cruises within your home country.

Join Deb and Matt as they recount their first day in Hobart, sharing unexpected moments from their **Hobart trip**. They reflect on their experiences and provide a behind-the-scenes look at their unexpected health scare onboard the Ovation of the Seas Cruise and their hospital emergency visit in **Hobart** that limited their **tasmania travel** adventure.

In this candid and emotional video, we explain:
⚠️ How the medical emergency unfolded
🚑 What happened in the ship’s Medical Centre
🏥 Our experience at Royal Hobart Hospital
💸 The real costs involved – both onboard and onshore
📑 The critical importance of travel insurance – even for a domestic cruise

🎥 This video is both a Day 3 recap and a wake-up call for anyone cruising without travel insurance.
We share our experience so that you don’t make the same mistake… or face the same risks.
