Your options are:
Cancel the cruise and take the hit on the refund. You'll lose 50% I
believe. Booking Insurance now is too late, yes the insurance company
will check and you'll lose your bought insurance.
On the other hand you could roll the dice and hope he doesn't go in
until you come back.
You could try a phone call to the cruise company of course, you may get
a sympathetic ear. I guess I'd try that first and foremost. |
