twroths Posted January 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We are in the midst of booking a July WB TA (My 4th, YEAH!) and wondering about the Cunard Travel Insurance vs. something we might be able to purchase separately from a 3rd party. The Cunard plan is about $116US for our cabin class (A4). I saw a few posts about UK round trip coverage but didn't find anything specifically about US TA's. If I missed something already posted, forgive me. I would appreciate additional info. Thanks, twroths - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocngypz Posted January 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2011 If any of your travel arrangements... air, transfers, hotel... are not made through Cunard, you will need to purchase 3rd party insurance. Insuremytripdotcom is a wonderful source of travel insurance information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeTvlr Posted January 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have also used that site several times with success. I have had a few unfortunate experiences that required me to file claims. In all cases they were handled fairly. I must add that the coverage in my cases cost about twice what you quoted, but they were for all costs on 12 -14 day cruises, often to Europe and back.

hcrane Posted January 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Tom, I've had good luck with Access America - actually booked a TA after our Nov trip in 09 for Jan 10 but had to cancel due to health issues - everything was refunded with no problems.

Insurance by the cruiselines often has loopholes big enough to drive a bus through. Definately shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted January 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You might want to check with your insurance carrier. Many offer travel insurance (ours does) at substantially less expensive rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
