My husband and I are considering a Mediterranean cruise. I have cruised the Caribbean multiple times and feel like I know the ins and outs. However, traveling abroad that far from home is making me hesitant. The itinerary we are considering has Barcelona at embarkation and Rome at debarkation. This would mean overnight stays in both cities. Lots of planning!!
I have two main questions:
1) I have a TA that I have used for Disney in the past and I respect her knowledge. However, she does charge a fee. Are the cruise line reps just as good as a TA?
2) Do most people use cruise insurance? When I spoke with my TA she suggested that I not go through the cruise line for insurance. Apparently it doesn’t cover enough for most medical emergencies. I certainly don’t want to be oversees without adequate insurance coverage.
Any thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.
