My insurance company (provided with a fee paying bank account) told me they would not cover me for any premium when I was diagnosed in May this year. I wanted to book a cruise so went seraching. I finished up with Staysure who were not the cheapest but seem to have a reasonable reputation. Going to the Caribbean in January 16 so very much under the US medical system and they are charging me £320 for the trip. Still seems an awful lot but I guess it depends on the illness and how much you want to go. I talked it though with them and they were very supportive. Hope this gives an idea.

stay away from staysure. have you not read all the reviews? they will try everything to not pay out!!!!

last year, my mother was taken into hospital ill, and we had to ask them for forms to make a claim for her air fare. NOT the whole holiday as we were still going, but leaving mum here. a lousy £650. after a week, I rang them to say I would send the death certificate along with the doctors note they asked for. they replied that that was a second claim and therefore I was committing fraud. they would therefore not be paying out.

so there you have it. claim if youre sick, but if you snuff it, they say fraud!!

just what you need when trying to sort out funeral arrangements etc. they only paid out in the end when I plastered the internet about it and started court procedings. that's the scum you're giving your money too.

I sujest you look up the reviews, and think very carefully.............

Hi - we are cruising with P&0 on Oceana for the first time in May and just have a couple of questions ...

 

1. Are the pools heated ?

 

2. Can you use Costa gift cards or Costa points in the Costa on the ship.

 

Thanks muchly

yes pools heated. however....... choose a different outfit if you can. you aint going to enjoy oceana.

the food is disgusting!! I am a chef so I know what i'm talking about. the filth they serve up is the sort of muck you/we do not eat at home. it's the processed stuff and chemically enhanced rubbish. I have written to them and was fobbed off. I have rang them, and some woman would neither deny or confirm that they use this rubbish. I asked about 8 times, and she continued to evade the question.

I have taken many cruises, and this is the first time I have returned home weighing less than when I started the cruise. p and o have lost my custom. the ship stank of sewage the entire cruise on many decks. p and o now stands for PONG AND ODOR.....

the lifeboats were constantly being worked on. they were up there banging away and applying heat to the mechanisms, and I heard one of them talking, saying to his mate, they were seized up and couldn't be launched. rather worrying when in the bob in rough weather. the ship is looking rather tired and sad, it's time they sold it to saga and got another one. it's a pity, because we sailed on this ship about 3 years ago and was great!!!

it has now put me off cruising for life.
