PROGRAM TOPICS

PRACTICAL NEUROLOGY: AN UPDATE AND REFRESHER FOR THE GENERALIST

This course will provide a working knowledge of the most common neurological problems and reinforce principles of clinical diagnosis while reviewing the symptoms and signs of most major neurological diseases. The seminar will also present clear, practical guidelines for managing these common problems including how to integrate laboratory tests and imaging techniques into the patient's evaluation. Finally, the current treatment for these disorders will be developed in sufficient detail to permit independent management or active participation in care with the neurologist.

Emphasis will be placed on clinical diagnosis and practical treatment with introduction of clinical neuroscience as needed to clarify management issues.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: recognize the symptoms and signs of the most common neurological diseases; apply fundamental disease concepts to patient management; educate their patients regarding the basic concepts and natural history of these diseases and participate with their patients and consulting neurologists in decisions regarding modern disease therapy and prevention.

This seminar will be relevant to family practitioners, internists, neurologists and others who manage patients with neurological disorders.

Ports of Call

Miami, Florida

Miami, United States
Miami is frequently viewed merely as a logistical gateway, but to treat it solely as a transit point is a miscalculation. This is a complex metropolis that functions more like a capital of Latin America than a typical American city, offering a distinct intersection of culture, design, and history that rewards a dedicated day of exploration.

South Beach remains the headline attraction, but we advise looking past the tourist-heavy sands to focus on the Art Deco Historic District. This is a legitimate architectural treasure; a morning walk along Ocean Drive reveals the world's highest concentration of 1930s and '40s resort architecture. It is best experienced early in the day, before the crowds and heat peak, perhaps with a coffee at the News Cafe.

For a shift from pastel nostalgia to modern grit, the Wynwood Arts District is essential. Once an industrial warehouse zone, it has evolved into one of the world’s most significant open-air art installations. The Wynwood Walls are the curated center, but the surrounding blocks offer museum-quality murals and a dense collection of independent galleries and breweries that feel entirely authentic.

To understand the city's demographic heartbeat, visit Little Havana. While parts of Calle Ocho cater to tourists, the neighborhood retains its soul. Watch the intense domino games at Máximo Gómez Park, or visit a *ventanita* (walk-up window) for a *cortadito* and a guava pastry. It is an unpretentious, sensory-rich experience.

If you prefer European elegance to urban energy, the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens offers a stunning Italian Renaissance-style villa on Biscayne Bay. It provides a serene, historical counterpoint to the modern city. Note that Miami is geographically spread out and traffic can be heavy; these neighborhoods are distinct and best accessed via ride-share services rather than attempting to combine too many in a single short visit.

At Sea - Cruising

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

A long stretch of white sand at Great Bay Beach in Philipsburg. Turquoise waters and beachfront hotels sit beneath rolling green hills, just a short walk from the St. Maarten cruise pier.
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (the Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.

Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.
Aerial view of Little Bay Beach in St. Maarten, featuring upscale seaside resorts and white sands. The calm, azure water and verdant mountains create a picturesque tropical shore excursion.


To experience the island's true charm, cross the border to the French side (St. Martin). The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in the capital of Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.

Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices:
  • Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead at Princess Juliana International Airport—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique.
  • For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.
A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to the Philipsburg cruise terminal.
Wide aerial view of Philipsburg, St. Maarten, showing the colorful town nestled between the deep blue Atlantic and a bright turquoise bay, surrounded by lush green hills and the cruise port. Aerial top-down view of a red kayak gliding through crystal-clear turquoise water in St. Maarten. The vibrant, translucent sea reveals rocky reefs below, perfect for a tranquil eco-adventure. A golden sunset over a peaceful bay in St. Maarten, filled with sailboats and catamarans. Lush tropical gardens and a seaside resort frame the shimmering Caribbean waters at dusk.

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

View of the colorful rooftops of Charlotte Amalie framed by vibrant red bougainvillea flowers at sunset. The rolling green hills and golden hour light showcase the tropical charm of the St. Thomas capital.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.
A dramatic, glowing pink sunset cloud towers over the islands of Charlotte Amalie harbor at dusk. The vibrant colors of the sky reflect off the calm Caribbean waters as the town begins to light up.


Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.

Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.

The sprawling landscape and distant islands highlight the strategic beauty of the USVI.

This 17th-century Danish fortress is a central landmark for cruise passengers exploring the capital’s colonial history.

CocoCay, Bahamas

Waterfront cabanas
Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private Bahamian island, engineered entirely for high-quality leisure. The destination is smartly zoned by energy level, allowing you to dial in exactly the type of beach day you want.

For adrenaline seekers, the upcharge Thrill Waterpark houses North America's tallest waterslide, Daredevil's Peak, alongside massive wave pools. If you want a lively, complimentary resort-pool atmosphere, head to Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean's largest freshwater pool, complete with a swim-up bar and DJ.
Hammock on the beach


If you prefer a traditional beach day without additional fees, Chill Island and South Beach provide ample loungers, umbrellas, and calm, clear waters. Complimentary dining is available throughout the island at venues like Skipper's Grill and the Chill Grill.

For a more sophisticated experience away from the crowds, two premium upcharge areas stand out. The Coco Beach Club offers an oceanfront infinity pool, elevated dining, and the Bahamas' first overwater cabanas. Alternatively, Hideaway Beach is an adults-only (18+) zone featuring a private cove, heated pool, and dedicated dining venues like Slice of Paradise.

The island features a deep-water pier, meaning no tender boats are required—you can walk right off the ship. Shipboard Wi-Fi and beverage packages seamlessly extend to the island, making logistics effortless.

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
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. 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).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
