Along with what Hallasm is saying, here in the US, we don't buy "Cruise" insurance. We purchase "Travel Insurance". When asking for travel dates, we just put the day we walk out of our door to begin our vacation/holiday, and the date we anticipate walking back in our house. For destination we only need to put 1 country that we are visiting.

Our Northbound Alaska cruise on Royal sailing out of Vancouver, BC to Seward, AK just did that.

Does this link provide any answers?

Am I to assume that since you were able to keep your original OBC, that means that every time someone else upgrades, they automatically retain their OBC in every instance?

Rent a satellite phone for the trip might be an idea to consider.

Then the airline you flew on (or the gate people) failed to do their due diligence. Alaska Airlines in Seattle wouldn't let you past the boarding gate until they ensured you had a completed ArriveCAN document.

Let's not forget the Alaska State Ferry System. It has cabin and meals.

Sorry but that is a question that cannot be answered as asked. I haven't filed with Allianz, however I can guarantee that out of the hundreds of claims that may have been filed, I would bet the mortgage that at least 1 of those claims has been denied.

Sharing my experience on Carnival Freedom this past week. It’s only $5 for the entire cruise for the “Chat” feature. However, it was hit or miss if it actually worked at all. Sometimes the delay on delivery of the message was hours. Sometimes you had to close the Hub app and restart it to get your messages. If it cost more than $5, I would say don’t do it. Obviously since it’s only 5 bucks, Carnival has no reason to try to improve its operation.
