Confessing to being sick just as you check in - just wondering

[get me outta here]

Would anyone - pax or doctors have any experience with this, I am just wondering. I have seen the form at check in that asks the. 'are you sick' Q.

What happens to those people who maybe 'fess up to say a 'gastro' attack, what is the process? Is there a doctor standing by / do they say sorry you can't get on / do they issue a credit note, or what?

from those airline/airway type shows I recall seeing people being taken to see the airport doctor for a clearance certificate before the airline would let them board. specific policy around what happened to people who got denied medical clearance would come down to how 'generous' the particular airline is, imagine in most cases they would charge a rebooking fee/fare difference as a minimum with the expectation it would be covered by insurance.

When you say airline, do you mean cruise ship?
