willysgrandma Posted April 17, 2007 #26 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cruise ship is a "common carrier." Interestingly, there is case law where courts have decided that "on a common carrier" also includes the time you are off the cruise ship, for example on an excursion, even a privately arranged excursion. This came up, for example, once when a life insurance policy covered only the insured "on a common carrier," and the insured died on a private excursion during a cruise. Go figure!

Minoushka Posted April 18, 2007 #28 Share Posted April 18, 2007 we usually purchase air from the cruise company if there is a delay they will fly you to the next port and put you up in a hotel this happened to us on costa atlantica and costa did that for us picked the ship up in cozumel my visa card offers both trip cancellation and trip interruption for that reason but you must purchase the card mine cost 90 $ well worth it for cancellation fees for 3 or 4 are very expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatam Posted April 18, 2007 #29 Share Posted April 18, 2007 we usually purchase air from the cruise company if there is a delay they will fly you to the next port and put you up in a hotel this happened to us on costa atlantica and costa did that for us picked the ship up in cozumel Please don't count on the cruise line getting you to the next port in a timely fashion. IF there are seats available on the plane, you MAY get to the next port. There have been absolute horror stories about missing 1/3-1/2 of a cruise due to cruise air. A missed/delayed flight (airline problem) is NOT the problem in this thread. The OP booked an 11:00AM flight after a cruise. The flight is out of Vancouver. They are worried they may not make it to the airport in time. Insurance will not cover for missing the flight due to your negligence by booking the flight too early.

Seems like that would especially be true if you booked your flight earlier than the cruise line recommends. Don't they say somewhere in their documents that they do not recommend booking return flights before noon or 1:00 p.m? I know nothing about insurance, just thinking out loud...
