    I'm not aware of a medical excuse for getting a complimentary internet plan. Surely there is a non-internet based means of monitoring your son's blood sugar?

    Yes, but it involves painfully pricking fingers repeatedly. And much more often than normal, with swimming and the excitement of a cruise. (As you can imagine,  these areas become more tender. And over, even a short time, can develop the need to prick deeper to reach a blood sample.) Internet sends the readings to his phone,  which enables transmission to a parent's phone, allowing the parent to make adjustments in insulin,  food, activity, etc. Honestly, in my opinion,  it's like charging someone for the electric to plug in an oxygen machine or even a cpap.
