LS78 Posted January 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hey guys, We are off on out first ever cruise in Feb and was just wondering if anyone had recommendations on insurance companies? I checked out the insurance forum but seems very US based and not much on UK (Ive also asked on the P&O forum). I got a quote on the P&O company from the cruise personaliser but it was £220!!! Ive also gone onto Compare the Market and Holiday Extras do one for £28 which give £3k cancellation, £1500 baggage and looks pretty good. Most others are around the £68 mark. Some guys on the P&O said shop about and cheapest isnt always best but Ive looked at reviews and all insurance companies get bad ones :D Anyway any advice would be appreciated (PS we are both early 30's with no medical conditions) Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyBarlow Posted January 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Atlas direct have always been very good. I believe they are underwritten by AXA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&O use or did place the business with Fortis. No doubt it will be cheaper going direct on line Cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alynn Posted January 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Try direct travel insurance, we have used them for years and are very competitive, if you're going to the caribbean you'll need the worldwide policy. They are underwritten by AXA. You can get an online quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Brit Posted January 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Im hoping I wont need it but with all this snow Im not taking any chances Don't assume that travel insurance will cover for inability to travel due to adverse weather conditions. Some do if you were intending to use public transport, most don't if you were driving to the port/airport. And many don't if your flight is cancelled/delayed.

Mary That was actually one of the good things about Holiday Extras as it did say it covered weather - seems too good to be true though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted January 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've used Atlas Direct a lot. They have always been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSEBASKETS Posted January 5, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The AA quoted for an annual policy cheaper than they did for a fortnight and offered premium cover for under £100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
