Carguylee Posted September 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So I am wondering, if your cruise line gives you the option to cancel and get a refund or cruise credit. Would you still be able to file a trip insurance claim? I'm sure it still depends on the policy but in general does anyone know? I couldn't find anything specific in my trip insurance documentation.

6rugrats Posted September 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2017 No. Insurance doesn't allow you to "double dip." If you are offered cancellation with a refund or credit, you have no loss. There's nothing to file a claim for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2017 First you need to check your policy to see what it covers and what it does not. For flights I would check with the insurance company. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't address flights as you only asked about the cruise line cancelling. I don't know what your policy covered. Some trip insurance will not refund your airfare when the cruise is cancelled, because you don't have a total loss. After paying a change fee, you still have an airfare credit. They may cover the change fee, but not refund you anything else because the change fee would be your only loss. You'll have to call your insurance company and see what coverage you have.

The way I've heard it relayed, if the flights still flew and you could still have taken the flights. I know that that puts in you in the position of having to make a vacation out of finding a hotel and waiting out a storm that closed a cruise port, but that's the way some insurance coverage is worded.
