It's for a cruise to bermuda, so probably a 5 night cruise, not sure. Thanks - I see it now. I think it gives a good point of reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a simple payment of $100+ can you save you several thousand in the long run, and might save your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give us a ballpark figure and help us to compare. Paid $2100 for a 1 week cruise to Bermuda, passengers are 62 and 54 residents of Vermont, insurance was $116 purchased within a week of booking from insuremytrip.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the current vaccines available has a 100% efficacy rate. NO vaccine has a 100% efficacy rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted August 21, 2021 #105 Share Posted August 21, 2021 One way to reduce the insurance cost is to not insure the cruise fare/trip cost. If I buy travel insurance for a trip and put in $0 trip cost, it runs about $35 (66 year old male). If I put in $500 trip cost, it goes up to about $50. More than $500 trip cost and the insurance price goes up a lot. I figure I have budgeted for the trip and paid for most of it. So if I miss it, I will be disappointed, but I will not be in dire financial straits. However, medical and med evac costs could run to the hundreds of thousands. And that would put me in a bind. Back in 2014 my mother had a medical issue on a cruise while in port in Halifax. Med evac to Washington DC area was $29,000. Plus hospital fees in Halifax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
