Both my wife and I tested positive for COVID 19 on a recent HAL cruise on the Nieuw Ststendam. We are both in our mid eighties and the ship doctor prescribed Paxlovid treatment for us, We were charged $750 each for the 30 pill course of treatment. My personal doctor back home actually gave us a scrip for Paxlovid before we left for the cruise but I couldn't get any of the local pharmacies to fill it because we were not positive for covid at that time. Would have been only a $10 copay with our insurance. HAL is strictly cash up front and then you have to try to get reimbursed somehow. Sounds like HAL is price gouging sick clients.
