Kudos2Fly Posted October 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Question I'm sure this has been asked, so forgive me if I'm asking it again. But my computer is SO SLOOOOW that searching this is impossible. Looking to get one built soon, but it can't come soon enough. Anyways, we have a family member VERY attached to a dog that is in his upper years and had a health scare not to long ago. Now the family member is a bit gun shy on going anyplace that he can't drive back to in case the dog has a turn for the worst. Well we are planning an cruise with family members in April 2019. My question is there ANY companies that TRULY cancel for any REASON? I did a bit of looking and they don't cover Pet death. Probably many on here can see a PET is like a Family member. I also have a cat that is up there in years, but have a different take on it. But this family member doesn't. We want him to book, but also want to feel he has options. Even if it costs a bit. Does anyone on here no of any companies the truly cancel for any reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2018 These are common websites used for travel insurance. You should be able to search for the policy attributes you desire. www.insuremytrip.com www.squaremouth.com www.quotewright.com www.tripinsurancestore.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2018 There is also a forum here for travel insurance. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted October 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Check the insurance offered through whatever cruise line your traveling on - some of them offer full credit towards another future cruise if you cancel. Their medical and evacuation coverage is usually too low for many people, but it is a way to recover your cruise cost if you decide to cancel.

Kartgv Posted October 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Probably the worst place to look for travel insurance. For some people in some cases, yes, but not always. It's worth looking at and comparing coverage and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving you a "future cruise credit" is hardly "recovering your cruise cost." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted October 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2018 ...I did a bit of looking and they don't cover Pet death. Whatever you looked at, was not cancel any reason. NO REASON is need to file claim. What I don't understand is the "slow" computer excuse. First time I booked a cruise and bought travel insurance I was using a dial up phone modem.

Rare Scrapnana Posted October 9, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Giving you a "future cruise credit" is hardly "recovering your cruise cost." And some of them only cover a percentage of the cost in their "cancel for any reason" coverage. Many policies (not cruise lines) allow you to upgrade your coverage to include cancel for any reason but it drastically increases the cost of the policy.

SRF Posted October 9, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2018 1) It costs a lot more. 2) In many cases you have a limited time after booking to buy the insurance. 3) The ones I have seen only pay 75% of cruise fare. 4) Shop around. I seldom cover the cruise fare. I figure I spent the money, and it is gone. I get coverage for the unexpected things that could cost a lot, like medical emergency, medical evacuation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
