[Travelandtourism] Question from client interested in a cruisewith Hurricane Season

[cheryl echevarria]

nope there is no coverage for Natural disasters. The Travel Insurance for 
lets say a cruise, especially if you book way in advance, covers if you get 
sick or someone else gets sick and you cannot go and you can get a full 
refund, if you buy directly from the cruise lines the travel insurance you 
may not get 100% of your money back.

It also covers if you miss your plane, lost luggage, medical insurance 
should you get hurt on your vacation, remember the insurance you have hear 
will not cover outside the USA. Also if you have pre-existing conditions

Always good to have it.
