tap_out Posted July 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I have never been on to buy cruise insurance. 12 cruises without any problem and then...........NORO. I think I ended up with a $800 bill from the infirmary. Carnival was nice enough to give me $400 FCC. Anyway for the cheap price of cruise insurance and with everything going on with Covid travel, I will probably get the Insurance that Carnival offers. My question is how close to the cruise am I able to purchase the insurance. We sail August 15th and as of today looks like I still have the option to purchase an their website.

Rare lazydayz Posted July 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I would go ahead and do it if you can. My PVP told me the other day I had until final payment date, and you are well past that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted July 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Go ahead and sign up. Is there any advantage of waiting until the last minute? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tap_out Posted July 28, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Anybody have any insight on how close to the cruise this can be booked. I know it's past final payment date as it still shows up as an option to purchase. No incentive on waiting, a few in our party are still up in the air if they are going to purchase or not.

Rare BlerkOne Posted July 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2022 You may have already lost the cancel for any reason clause. I think you can get partial coverage up to a week before the cruise. Or it might be 10 days. 2 weeks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjpcruise Posted July 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I cruised in April. I booked four days prior to departing and was able to get the Carnival insurance. I’m not sure if there’s an issue since you’ve already paid in full, but I doubt it. There are plenty of Carnival Facebook groups that can probably answer your question very quickly. That is, if you are on FB… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Carnival would let someone who booked it a year earlier do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
