per cabin, 14 day Collector on the Koningsdam Jan 08, 2017

Oosterdam, January 18, 11 days, Southern Caribbean

I fully understand and my late DH and I always self-insured but for medical care outside the country. We never insured the price of the trip.

 

You have now posted to a public internet forum that you suspect there is a chance one in your party may already be suffering a debilitating illness which may prevent her from traveling but you have not yet purchased insurance. Are you sure she is now insurable seeing research by insurance companies is so simple and maybe a claim could be denied? I am no lawyer nor insurance agent but you are looking to buy insurance for something that may no longer be coverable. I could be totally wrong and have no idea what I am talking about. I do know that were I worried about a $5,400 cabin fare, I would pay the $456 to cover the risk if I felt there was a genuine chance cancellation may be necessary.

 

Good luck and all best wishes. This is a horrid disease and I hope you are able to get good care for her and she does well.

 

You should Google Travel Insurance. You can buy all levels of coverage through brokers from cheap to extravagant.

We managed to book without having to have the Explore4 package. It wasn't easy, but it can be done.

I had already booked, but was going to add it until I saw the price increase. I've had it at no charge in the past. FYI...Costco posts prices with and without the package at present.

I was excited to see the Explore 4 promo available on Jan 2017 Koningsdam runs. Then I saw I'd have to pay $1320 for the deal! Some promo!
