Begging For Travel Health Insurance
Spring break is drawing near, and with the warm weather on the way more and more people will be looking to travel and have a little fun. Vacation cruises offer a lot of bang for the buck, but don't set sail without purchasing some
travel health insurance, or you may regret it.
Vacation cruises offer everything many travelers could desire: food, drink, dancing, pool side recreation, exotic locales, and even gambling. But as is always the case, traveling can be dangerous, even on a cruise. During flu season the confined space of a cruise ship makes them ideal for the passing of germs. And, there's always norovirus, the stomach flu that infamously strikes even the most fastidious cruise lines.
There's also other uncontrollable events that can ruin trip at sea, like bad weather or accidental serious injury.
This is why travel health insurance is so important, should you get sick, the policy will pay for itself immediately. According to
Miami.com, "medical evacuation is expensive and is not covered by ordinary health insurance. From a cruise ship in the Caribbean back to a city in the United States, the cost may run $10,000-$15,000 or more. From remote locales or in particularly complicated cases, the cost can exceed $100,000."
