Icon of
the Seas – Medical Center
The
Medical Center is the ship’s infirmary operated by resident doctors/physicians
and nurses on
24-hour
call duty. Opening hours are between 8 am and 8 pm. The infirmary is equipped
with
defibrillators,
external pacemakers, pulse oximeters, an ECG (electrocardiograph machine), and
thrombolytic
and lab equipment. Treatments at the ship hospital are equivalent to a private
doctor’s
visit. All treatments and medications are at an extra charge. The only
exception is Bonine
(seasickness
medication) also available at no charge at the ship’s Reception (24 hours).
Payments
are
made with your Royal Caribbean onboard account. General health insurance
policies do not
apply,
so buying cruise health insurance is recommended. It’s located on deck 3
forward.
