We are going on a Mediterranean cruise for 12 days. We have Aetna insurance (POS Choice II)–is that enough?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Of another kind asked:


Or, should we purchase travel insurance from CSA for $84 each? I just called Aetna, and they cover any medical related emergencies that we may encounter. Cruise ship’s infirmaries are out of network, so my plan covers me at 75% after a deductible. If I need an emergency room visit, then that would be covered at 100% after a $75 deductible.

Maybe a better question is, if we should get travel insurance, how does CSA stack up against TravelGuard, Insuremytrip, and others?

How to get people to buy a cruise vacation?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Xtal asked:


I now have a website for people to buy travel online (I’m a new travel agent). I was thinking of advertising in newspapers for a special price on a cruise. Do people actually buy cruises they see listed in the newspaper or should I think of something else? I wanted to offer a discount package for people in the midwest that would include airfare the cruise (from florida to the bahamas). Any suggestions???

What’s the best/cheapest way to book a cruise?

Monday, September 15th, 2008
db606 asked:


I’m hoping to take my girlfriend on a cruise in about 6 weeks. Neither of us have been on one before.

Is it better to use a travel agent, or should we just go online to find a bargain?

Are some cruise lines better than others? Do most offer shuttles from airport to boat?

I need help from all you cruise vets to book the right cruise?

Monday, July 28th, 2008
mele8705 asked:


I’m trying to book a cruise for me and my friends to go to the Western Caribbean 6-7 nights. We are all in our 20s. What Cruiseline would you suggest?(b/w Carnival and RCI) We’ve been on RCI and we loved it, but do you think we’d like Carnival better? Also, when is the best time to book a cruise, and w/who(Travel agent, online bargain sites, cruiseline website, phone etc.), to get the best price possible? (We have been on a cruise, but we didnt handle the booking, so this is new for me!) THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!
by best time i mean like way in advance or at the last minute, I heard you can get savings both ways, but I wasn’t sure if this was true.
