Administrators ACruiseGuy Posted January 24, 2022 Administrators #1 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hello Steve. Thank you for being here. Want to take the cruise plunge, but unsure of how to plan -- insurance wise -- if something happens due to covid. Prime example: not being let on the ship and having to pay for extra costs such as hotel/food/transportation charges in the embarkation port. Will insurance cover that? In the US? How about outside the US? Thanks! ACG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACG Hi ACG, I've covered some of what you are asking on my Blog in these posts: https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/are-quarantine-costs-covered-if-i-test-positive-for-covid/ https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/this-little-known-benefit-is-important/ https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/does-a-trip-cancellation-plan-cover-a-last-minute-positive-covid-test/ https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/more-about-what-is-covered-for-covid/ https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/how-is-a-positive-covid-test-at-the-cruise-terminal-covered/ https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/does-a-licensed-nurse-definition-of-a-physician/ Some Trip Cancellation companies have gotten more flexible by allowing the doctor's visit to be done via TeleMed or by a video conference, but I can't stress enough how important it is that you see a doctor. And, that you are not related to the doctor: https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/why-must-you-see-a-non-family-member-doctor/ While's it's possible a Trip Cancellation company would accept a licensed nurse or a nurse practitioner's advice, all the policies I know clearly state you have to see a licensed physician.
