I noticed only a slight increase in premium when compared to our last cruise a few years ago. But one thing that really jumps the rate is when you cross over into the next age bracket... like 50 or 70.

But the price of the cruises have gone bonkers so more $$$$$ for cruise more the insurance.

When buying TI some of the companies mentioned will tell you whether the medical coverage is secondary or primary. BUY PRIMARY, to keep from jumping many potential hoop to get your money back, especially if on Medicare and the Medicare supplement.

Directlinecruises gives free basic insurance and the upgrade to premium was only $39 each for us.

Many thanks, I did pass an age barrier, but the websites will be especially helpful. Cruise Critic comes through again:)

I shopped bout a dozen different companies and found globalalerttravel.com to be the best coverage and price for our needs.

Yes they are especially if you are over 70.

If you travel often, you may find an annual policy to be more cost effective. We do 4 or 5 cruises a year plus several land trips and are insured for all of them under one policy. Availability varies by state.

I went back and looked at my spreadsheet where I was doing my comparisons and planning. The rates for our trip seemed to be between 4% and 7% of the total trip price. I chose the least expensive option, which ironically had better coverage limits than the 2nd most expensive policy. In fact, I went ahead and added CFAR on top of that because it was only an extra $140 with the company I chose (globalalerttravel). All of the others were much more expensive to add CRA. In fact, one was going to end up almost doubling the price of the insurance to add it. My advice is to really shop around.

Oh yeah, that's gotta be it :confused:
