Geckophoto Posted September 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2009 OK, I have 6 more days since I just paid my cruise in full for a NOV. trip and thinking about getting the insurance. Do you have to buy thru the people you book with, NOT carnival...or can I go with carnival or find someone else on my own to provide it? Just wondering..and thinking about getting it...

TakeMeAway1001 Posted September 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2009 How come you only have 6 more days to buy insurance :confused: You can get insurance through anyone you choose, definitely shop around. I have used AAA for our cruise in Oct and got a really good price, good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recyclelady Posted September 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just realize that at this point, if you buy insurance, it will probably not cover any pre-existing conditions for you, your travel mates, or even family left at home (i.e. ailing grandparents, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmitty308 Posted September 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2009 tripinsurancestore dot com has some very pleasant people to deal with. I have used them 3 cruises in a row. Smitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cespo Posted September 2, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I leave in 4 days and just got my insurance with insure my trip dot com I spoke with them directly, did not have to worry about any preexisting conditions, but with the whole swine flu hitting pretty hard here in Florida and leaving 2 teenagers home with grandparents, I decided last minute to get it just in case some one got sick and the cost for the 2 of us was very reasonable. Good luck on your search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelkisses Posted September 2, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Access America has a plan where you can actually get pre-existing coverage if you purchase anytime up to final payment date of cruise. Rates are 6% of price of trip which is really good. I'm not sure if you must go thru a certain travel agency to purchase that particular policy or not. I do know that you can purchase your insurance at a different place than where you purchase your cruise. I always buy insurance for the medical evacuation benefit. If for any reason anyone in my family had to be air lifted from ship I don't want to loose my life savings too. Small price to pay for peace of mind. Hopefully I will never have to use it. Everyone who books Early Saver should also seriously consider purchasing insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted September 2, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2009 My wife and I have luckily haven't needed it yet on any of our cruise. We have always book with our AAA office and the best TA ever. They use Berkley Ins. and as I said we have used it, but I have had to call them twice about if a problem could be taken care of. Both times I have talked to them they were always very friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anybody looking for travel Ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
