carnival cruise insurance coverage Pre and Post Cruise

[Bob1948]

We purchased Carnival Cruise Insurance but still have a question about coverage Pre and Post-Cruise.  Does the Carnival travel insurance cover our travel to and from home if we did not book our Pre and Post air travel through Carnival?

Essentially NO, if you don't buy your travel arrangements through Fly to the Fun you will need to buy the airline's insurance at the very least ( or segmented coverage from a 3rd party travel insurer). If not going by air, but driving in, wanting something more than your own auto-policy coverage for clauses like trip interruption or delay or if going by train or bus and you want your lodgings covered as well a 3rd party travel package that includes open mode of transport is a must. If you check insuremytrip.com you can compare multiple policies and there coverage options side by side.
