Cunard Care - Worth It?

[QuestionEverything]

Greetings everyone:

I have just booked my 3rd TA aboard the QM2 in June 2024! 

 

I note on the Booking Summary the inclusion of Cunard Care at CDN $216.78 pp.

I did not agree to include this but it there.

Q - is there any value to this Cunard Care?

I do not want to cancel it if you experts believe it is worth it.

I would appreciate your assessment.

Thanks so much.

@QuestionEverything thanks for posting this question. I have purchased it on all of our cruises and really know nothing about it. I look forward to the responses.

It is trip insurance.  You really should have trip insurance for a cruise.

 

Whether Cunard Care is better or worse than other trip insurance is not for me to say.  You need to do your own research and compare policies.

Check the credit card insurance offerings when you book your cruise. Some of the premium credit cards have trip cancellation insurance as part of their service. 
Call the credit card company to confirm everything, just don’t read the T&C’s.

One of the nice things about the Cunard forum is the way we help each other.

Yes, yes and yes. 
 

I had to cancel two trips.  Once due to a sudden accident and once to sudden illness of my travelling partner.  It covered the both of us.   It was an easy one page document that the Doctor signed.   In fact the Doctor was surprised at how easy the insurance document was.  Then i fiilled out a form online with the voyage number and booking reference, uploaded the document the Doctor signed and a cheque arrived within three weeks.  Very hassle free. 
 

Is Cunard Care expense.  Perhaps. Insurance is always expensive if you don’t need it.   Very cheap if you do need it.

We tried Cunard Care once. We accepted their quote but they called back shortly after to say they had quoted for the wrong cruise line and it would be twice as expensive as we were on a Cunard ship! We took the option to cancel at no cost and sort it ourselves. We are in the UK.

Is this only for crossings? or QM2?

 

when we booked our Med o0n QV a couple of months ago, they said we needed to get insurance that I can't remember but a minimum £££ covered.

When we asked if they did the insurance, they told us no and to go to (really bad memory and the booking is on my daughter's email) the company the recommend. We did, found it to be very good cover and very good price....
