We are having trouble finding an insurance company who will cover us for cruising. Has anyone had any success in getting medical and trip cancellation? We are booked for a cruise in mid September but may have to cancel if we can’t purchase travel insurance. We are both retired and travelling with my Mom and her friend, both in their 80’s. 
 

Thanks

 

 

I have phoned a few insurers. Because of the Canada travel advisement against cruising, covid is not covered by the ones I have contacted.  However, the medical insurance you get or already have will still cover you for any other health issue other than covid, so you are not completely uncovered.  Celebrity Cruiseline states they will take care of getting you safely home if you do test positive.

I'd love to go back to Curacao.  Beautiful place and beautiful scenery.

This past January I went on the Breeze with my friend and LOVED every single thing about it. (Including Matt, the CD.) I can't put my finger on one thing - it was just a great ship. So....for this upcoming Thanksgiving I want to take the family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) on a cruise.

 

Is the Sunshine extremely similar to the Breeze? Or are there a lot of differences where I'd regret not booking the Breeze to enjoy with the family? We just don't want to feel as if we are "settling".

 

We like both itineraries - so that's not a selling point.

 

Any input would be welcome! Thanks!

If you go to Carnival's website and click on EXPLORE and then SHIPS, there is a compare option which will show exactly what differences there are for the ships.

That being said, I am sailing on the Breeze for the first time Jan 2, 2016, and have completed a cruise on the Sunshine for Christmas in 2013. I had no complaints about the Sunshine and didn't see any buckets in the hallways. The only negative was that a few of the meal choices in the Dining room weren't the greatest. It was also the first time we chose the 'anytime dining' and I don't think that we would do that again. If you went early there could be a wait of 30-60 minutes,seemed more disorganized, and didn't like having a different wait staff every meal. We had our kids with us (age 10 and 15 at the time) and they loved the ship and the activities aboard.

Good Luck!

I would love to see them too.

Why not just discuss what you would like to purchase in advance? Agree to a spending limit that is a compromise and works with your family budget. Better to work with each other than against. Just my opinion. :) I hope you all have a fantastic time!
