βWhen I called the cruise line to alter one of those sailings, they quickly said no. Not because they couldn't, because the policy said they didn't have to.β

Read your travel insurance policy carefully to understand actual coverage, not assumptions.
Purchase travel insurance with the right terms for full-time cruising.
Review cancellation, emergency medical, and repatriation coverage before booking.
Consider cancel for any reason coverage for additional flexibility.
