Travel insurance for cruises

14th Jul 2011

Q. Cheryl
I would like to take my mother on a carnival cruise to Mexico and then Las Vegas for 16 days. She has a doctor’s certificate to travel. Can she get insurance and how much would it cost for medical, cancellation and luggage cover?

A. Provided by Worldcare
You will need to provide more information to receive a comprehensive quote. Pre-existing conditions for Worldcare are split into three groups. Depending on the conditions affecting your mother, she may be covered automatically or she may not be covered at all. She may also be able to get cover with an additional premium payable. Full details of specific conditions that are in these groups are provided in the Product Disclosure Statement (pages 11-14).

To determine eligibility for pre-existing condition coverage, you should follow the pre-existing conditions process on the Worldcare website. When purchasing online, customers are guided through a questionnaire once they select ‘Yes’ for the Cover for pre-existing medical conditions question. At the conclusion of this questionnaire any required premium loadings will be applied automatically.

Hopefully this answers your question however, if you require additional information, you can contact Worldcare Contact Centre directly on 1800 008 614.
