The biggest advantages are low price if you are under 70 or so and you can package your own trip to include flights and hotels and car rentals in addition to the basic cruise. No need to be tied to the cruise line to further your vacation. If you are older the cruise line insurance is often cheaper as the third party versions are based upon age, trip length and cost.

They are an insurance company if I recall correctly. I had no issues so I can't comment on their service. insuremytrip.com is a broker of sorts, representing many insurance brands and types. They carry/sell Travel guard as well, or at least they did. Clay |

If you go to insuremytrip.com you will find Travel Guard and many other insurance ccmpanies. This will allow you to compare ea company and see what fits your needs most. You can call insuremytrip.com or any of the individual companies, also you can purchase insurance through the website or go directly to the insurance company. Phone #s will be on the website. We have purchased insurance through several different companies, bought some through the website and some through our TA. If nothing else insuremytrip.com is great for gathering info. I have no connection to them other then being a happy customer of theirs. sue |

I was wondering if anyone has heard of them or know of their reputation. I have two policies with them now for future cruises. A couple of years ago I got sick and had to cancel just before a cruise. Travel Guard sent a check for the whole trip almost immediately after receiving the documentation from my Doctor. -- Charles |
