cruise insurance

can cruise insurance be added on to reservation thru Carnival after deposit is made?

[nwcruiselover]

Yes, you can add the insurance anytime before final payment date.

why are you buying from Carnival? Carnival only sells and make a commission. They don't help if it comes to making a claim.

 

Yes, you can by the way.

Carnival insurance, where you pay more for less coverage.

You're telling me I felt like such a fool after I saw how much I paid for Carnival's insurance vs. what I could have paid through my travel agent for the same coverage. I won't make that mistake again.

See post #4. There is also another board here for insurance questions.

Check out the Cruise/Travel insurance forum here on CC.  Excellent information available.  Here is the link for you.

As a general rule, I don't buy from Carnival but you CAN buy later than final payment date if you want to. I bought from Carnival last fall the week before we sailed.

Keep in mind that Carnival allows you to cancel for any reason and still receive 75% back as FCC.   If that matters to you, then read the alternate policy websites carefully to see if they have that included in a policy.

I really agree except I think they (insurance cos.) charge a disproportionately high amount to people over 70.  The cruise is charge a flat rate per person.  I am taking family after Xmas and I may book mine thru Carnival and use InsureMyTrip for the rest.
