The Value of Cruise Insurance

[Jimbo59]

We needed to cancel a Celebrity cruise because of the illness of a family member. We were past the final payment date and in the penalty phase. We had Celebrity's Cruise Care Policy which covers the sickness or injury to an “Immediate Family Member which includes your or the Traveling Companion's spouse, child, spouse's child, son-daughter-in-law, parent(s), sibling(s), grandparent(s), grandchild, step brother-sister, step-parent(s), parent(s)-in-law, brother-sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, Domestic Partner, or ward."

 

We received a partial refund from Celebrity for (I assume) some taxes and fees. The balance was refunded by the insurance carrier.

 

This is not a blanket endorsement of the Celebrity Cruise Care product. We selected it prior to the cruise because of the "Cancel for Any Reason" provision, and I would probably use this product again. Read the policy and make sure it meets your needs.

 

These are many good insurance plans available. See <www.squaremouth.com>

We have found that cruise insurance is very important and even if you don't insure the cruise to be sure that one way your medical expenses are covered. Even if you are in good health things happen and if you need to be evacuated from a ship the costs are astounding.
