cwayne Posted February 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We have just booked our first b2b cruise. Is it better to insure each cruise separately or the b2b as a whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted February 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It's better to insure the entire trip as 1 entity. From the time you walk out the door until the time you walk back into the front door. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only thinking that if for some reason we couldn't make 1 leg of the trip but could make the other half that insuring them separately might be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially it's two cruises but ONE TRIP. I don't know why they think annual trip insurance is even relevant to this discussion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMT seems to be having some, uh, difficulty with just about all of the questions. Wait, no. The questions are fine. It's the non-answers that are the problem. It's *incredibly* odd, given this presumably is supposed to be a time for them to gather a nice collection of eyes and encourage their owners to buy their travel insurance through IMT. I would have expected amazing responsiveness here, to make the most of this opportunity. Strange. One way I try to vet potential new business entities is to see how they respond. My thinking has always been that if they aren't really wonderful while they are initially trying to *sell* to you, what's the chance that they will be very responsive and helpful if there are problems later...?

GC DITTO!! Thanks for this post. I was beginning to think it was just me. An entire forum section devoted to showcasing them and their answers are, uhm, well they are NOT answers.

GC gc and others, might this be a Chat Bot as a few of the responses appear to be "canned" as it were with no change in syntax or approach....??? Just my thoughts based on what, little, I have read on this Special Forum.

Please post it again, just the same question, on the regular Travel Insurance section of CruiseCritic, the one that isn't sort of dedicated to this one vendor, IMT. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/499-cruisetravel-insurance/ Thanks.
