tiff123 Posted January 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Does anyone know if Carnival travel insurance would cover needing to cancel/postpone a vacation in the event of a strike at work? If my husband's company's labor union decides to strike, he will not be able to go on vacation. There are no current plans for them to strike, its just the renewal period when we want to cruise and its always a possibility... If Carnival travel insurance does not cover this, is there independent travel insurance you can purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbohbbneedacruise Posted January 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You would need to read through the exact policy for coverage. Most that I have read exclude voluntary employment interruption. Such a strike or quitting. Involuntary would be being fired or lay-offs. There is always cancel for any reason but again you have to read the exact policies. You can check http://www.insuremytrip.com/plans/index.html Just click Compare Plans and enter your state in the pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It covers work related cancelling, at least the carnival insurance I know of. Since this would be work related, I would say probably. (but not because its a strike per se) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiff123 Posted January 13, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Technically it wouldn't be voluntary, as my husband wouldn't be the one striking, he would be forced to stay at work due to the workers that are striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffd218 Posted January 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just bought Travel Guard insurance gold plan directly off their website for our May 6, 2012 cruise. The cost for 2 people was $113 and does include strikes. They do have a platinum plan with even more coverage (and cost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
