cclarry Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Well, since I lost that cruise I was just able to book another cruise on MSC out of New York in January... which doesn't thrill me, but it's an 11 night instead of an 8 night, and it only cost me $589 TOTAL!!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawajava Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 You’ve got a good story here about the value of travel insurance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think travel insurance is a good deal for peace of mind when you have to make all those non-refundable non-changeable reservations . It sure saved us on one big family trip. If you don't have it though, you might get something out of your credit card provider. We got stranded on the far end of a trip when Braniff went bankrupt for the last time (yep, I'm old). Citibank covered the cost for the same-day purchase of United tickets to get us all home, so we didn't lose a dime. (They were the card I used for the cheap Braniff tix).

The standard coupon is "groupbuyauto" which takes off 15% and is usually applied automatically in cart. If that coupon shows in the cart, then the GROUP code will knock off the extra 1%. If the "groupbuyauto" code doesn't show, ,then either coupons aren't allowed, or the FORUM code will work, but it's a crap-shoot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that $589 Extra to what you had already paid to increase from 8 to 11 days, or is that a straight $589 for 11 days - if its $589 total for 11 days, can you please find out if they accept permanent residents😎 Have a great time Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get my previous cruise paid for by my insurance...still waiting to hear back, which could take up to 14 days, but I've submitted all of my receipts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
