@Tazza_0712 Below from the Australian Governments own web-site. Agree insurance is the way to go, but a blanket "not covered" is incorrect.

I am not a cruiser but have some experience with Medicare and our health system in general @Bindibuys
My concern would be a last minute staff change (for whatever reason) and though informed that a Medicare-accessible doctor would be on board, they are not.

Note: I am a known catastrophiser

Oh, I agree that travel insurance is a must.
I don't agree with being told that there is NO medicare on cruises. There is, but it is up to you to find out from the cruise line.

Let me rephrase.

In the past Princess Cruises has stated that there is no Medicare onboard even in Australian waters.
