Know If You Should Buy Trip Cancellation Insurance for Your Cruise

People often ask, why do I need Trip Cancellation Insurance ? I don't PLAN to cancel. You said the ultimate words ... DON'T PLAN TO. That's just it, most of us don't PLAN to ! It's the unforeseen and the unexpected that can get in our way ! And Trip Cancellation insurance isn't all about cancelling ... It's about the unforeseen or unexpected WHILE CRUISING too !

Please know, not all Trip Cancellation insurance' s are created equal (That's a different EHOW topic !). Ask yourself the following to determine if you need Trip Cancellation Insurance:

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Can I afford to loose the monies I have invested ? If the cost is under $ 1000 a person, and this would be no real monies lost to you, then maybe you don't need insurance.

  2. Step 2

    Does my health insurance cover me and my family while traveling out of the country. In many cases, it does NOT ! Call your insurance provider.

  3. Step 3

    Do I know how much it can cost if my family or I had to be emergency evacutated of the ship ? I just heard of a situation of a cruiser who did not have the Trip Cancellation Insurance, and had to choose from $15,000 to Miami or $ 29,000 back home to New Jersey. You guessed it, he chose Miami.

  4. Step 4

    Select Trip Cancellation insurance cover WEATHER, in case you NEVER get to go. This is a great feature to have on a policy, expecially if you are cruising in the winter and your home town has snow ! ASK IF THIS FEATURE IS INCLUDED !

  5. Step 5

    Select Trip Cancellation insurance cover BANKRUPTCY OF A CARRIER. This is a great feature to have on your policy, especially if you plan to buy travel outside of your cruise and want to be covered. ASK IF THIS FEATURE IS INCLUDED !

  6. Step 6

    Select Trip Cancellation insurance allow you to add other travels you have purchased for an additional fee, such as flights, tours, etc ! ASK IF THIS FEATURE IS INCLUDED !

  7. Step 7

    And the latest feature on select Cancellation Insurance ... If you loose your job and must cancel ! ASK IF THIS FEATURE IS INCLUDED !

Tips & Warnings
  • What's a few dollars when you're protecting yourself, your family, and your vacation ? If you buy the insurance, then you can halt all worries before they begin, such as, if a family member has turned sick, just a couple days before your cruise, and you're now not sure if you'll get to go !
  • Be sure what your Trip Cancellation Insurance covers BEFORE PURCHASING !
