Travel insurance

[Belfast Castle]

some advice please - we are uk residents and cruising in November with RCI to the Caribbean. We fly to Orlando and are there for three nights and then cruising for one week.

Do we need specific cruise insurance or is worldwide travel insurance sufficient.

Who do fellow UK cruisers insure with please ?

Read the policy documents to confirm what is / isn't covered. Phone the insurers too.

 

 

I use Aviva as I think they're excellent. They have told me they cover repatriation from the ship as well.

You need insurance covering the US and also cruising,best to get an annual cover.

We have used Direct Travel Insurance for 8+ years.

Three issues to think about:

 

1. Does your national medical insurance cover you outside the UK (in US, on islands or on ship)?

 

2. If you have to be medically evacuated from the ship, do you have coverage for this?

 

3. If you can't go all or part of the trip, how much money are you willing to lose?

We use Insure and Go due to medical conditions.

You must make a medical declaration when booking insurance otherwise you give them a chance to not pay out.
