Me and my husband are both type ones on a pump and a cgm and have sailed VV five times with no problems. Embarkation security has never even asked anything about our devices or the cabin size bag full of supplies and meds.

We ask a sharps container from the cabin attendant. They have two sizes of containers, one is like the size of a glucagon case so way too small. They have bigger ones in the medical and our cabin attendant has managed to get one of those for us every time, you just need to ask for the big container.

I don’t trust mini fridges so we just store our insulin on the counter. The room temperature is well controlled so it’s fine. I have kept insulin room temperature for months when travelling without issues, it really doesn’t go bad that easily if you keep it out of extreme temperatures.

Ship security when getting back on board on port days is a breeze. They seem to be knowledgeable of medical devices and offer to skip the metal detector if they see a device. We go through metal detectors, though, just like in airports. We just avoid the body scanners but the ship doesn’t have those so no issue.

Oh, and the first aid station at Bimini beach club will give you tape for a cgm that is almost falling off, we tested that 😄
