suzerich Posted April 30, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2005 When filling out the forms for boarding, it asks for insurer, telephone and policy number. Is this our cruise insurance or health insurance? It is not clear. Thanks for your help. Suze Rhapsody 5/8/05 NCL Sea May 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted April 30, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have no idea and haven´t heard a straight answer on here. My advice is always, as it´s not an required field just leave it blank. I do so as I also don´t know which insurance it is for and why they want to know. Maybe and that´s the only reason I could think about that they ask it´s for the people that booked travel insurance through the cruise line. Sorry I can´t help you any better.

Cruise Cat Posted April 30, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I would actually think it was for health insurance. Just like when you go to the emergency room. Most health insurance requires you to contact them within X number of hours in an emergency,, because they might have to approve/negotiate terms with an "out of network provider" and all that other stuff.

springtxbill Posted April 30, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just leave it blank. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki303 Posted April 30, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's for your travel insurance info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky_bertie Posted April 30, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I've just filled out ours online and also saw this - so put down our Travel Insurance which covers health, baggage, delays etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJR213 Posted April 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I believe it is for the Travel Insurance I like the others I haven't gotten a straight answer. The only problem with mine the Insurance # that is given to me does not fit in the space provided it is too long. So I just left the policy # info blank.

Guest nhrich Posted April 30, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just leave it blank. The cruise line isn't going to do the insurance paperwork, so why tell them. IMHO, they just put that to see how much business they're losing to third party travel insurance companies. Rich, ACC Carefree Vacations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted April 30, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have never filled in the space and no one has ever asked for the information when we have checked in at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearette Posted April 30, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2005 It is for the travel insurance, but if you are worried about it leave it blank and ask at embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worn out mailman Posted April 30, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just leave it blank. The cruise line isn't going to do the insurance paperwork, so why tell them. IMHO, they just put that to see how much business they're losing to third party travel insurance companies. Rich, ACC Carefree Vacations Rich (above) may be right because I booked my cruise through Royal's website and also bought my insurance from them. When I filled out my pre boarding stuff online, I don't recall seeing a question about insurance policy #'s etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzerich Posted May 1, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Thanks for all of your help with this. I wasn't sure what to do. I think I'll just write it in (health and travel) on the papers I take with me and leave with my family at home, so they will be easily accessible if needed.

MonaCK Posted May 1, 2005 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ah, that would explain why I didn't see that field either -- we got our insurance through RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachchick Posted May 1, 2005 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2005 RCI is not clear about this, but I think it is for travel insurance. In any case, if RCI is not your insurer, just leave it blank! We give away far too much information about ourselves just because someone asks for it. Bottom line is that if RCI isn't going to fill out the paperwork and pay the bills, it's none of their business.
