Creator's Key Takeaways

Oh, Ben, you're not going to believe what we've just been told.

We were meant to do a seven night cruise to Boston. It's turned into a 9 or 10 night cruise now to New York.

I'm a little bit more upset with how it's been dealt with. There's nobody to speak to. Nobody explaining what's happening.

It just shows you definitely do need travel insurance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance for cruises.
Be prepared for last-minute itinerary changes due to weather.
Consider using a travel agent for complex bookings.
