Rare asnaleah Posted August 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We purchased trip insurance through Steve@tripinsurancestore. From his recommendations we selected a Travel Guard (part of AIG) policy. Unfortunately, I had the opportunity to check out the claim process and customer service due to contracting Covid somewhere in Spain. I’m happy to report a full resolution to the missed cruise days! The process took almost seven weeks from claim submittal to check received, but as I understand it, the companies are inundated with claims, so I’m very pleased with the timing. Not so happily, my claim for missed private excursions in Bordeaux was not covered, but I submitted a claim with the credit card insurance company, so we shall see. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the cost of the private excursions included in your overall/total trip cost to determine the premium amount due to cover all of your nonrefundable & prepaid expenses?

Rare asnaleah Posted August 21, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2022 @Kwaj girl, no it wasn’t. I didn’t even pay for it until after passing the Covid test to board the ship. We had a B2B, and these tours were for the second leg. I’m hopeful the credit card insurance will cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted August 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Second both Steve and Travelguard. We got our money back from a defunct Crystal cruise due to bankruptcy. Also about 7 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted August 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Was it for a period in which you were quarantined on the ship, or for other expenses/losses associated with having covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare asnaleah Posted August 22, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It was for the 6 days I was in isolation. There were no other expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the doctor bill from cruise? Cruise medical bills are usually huge from our experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you take the Covid antiviral medication, medical care and Covid testing are complimentary. Dave Edited August 22, 2022 by DaveFr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare asnaleah Posted August 23, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Yes, @DaveFr is correct. Early June, there was no Paxlovid on board, and all the other attention from the medical team was complementary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
