My research focus is centered on the design of novel strategies to improve patients suffering from thrombotic disorders. My three areas of interest are in the utility of inhibitors of the contact activation pathway of blood coagulation to prevent medical device-related thrombosis, the prevention of blood clotting in patients with sepsis, and the resolution and prevention of post thrombotic syndrome.

PORTS OF CALL

Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida

Let's be direct: Port Canaveral itself is a working port, not a destination you explore on foot. Its true value is as a gateway to some of Central Florida’s most iconic, and distinctly different, attractions. The decision you make here will define your day.

The most compelling and convenient choice is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, located just minutes away. This is not a simple museum; it's a world-class tribute to human ingenuity. Standing beneath the colossal Saturn V rocket, the most powerful ever built, is a genuinely humbling experience. The Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit is equally profound, offering an up-close look at the legendary orbiter. For anyone with even a passing interest in science or history, this is an essential, full-day experience that is unique to this specific port.

Of course, Orlando's theme parks loom large, about a 45- to 60-minute drive inland. A day trip is certainly feasible, but it requires precise planning. You’ll need to choose one park—be it a dive into the magic of Disney or the thrills of Universal—and accept that you'll be on a tight schedule. It’s a fantastic option if a specific park is a must-do, but be prepared for a long, high-energy day with significant travel time.

For a more relaxed alternative, embrace the local 'Space Coast' culture. Nearby Cocoa Beach offers a classic Florida beach town vibe, complete with the iconic Ron Jon Surf Shop. For nature lovers, a guided kayak tour through the Banana River or Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge can reveal manatees and diverse birdlife, offering a peaceful counterpoint to the region's high-tech attractions.

Coco Cay, Bahamas

Let's be clear: Coco Cay is not a port for cultural immersion; it's a private island meticulously engineered for a perfect day of sun and fun. Think of it as a high-end water park and beach club rolled into one, accessible right off the ship. The island is divided into distinct zones, from the high-energy Thrill Waterpark with its impressive slides to the sprawling Oasis Lagoon, one of the largest freshwater pools in the Caribbean.

For those seeking relaxation, several white-sand beaches offer a classic tropical escape. If you're looking for a more exclusive, serene experience, the Coco Beach Club provides a quieter atmosphere with an infinity pool and overwater cabanas, available for an additional fee. While you won't find local markets or historical sites here, Coco Cay delivers exactly what it promises: a seamless, high-quality day of resort-style leisure and aquatic adventure.

At Sea - Cruising

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

Charlotte Amalie is one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic and bustling ports, a place where vibrant commerce and stunning natural beauty exist side-by-side. While its reputation as a duty-free shopping mecca is well-earned, the true charm lies in knowing how to navigate its offerings.

The historic downtown is a compact grid of Danish colonial architecture, where 18th-century stone warehouses now house an extensive array of jewelry, liquor, and electronic stores. For a genuine sense of the old city, step away from the main thoroughfares and explore the quiet stone-paved alleys. A worthwhile challenge is the climb up the historic “99 Steps” (actually 103) for rewarding views over the harbor.

For many, the highlight of St. Thomas is escaping the city bustle. The Skyride to Paradise Point offers the definitive panoramic photograph of your ship in the turquoise harbor—it’s a tourist staple for good reason. Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. Magens Bay is the island’s most famous stretch of sand; it’s undeniably beautiful, but expect crowds and an entrance fee. For a different experience, consider Sapphire Beach for its excellent snorkeling right offshore or the more tranquil Lindquist Beach, a protected part of a nature park.

Practical Tip: Getting around is typically done via open-air “safari” taxis. These are multi-passenger trucks that operate on set routes with fixed, per-person fares. Confirm the price to your destination with the driver before you depart to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day exploring the island.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

St. Maarten offers one of the most distinct experiences in the Caribbean: the chance to visit two countries in a single day. Your ship docks in Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side (Sint Maarten), a bustling hub of activity. The town itself is built along a beautiful arc of sand, Great Bay Beach, with a lively boardwalk perfect for a stroll. This is the commercial heart of the island, known for its extensive duty-free shopping, particularly for jewelry, electronics, and local spirits like the iconic Guavaberry Liqueur.

For a complete change of pace, a short taxi ride transports you to the French side (Saint-Martin). Here, the atmosphere shifts to something more akin to the French Riviera. The capital, Marigot, offers a more relaxed vibe with chic boutiques, open-air markets, and charming bistros serving fresh croissants and coffee. For the food-focused traveler, a visit to Grand Case is essential; it’s widely regarded as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, with an impressive collection of world-class restaurants.

Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. While there are dozens to choose from, Maho Beach is a spectacle you won’t forget. It’s not a place for quiet relaxation, but for the unique thrill of watching massive jets land just feet above your head. For a more classic Caribbean beach day, Orient Bay on the French side offers a wide expanse of white sand and turquoise water. St. Maarten’s appeal lies in this choice—you can curate your day to be as high-energy or as relaxed as you wish.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen

To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).
