• Answer:

  I am a senior and I always use Travelex http://www.travelex.com/us/personal/travelinsurance.asp?content=tie It has all of the options that you could want including medical evacuation if you select the full plan. I usually select the Travel Lite option since I don't have any medical problems. You can go to their web site and get a quote before you buy so you know exactly how much. Their rates are based on age, the price of the cruise and the amount of time from the effective date of the policy until all travel is completed. Another web site which allows you to compare travel insurance plans and rates is this one (insuremytrip.com): http://www.insuremytrip.com/p/myquotecalc?pid=1000&spid=0&linkid=13521&rid=43&DM=05&DD=01&DY=2006&RM=05&RD=20&RY=2006&agentcommission=&agentcommissioncalc=&predestination=8&triptype=Cruise&AGET1=62&AGET2=60&AGET3=&AGET4=&AGET5=&AGET6=&AGET7=&AGET8=&AGET9=&AGET10=&VIEWAGET1=62&VIEWAGET2=60&VIEWAGET3=&VIEWAGET4=&VIEWAGET5=&VIEWAGET6=&VIEWAGET7=&VIEWAGET8=&VIEWAGET9=&VIEWAGET10=&usedob=&T1DOBMONTH=&T1DOBDAY=&T1DOBYEAR=&T2DOBMONTH=&T2DOBDAY=&T2DOBYEAR=&T3DOBMONTH=&T3DOBDAY=&T3DOBYEAR=&T4DOBMONTH=&T4DOBDAY=&T4DOBYEAR=&T5DOBMONTH=&T5DOBDAY=&T5DOBYEAR=&T6DOBMONTH=&T6DOBDAY=&T6DOBYEAR=&T7DOBMONTH=&T7DOBDAY=&T7DOBYEAR=&T8DOBMONTH=&T8DOBDAY=&T8DOBYEAR=&T9DOBMONTH=&T9DOBDAY=&T9DOBYEAR=&T10DOBMONTH=&T10DOBDAY=&T10DOBYEAR=&TCI=3500&TCIT=7000&BI=&TAI=50000&Residence=NC&Feature=&product=&x=25&y=17&o=200601196027342&pid=1000&linkid=13521&rid=43&Run=QuickQuote&compare=false&printerfriendly=&printplan= It also allows you to tailor your insurance plan to your needs and then select a company that you want to use. It's a good site because it gives the names of several companies that you can contact independent of the web site. I have used Travelex several times and also filed a claim with them due to a trip interruption. They responded quickly, I provided additional info they requested and then they paid the claim promptly with no argument.
