Cruising Insurance with Trawick International
Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 1 pm EDT/10 am PDT
Do you need cruise insurance in today's Covid-19 focused world? The short answer? Yes. The long answer? Yes, because many cruise lines are requiring it, especially if you are unvaccinated. A recent report by MSNBC stated that Royal Caribbean now requires all guests over the age of 16 sailings from U.S. ports, except those in Florida, to be fully vaccinated. Starting Aug. 1, the rule will apply to all guests over 12. Passengers leaving from Florida ports from Aug. 1 to Dec. 31 who are not vaccinated will need travel insurance. Royal Caribbean is the first cruise line to make travel insurance mandatory for unvaccinated travelers. Over the next few weeks, we believe other cruise lines adopt this policy, making it imperative to have travel insurance before going on a cruise.
