Since my SO and I are in our relatively advanced senior years we have
had a number of medical issues so we wanted cruise insurance that
covered preexisting conditions. We didn't want to buy until the time
of final payment because we might change our plans between the time of
booking and final payment and, if we had bought the insurance at the
time of booking, we'd be out the money that we paid for the
insurance. I researched insuremytrip and found one company, HTH
Worldwide, which has a policy which covers preexisting conditions if
the insurance is purchased within 10 days of final payment.
