rajkr74 Posted February 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Instead of bringing your own blood pressure cuff on board, has anyone ever used the ship's medical facility to check one's blood pressure 3-4 times during a 23 day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailinglisa Posted February 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2011 No, and if I did do it, I would expect to be charged for the service. Why not get one of those little wrist blood pressure monitors and take it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted February 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2011 After you see what they will probably charge you to take your blood pressure, I suspect that it will be way elevated. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2011 take your own blood pressure equipment -- the infirmerary is open limited hours some ships do have a blood pressure machine on them -- like the ones in the drug stores -- some are located in the gym -- a couple we found located in a hallway down on the lower promenade deck -- they are rarely accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I agree with those who suggest you bring one of the small drug store models. Most are pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggal Posted February 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2011 On the Eurodam: I was having a problem with my medications because of being sea sick. I went to the infirmary once to got some meclazine but the next day I felt as though my blood pressure was high. I went back to the infirmary and the nurse on duty was happy to do check my pressure and there was no charge for either visit. I don't know what they would do if you went more than that. If its important to you, why don't you call Ships Services and ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janewass Posted February 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Instead of bringing your own blood pressure cuff on board, has anyone ever used the ship's medical facility to check one's blood pressure 3-4 times during a 23 day cruise? We were just on the Rotterdam and there was a blood pressure monitor in the gym that everyone was able to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
