Do you have question about a cruise that you are planning to go on or want advice and the cruise brochures do not have the answers.  Ask your question here and visitors to the site who have real cruise experience will answer your question.

type in the word insurance in the search option on questions and you find plently of suggestions. which ever company you use make sure that they are aware of the fact you are doing a cruise. I would recommend INTUNE (http://www.intunegroup.co.uk) they will cover some pre existing conditions and cruising without additional premium. They have no age restrictions

Get your European health card by ordering on the Internet (it is Free from the NHS). This covers you for hospital in EU countries. You are REQUIRED by the cruise company to have insurance to cover you all for your trip.The reason you need to be wary with travel insurance is that it costs a lot if you are treated on board ship hence ALWAYS mention you are going on a cruise ship. ALWAYS tell them if you are on any medication at all, ie. simvastatin, drugs for high blood pressure etc. that are prescribed. ANY claim on any insurance will be held void if you don't. Finally the 68yr old will pay more as over the magic 60. The 83 yr old will have a LOT of problems getting cover AT ALL and you should Start with a quote from the Cruise lines own insurance company. They are often the only ones that will cover over 80's at all. Even age concern, saga and help the aged would not cover my father in law. There is more advice on the site. put in insurance in the search above.
