Default Insurance

Check out the insurance page on my website. I have a PDF file that
compares companies. It is outdated a bit but I'll be updating it soon as
our next cruise is next July. But you can use it to compare on your own.
Just go to each companies website and do the research. It is important
and there are differences. For example, many years ago we were afraid
one of us would get laid off. Some companies allow that as a reason to
cancel.

By the way, good health doesn't mean you won't have to cancel. I hurt my
back lifting Christmas decorations a week before one cruise. I was in
terrible pain for days and we couldn't make the trip. Thanks to trip
cancellation insurance we didn't lose anything.

We never bothered with insurance as all our past cruises (22) have been
in the caribbean and we have been in good health. However we booked a
transatlantic for next April and decided to take the insurance that was
offered. Now I realize I don't really know what this covers and I will
check with our travel agent. He explained it to me but I wasn't paying
a lot of attention at the time. We are now going to book another long
and expensive cruise starting in Barcelona and will be taking out
insurance. Where do you experienced cruisers go for your insurance? We
are (thankfully) still in good health but at 67 & 74 anything could
happen. So we would want medical and trip cancellation/return home.
Where do I start or do I just go along with the travel agents advice?
