eem0924 Posted July 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2022 How late are you able to add Travel Insurance? Would it help pay to bring you home if there was a medical emergency in your immediate family (stateside)?

cruisegirl1 Posted July 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2022 You can purchase insurance at any time. The rccl insurance has to be purchased through their 3rd party vendor if you are within final payment. That is cruise insurance and likely will not provide emergency travel assistance if you need to travel home. Go to a site like "insure my trip dot com" to looks at plans that meet your needs. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family health has changed since our original booking It's worth calling a travel insurance company to find out about the situation I think you are trying to benefit from. Having said that, I don't think any USUAL travel insurance will cover the cost of a trip home for anyone other than those named on the policy, actually are sick, injured, and/or a traveling companion of yours, and are actually on the trip with you. Having said all that, I really don't know for sure. That's why I suggest you call. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babr Posted July 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2022 You need a policy that does not apply the pre-existing conditions exclusion to non-traveling family members. Consult a professional to see what is available to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem is not about time - you can insure up to the day of departure. You are trying to insure against a known event. In the UK if you did this, without declaring the reason, it would be fraudulent. Whilst I am sorry for your problem it's another example of why you should insure immediately you make a booking. Our Annual Travel policy covers us against the the problem you face but only if we didn't know about it at the time the insurance was taken out.
