raahc 112 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 This is the one part of cruising that is absolutely necessary, but stressful to research! I'm reading the fine print of one quote and the medical portion covers $5 million per person, however, there are limits to return of deceased (up to $5,000). My husband's employer covers up to $3,000, so total of $8,000. How do I know what the cost would be? It would all depend on if/where this would occur. I asked the insurance provider and they could not comment. They advised me to look at the Government of Canada's website, which does not list costs. How do I determine how much is enough?

Matt 12,317 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I recently posted a "Travel Insurance 101" podcast: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/podcast/episode-315-travel-insurance-101 1 minute ago, raahc said: How do I determine how much is enough? I'll be honest, I have no idea either. But I do know having travel insurance that provides coverage of this type of situation is better than no insurance at all. raahc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I purchased a good plan just now, and also made final payment on our cruise! Now just counting the days .... I listened to your podcast a while back and it was super helpful Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mk-ultra 303 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 With all of the paperwork and other legal and logistical hoops required to go through to ship a body internationally, you're usually looking at $5K on the low end and almost triple that on the high end. Too many variables to give a hard number. raahc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amanx 10 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I think most important is to have repatriation of your Live body, for proper medical treatment. So make sure your insurance covers that, and if ther is a cap. Getting flown home can be like 50K. raahc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
