for 7 days. However I booked the
specific itinerary and paid more for that than a western. I know the cruise lines insurance doesn’t cover changes in ports but private travel
insurance sometimes does. I plan to cruise so cancellation won’t apply. I am going to write the admin for the full policy tomorrow but in the meantime what are people’s experiences with change of port calls and trip
intereuption ?
They will not reimburse for change of ports. During hurricane Irma I was on a Royal Caribbean cruise that initially had 3 destinations, and was 4 nights, but got dropped to 3 nights and only 1 destination. They only reimbursed for 1 night or 1/4th of the cost of the trip because the value of the ports cannot be determined.
