When planning a cruise, it’s important to consider purchasing cruise insurance at the same time that you purchase the cruise. Offering protection and assistance against the unexpected, cruise insurance protects you in case of baggage loss, last minute travel changes, and emergency medical assistance. Before and during your ocean travels, it’s a great way to protect your vacation investment.
There are many different costs involved when you are planning a vacation, including the price of the cruise tickets, plane tickets to the port of departure, and other costs. There are often high fees involved if the trip has to be cancelled due to an emergency. Coverage is provided with cruise travel insurance in these situations to protect your trip investment
Travel insurance for cruises should be purchased within 15 days from the time you book your cruise package (initial deposit), to receive the maximum benefits available. Typically, coverage is included for emergency medical services, trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, missed connections or baggage loss.
The medical services covered by cruise insurance include $50,000 in coverage for medical expense, $100,000 for emergency medical, and up to $50,000 for accidental death and dismemberment. In case of death or dismemberment while in flight, optional coverage can be purchased to protect you.
Before your trip begins, it can be impossible to predict what can happen. A pre-existing condition could force you to cancel your trip for reasons or the cruise line or travel agency can go out of business. You can relax and feel confident that you will be protected in these situations when you purchase cruise travel insurance within 15 days of booking your trip (initial trip deposit).
Important additional benefits that are included in cruise travel insurance include extra emergency travel services. You can have peace of mind when travelling knowing that you have access to 24-hour emergency travel assistance for help with rebooking flights, passport information and cash advances.
The price of cruise cancellation insurance is dependent on how long the trip will be and how old the traveler is. To receive the maximum benefit, you must purchase the plan at least 24 hours prior to the date of departure and you must insure the total pre-paid, non refundable portion of your trip.

Travel Tips For A Tight Budget
December 23rd, 2009
As we are getting closer to summer, many are beginning to think about a family vacation this year. However, with the rising cost of gas, food and just living day to day, this could possibly prevent some families from taking a trip that could provide the relaxation they desperately need. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Let me give you some helpful hints that can allow you to take the trip you desire, without breaking your bank.
Consider renting a house or condo instead of staying in a hotel. A rental provides you with a complete kitchen and eating area, allowing you to purchase and prepare your own food. Not having to eat at restaurants for every meal can really cut-down on the cost of your trip.
It’s very important to look for flights, hotels and car rentals on several websites to find the best deal. Prices can vary website to website, so doing your homework will pay off. Check out the packages the different websites offer for booking flights, hotels and/or car rentals together, but also check the prices separately. A package deal may or may not be cheaper.
If you have a specific destination in mind, begin looking and planning well in advance to find the best deals. Find out when the non-peak time is to your destination and travel then. You can often find lodging and activities at a reduced cost.
If your destination is flexible, however, consider looking on-line for last minute travel deals that different sites offer, such as expedia.com. Quite often they have specials at a greatly reduced rate for the following week or two.
If you have kids, always look for kids’ deals. Choose restaurants where kids can eat for free and hotels where they can stay for free. Some airlines also offer deals for students, such as orbitz.com. Be sure to ask about senior citizen discounts if applicable.
Begin planning now. This will allow you to be ready for your trip and enjoy your vacation, knowing that you have already found the best deals available.
