I received a call from the medical clinic and spoke with doctor. They also rushed to the next port and evacuated to an ICU in Cozumel. I don't know if it was just NCL or other cruise lines- but understood if he had died on the ship there was a million dollar life insurance policy. Being in the medical profession I could see using life support until disembarkation to avoid this at all cost. After going through this ordeal I will never leave without trip insurance! It paid the $21,000 medivac transport back to the states. Unfortunately my father died 10 days later from pneumonia. My father went into respiratory failure while on a NCL cruise.
