helene109 Posted April 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Does everyone get it my pvp said $119 for both of us kids are $95 for both. I have until the 22nd to decide. I didn't get it on our 5 day 2 years ago but did on the 7 days the year before. We went to Disney last year and it was only $75 each adult! My 17 year old had to have his appendix removed as we were going to our second hotel and he wanted to go to urgent care, it was covered under trip interruption! The whole bill was paid except for our rental car. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene109 Posted April 25, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks I didn't even think of other opinions, I was a little dissapointed in Disney coverage but they went out of their way to even help us change hotels. What is the final date to purchase insurance from a 3rd party? How many use a 3rd party insurance thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted April 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2017 There are MUCH better plans than Carnival's. I usually get Nationwide Cruise Choice through InsureMyTrip. For my Celebrity Edge cruise I'm probably going through Travelinsured.com and their Worldwide Trip Protector plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted April 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If you travel a lot, it may be feasible to explore annual travel insurance, rather than a policy for each individual trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted April 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Insure my trip dot com is NOT a 3rd party insurance site. It is a comparison site for insurance companies that offer travel insurance. You go there and compare services and prices. Then you can buy directly from the insurance company you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenstomper Posted April 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We use Allianz trip insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherbear4000 Posted April 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I live near the port and I am not really concerned with trip cancellation coverage. I do always get a medical only travel insurance policy since my health insurance does not cover me out of the country. It is only like $30 total for my husband and I for the week.

LH25 Posted April 25, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We didn't used to do trip insurance, oddly my mom did for a non-cruise vacation last year and we did have to cancel because I was diagnosed with Cancer and had to have surgery and start treatments. So now, we always will. I did learn that because I now have a pre-existing condition, I usually have to get it when I book the trip, there is a time limit. Or so my last TA told us.

helene109 Posted April 25, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted April 25, 2017 How do you get medical only? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzlechest Posted April 25, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Some credit cards have trip insurance (usually not medical insurance) for free. I have a Citi Double Cash that has this benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitzmark Posted April 25, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 25, 2017 How do you get medical only? Sent from my iPhone using Forums look at all the policies at insuremytrip, as someone else pointed out they are a comparison site for various companies and various policies. Some cover everything, others are more limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Look on the Insurance board. Lots of info over there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeezerCouple Posted April 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Many of us here use Steve and his colleagues at www.TripInsuranceStore.com who sell policies from a variety of vetted insurers. (No extra charge.) We learned about them here, and it was a good thing. For our first big trip, we got the insurance, and... DH had a medical emergency less than 2 weeks to go. We had another large claim when we needed to extend a stay overseas for several days due to my getting sick and ending up in hospital. We use the Travel Insured policy we get through Steve, and will stick with them, because we know they pay without nonsense, and that's what counts...

helene109 Posted April 26, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yes thanks so much my Citibank card does offer it but it looks I have to make my final payment with it! Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene109 Posted April 26, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So thrilled my final payment is going to drop by over $400 So thankful for this site!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted April 30, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 30, 2017 We use TravelInsured. When we've traveled with the kids, if they were under 18, they were included free at the time. Now, at 21 and 23, they are still very inexpensive to insure. We can insure medical only for under $20 per child. If we want to insure the entire cruise and all out of pocket costs it is more.

lbjen Posted May 26, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 26, 2017 We use Nationwide too, the cost is around $200 for our family of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
