Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. So if I live in Alberta, I can get Platinum Insurance on my Alaska cruise leaving from Vancouver or Ft Lauderdale, but as a BC resident, I can't. I don't think that it has anything to do with the ports. We usually get Platinum Insurance when we travel a long distance, flight involved, cruise is months out, etc. We used our insurance when we had to cancel our big trip 3 days before they shut down everything because of covid. My travel medical and cancelation insurance for federal employees is administered out of Ontario, I wonder if that is going to be affected. This has something to do with both the BC and Quebec gov't policies or rules.
  2. We are on a 94 day cruise around Australia and New Zealand so we are checking this out all paid up and tours booked. Cruise season for Australia is Oct to Apr, so I was just wondering. The ships that faced biofouling issues were: Queen Elizabeth, Azamara Quest, Coral Princess, Viking Orion, Regent's Seven Seas Explorer, Silversea's Silver Whisper, P&O Australia's Pacific Explorer and Ponant's Le Laperouse https://www.travelweekly.com.au/article/biofouling-the-issue-plaguing-new-zealands-cruise-industry-this-season/#:~:text=The ships that faced biofouling,Explorer and Ponant's Le Laperouse. Third Australian cruise in weeks turns into 'nightmare' after fungus outbreak prevents entry into New Zealand
  3. This happened in Jan 2023, that's not old. The requirement come into affect June 2022. https://www.amsa.gov.au/about/regulations-and-standards/112022-biofouling-and-water-cleaning https://maritime-executive.com/article/new-zealand-australia-delay-cruise-ship-over-biofouling
  4. We are on the Volendam in Jan 2024 so I am wondering the same thing for Australia and new Zealand. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/australia-cruise-ship-fungus-intl-hnk/index.html
  5. My husband and I are booked on a world cruise and are now investigating Canadian Medical Travel Insurance. We have cancellation insurance but are looking for travel medical for around 96 days. Most insurance companies do not insure for that many days. What company have you used for a long cruise and are happy with them?
