Travel Insurance Primer for Cruise Travelers

Last month I wrote a piece about travel insurance for Cruise Critic and it's now live. If you've ever wondered whether or not to purchase trip coverage, head over to CC and read "Travel Insurance Primer for Cruise Travelers." 


You'll read about the disasterous end to one of our Hawaii trips and why we are now much more likely to buy insurance for all future vacations.

We will also never let our annual Medjet Assist medical evacuation membership lapse. In January my father suffered acute kidney failure while vacationing in Florida with my sister's family. It cost over $16,000 to medevac him back to a hospital near his home in Massachusetts.

If he had a MedJet membership, this incident would have been covered and we wouldn't have had to scramble to arrange the medical evacuation ourselves. My husband and I have kept our annual membership for years and we're now making sure all of our friends and family sign up as well. It's worth the price for the increased peace of mind.
