We always recommend at time of booking to purchase travel insurance , but do you know whats covered and whats not ??
If your flights or cruise holiday are canceled or delayed and you need to make alternate arrangements or are forced to cancel your trip your insurance plan will help you cover costs. Coverage may fall into the following catagories Trip Cancellation , Trip Delay , and Trip interruption. However if your simply nervous about travelling or dont think you should go on holiday in a county affected by a recent disaster then you will receive no help from the travel insurance company.
