edmondlee Posted October 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi Everyone, We're interested in the MSC cruise from Miami this coming December. I assume we gonna be tested for covid before boarding the ship. So if we're tested positive on-site, are we gonna be disallowed to board and will the cruise refund us? Just wanna know the general policy of most cruises in this situation. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted October 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2020 You will definitely be denied boarding and at present be refunded but this could obviously all change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted October 17, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2020 So far for the Grandiosa sailings MSC is offering special insurance to cover you if you are denied boarding at embarkation or a port stop. It covers loss of cruise fare and some medical treatment/quarantine costs you may have to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmondlee Posted October 17, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I just realized that my credit card has travel insurance up to $1500 per person. Shouldn’t this be enough to cover my expense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmondlee Posted October 17, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The credit card insurance agent said covid is covered because it's considered illness. But disinclination to travel due to an epidemic or pandemic is not covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
