The one time I bought cruise insurance was for an Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Grand Princess. The cruise itself was fine, but there were quite a few passengers that were unable to make it to Fort Lauderdale.
I think the date of the cruise had something to do with it, September 16, 2001.
That's right, air travel was all messed up. So were a most passengers' itineraries and add ons. I'd ordered a pair of plush robes, chocolate strawberries and champagne, flowers and none of it was in our cabin when we arrived. In fact, it dribbled in over the course of 3 days. Princess used the excuse that "FedEx wasn't flying all week, so they weren't able to get all the paperwork from LA to Lauderdale in time. I had to get refunds on the food and flowers because they weren't there for sailing. Of course, I don't know why they didn't just e-mail and fax everything.
Our sailing was delayed for 2 hours because literally 100 families were en-route from Chicago and hadn't made it in time.
