WARWICK, R.I., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- It's Cruise Wave Season again; that
three-month period from January-March when record numbers of cruises are
booked by winter-weary individuals in search of some high seas R&R. Before you
go, make sure you have travel insurance to protect your trip from the many
unforeseen events that can affect cruise vacations such as lost or delayed
baggage, missed airline connections, and travel delays due to bad weather.

"With travel insurance, you can relax and enjoy peace of mind that your
vacation is protected, all for a small fraction of your trip cost," explains
Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. "So before you make your
great cruise escape, understand the basics of travel insurance with these
facts from InsureMyTrip.com:"
-- No two travel insurance policies are the same
-- Coverages and premiums vary widely
-- Don't just buy the first policy you find -- compare and get expert
advice
-- Save Time and Money by shopping at one source
-- Be a smart shopper, ask the right questions, and use an independent,
unbiased, 50-state licensed insurance agency
-- Travel Insurance is insurance and coverage is more than just a limit --
the policy wording is very important
-- The policy you purchased last year is often a very different policy
this year as companies are constantly changing coverages and policy
wording to meet consumer demand
-- InsureMyTrip.com is the most popular travel insurance website in the
world and provides all of these services under one roof

"Lastly and perhaps most importantly, cruisers should know their coverage
options," says Grace. "Typically, if you purchase travel insurance directly
through a travel supplier such as a cruise line, airline, or tour operator,
you cannot protect yourself should that travel supplier go bankrupt or become
financially insolvent. Therefore, it's best to purchase your travel insurance
protection from a third-party source."
