If you follow the storage and handling procedure well then it shouldn't be a problem taking Forteo on the cruise ship. They will have refrigerators, etc. and would most definitely be equiped to carry patients medicines, which need refrigeration.

Storage and Handling

The Forteo delivery device should be stored under refrigeration at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F) at all times.
Recap the delivery device when not in use to protect the cartridge from physical damage and light.
During the use period, time out of the refrigerator should be minimized; the dose may be delivered immediately following removal from the refrigerator.
Do not freeze. Do not use Forteo if it has been frozen.
