| It is strongly recommended that you obtain travel
insurance
on any cruise. While it is likely that on a trip of such a short
duration, in good weather, in good health, with only two bags, you will
not need insurance, this is coverage for the unexpected
problem.
Coverage may be for any or all of these:
- Flight delay or missed connection (for expenses that are
incurred to
join
the trip and/or return home)
- Trip cancellation or interruption (non-refundable published
penalties
and
expenses when you are prevented from taking or completing a trip)
- Itinerary changes (such as bad weather)
- Baggage loss or misplacement
- Medical
- Accidents to or from, onboard or in port
- Evacuation due to severe illness/injury
- Costs of a family member to accompany the injured person
- Hospitalization
- Pre-existing conditions (read the waiver carefully)
- Cancellation
- by you for any reason
- by the Line for a variety of reasons
- by Bankruptcy (theirs, not yours)
- AD&D
Determine your needs and review the policies (you may take all or only
parts of the package). The premiums are largely determined by the
age of the oldest traveller, and the length and cost of the cruise (the
average being about 6%). This coverage must usually be purchased
within 7 to 14 days from the time of your down payment, and can be
obtained
from the cruise line, your travel agent, or online.
