Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Conservative management of a sprain along with chip fracture in the form of a cast boot is sufficient to promote the healing process. Since 4 weeks has already elapsed, there is nothing much to worry about the situation.
You can happily enjoy the cruise and even fly. Good day
