How to keep your trip insurance costs down :: Your cruise line might offer limited insurance options or offer a plan that makes the best income for them. But, may not be right for you. The going rate for insurance is 4 to 10 percent of your prepaid, nonrefundable expenses for the cruise itself. Other components of your trip like pre-or-post cruise hotels, or airfare may not be covered. Shop around, review policies from an independent provider. Compare their Prices and Coverage with the offer from the cruise line and be sure read to all the fine print before you decide to book your trip insurance.

Kicked Off A Cruise for Getting Sick

A true story that is a good example of why you should have Travel Insurance that waives any pre-existing conditions.

 

Scenerio:  Shortly before her cruise to Mexico sets sail, a passenger and her family are ushered off the ship. The reason?  She's experiencing sharp kidney pains. They visited the doctor on board. The diagnosis: kidney infection.  Within minutes they were escorted off the ship. Now she wants a refund. Should she get  it?

 

Under its ticket contract, the legal agreement between you and the cruise line, it could deny you boarding and refuse to offer you a refund on your cruise fare. But, what if the passenger purchased insurance.  Did you know? If you were offered insurance from the cruise line, chances are they would not cover pre-existing conditions.  In this case, the insurance company might have ruled that a kidney infection was a pre-existing condition and denied the claim.

Why choose travel insurance for your Cruise?

  • Your wife becomes seriously ill while onboard the ship and you need immediate medical attention at a hospital. Who can get you evacuated off the ship and to the hospital in time?

  • It's now 10 p.m. and the flight that was supposed to take you to your port of embarkation has been delayed for hours. Who can assist you with finding a new flight to catch up with your cruise?

  • Your cruise has just disembarked when you suddenly realize your insulin bag is nowhere to be found. You need help to have an emergency prescription filled, along with help finding your lost bag. Who do you call?

  • You arrive at the airport after having disembarked off your cruise of a lifetime when you realize your passport and wallet are nowhere to be found. Where do you turn for emergency cash, and how will you get your passport replaced?

  • You arrive in Paris where you will embark on your cruise. Unfortunately, you luggage is nowhere to be found. Who will help you find it? If it's delayed, who will pay for your necessities? If it's stolen, who will pay to replace it?

  • While exploring local shops in Shanghai, you trip and hear a cracking noise in your ankle. Who can help you find a physician to have it examined? Who will cover the expense?
