I have booked a 15 day Caribbean Cruise for January 223, I have been in remission from kidney cancer for two and a half years now and still being refused  travel insurance. 

Any suggestions, has anyone tried Insurancewith recently? The last time I tried they would not quote me until 60 days before travel.

 Thank you for any advice given.

  • Hi

    A Caribbean cruise sounds lovely but unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to get travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis.

    I don't know if you've had chance to look through the recommended travel insurance thread yet, as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. If not, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.

    Most people here have found that it's best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal. 

    You've asked if anyone has used Insurancewith recently so you might be interested in this recent thread and also this one.

    Do come back and let us know how you get on

  • Thanks for the info insurancewuth have quoted me £510 which includes COVID, they have an extended COVID for £41. I think that this will be the best I will be given when others have refused cover.

  • Great news . I don't know if that's a good price as I haven't travelled to the Caribbean but if you're happy with it then that's all that matters.

    Have a lovely time.
