insurance for weather

[darbs7]

I checked the cruise insurance thread and nothing. Has anyone ever heard of cruise insurance or flight that covers weather? I always see it as an exclusion.

Insurance underwriters will insure you for just about anything, including bad weather spoiling your cruise, but you won't get that coverage as part of your normal travel insurance package. Depending on the risk, it may not be cheap either. Insuring against rain in the Sahara desert? Probably not too expensive. But don't go looking for rain insurance in the Caribbean unless you have very deep pockets!

 

Here's an article written yesterday regarding insurance for weddings:

Seriously?

Hmmm... which policies are you looking at? Nearly every 3rd-party policy has weather delaying or canceling your trip as something that is explicitly covered.

Exactly, and one of the reasons that we purchase insurance....especially in the winter with our snowy weather and small airport.
