majortom10 Posted February 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Nobody can give a definitive answer because I have no doubt that every insurance company will charge different. The only way you will find out is to ask insurance company price without cover and price with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if he/she has had insurance before, He/she has sailed sailed on all P&O all Cunard and some of Princess. 20 cruises in all, so yes he should!

Insurance for water sport activities! Read the question! If he has never done water sports before he wouldn’t have read the small print for water sport insurance. No need to be so rude to him, he’s entitled to ask a question that he doesn’t know the answer too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kevboy Posted February 3, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thank you for your replies. Particularly grateful to Joeecco for being so chivalrous on my behalf. I am a pensioner in my eighties and have never taken out water activity cover before because I didnt need it. I was past swimming when I started cruising. I ask because I am taking my whole family on a cruise and my grandchildren might need to be covered. And to Mercury 7289 you were being rude and most definately not stating the obvious. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re most welcome. I knew exactly what you meant, and so did everyone else who actually read your entire post I’m sure. I’ll be interested to hear what the insurance companies say to you regarding this. We have never done water sports as of yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted February 3, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I think you need to look at each policy offered in detail. IMHO, most cover you for "standard" activities like swimming, pedalos, charted sailing cruise etc. Where you need to be vigilant is if your grand children want to go jet skiing, scuba diving etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombatar Posted February 3, 2021 #20 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Travel insurance policies just get weirder. Just renewed ours with our bank and looking at it to see what we are covered for I see that we cannot do Zip lining but we are covered for Bungee jumping!!

Peter and Jenny Devil is always in the detail, I think the OP needs to talk to the family research tours and decide what cover they think they need before discussing it with their insurance company. Everyone thinks they have great insurance till they need to make a claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted February 3, 2021 #22 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Never gave it a thought when we jet skied in the Caribbean. We obviously had to sign a waiver and sit through a 20 minute safety video. Then we were off a full pelt sticking to the leader's hand signals of course! Getting airborne at every possible opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter and Jenny I would seriously consider changing my insurance company if it thought that bunjee jumping was safer than zip lining. I might be tempted to zip line, but there is no way I would ever consider bunjee jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
