Creator's Key Takeaways

It's an investment to your peace of mind and if you need it, you know, it's going to be there and it can make up for it in one loss.

A third party is cheaper for a heck of a lot more coverage. And I've seen it the opposite way where the third party is more expensive, but the cruise line is cheaper.

If you're flying, for sure if we're flying, I'm getting trip insurance and I'm also booking through the cruise line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider third-party insurance for more robust coverage including medical and baggage.
Check with your health insurance provider to see if they cover medical emergencies in foreign countries or international waters.
Book travel insurance shortly after booking your trip to ensure coverage for pre-existing conditions.
