travel insurance

[obnurse62]

I havent purchased travel insurance yet and want to know any thoughts on is it as good if purchased on internet vs travel agent? aTH e difference in price is amazing! Also, is any one company better than another?

Hi, there! Can you give us a little more information about your ship, dates of sailing, any pre-existing medical problems, and what kind of insurance your TA recommended? We always get Travelguard, and it's the same price whether we get it through our TA or on-line, or by phone.

I've used Travelguard as well. They were great when we ended up with 2 small children with raging ear infections in the middle of the night, in a state not covered by my HMO (obviously the underwriters have never been w/1 let alone 2 kids w/ear infections otherwise they WOULD classify it as a covered life threatening circumstance). Travelguard covered a medical service that sent a doctor to our hotel room as well as the resulting perscriptions.

i agree with the above, we also use travelguard and filed on an eye infection that happened while cruising. fast, effecient and friendly service, both before and after purchasing the policy.we wouldn't think of cruising without purchasing insurance.
