MSEm Posted January 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We are adding a pre-tour to an O booking. The TA is quoting the same cost for O trip insurance with or without the added O Pre-tour. She states that is the quoted price from O. This does not seem correct to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does the insurance have a to/from amount for the total rate? Maybe you are still within the top amount covered ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSEm Posted January 30, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Had TA go back to O. "Yes" I was correct that the addition of the O pre-tour does increase the cost of the insurance. I am being quoted the increased price for the insurance. I want to see an invoice showing Cruise, pre-tour and the insurance before I make a deposit. Next time I may very well just book directly and skip the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2023 or just buy travel insurance from a broker not the cruise line 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSEm Posted January 30, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Because of our age, O Cruise insurance is cheaper than purchasing through others. When we were younger, we purchased insurance with a 3rd party. Often it was better coverage at a lower price. Also we could cover pre or post tour stays and air flights in 1 insurance policy. Just need to double check what is being quoted. Without my questions about price and what was covered, I would not have all of my trip covered. That could result in problems if I needed to file a claim for cancellation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
