I have disputed my claim three times now. Reference Number: ********* Claim Number: 25CCL00772.The first rationale given to me for the refusal to refund me for my trip was that my fever, and other symptoms/diagnosis that my physician listed did not qualify under sickness for a refund. I asked what they defined as sickness and what is covered under sickness if my diagnosis does not qualify. I did not receive a response to this. The second response to my dispute was that my physician note that was dated for 01/07 is the reason for my refusal to refund me. My physician dated when my symptoms began, and they began before the cruise date. My physician was closed the weekend before my trip that was scheduled Monday 01/06, and my physician did not have availability to see me when i called 01/06. I was seen when there was availability. My symptoms worsened the night of 01/05. I called my physician 01/06. He said not to go on the cruise, and i certainly was not going on a cruise feeling the way i did, and risk infecting others.I need a resolution here. Ive received two reasons for my refusal. There is no where on the policy that stated i needed a note signed from my physician showing i was seen before the take off date. I was only told i had to cancel my trip before take off.I did what i was told, and i am still refused my refund. Please help me get my refund for being sick, and too sick to attend the cruise.Goodness, i am still ill at this time from whatever I have!Initial Complaint

03/09/2024. Purchased cruise insurance for $150. My husband had leg amputation 03/28/2024. I cancelled the cruise before the final payment was due and was told to file insurance claim for $250 not reimbursed by ********. I filed claim and provided medical paperwork from surgery which included discharge paperwork. This is what was asked for. Now want him to sign a release for his entire medical history. They are saying he knew about the surgery when the cruise was booked which is ridiculous. We have been given the runaround. I provided what was required and they refuse to pay. Now Im out $250 from the cruise and $150 for the useless insurance. Im out more money than I would have been without the insurance. I would like them to uphold their obligation or at the very least refund what I paid for the insurance.Initial Complaint

In September 2024, We booked cruises (booking numbers for all parties Q8XZ59, Q8XZ98, and Q8XZ81). Estimated amount of money we spent was at a little over $3,000 each so the total was over $9,000 We purchased travel insurance as we knew one of the individuals who was traveling with us might be unable to go. This person fell broke him, then a week later had 2 ******, has to have a ****** and wear adult diapers, and can not stand or walk. On December 2, 2024, it was apparent this person would not get any better and his health has gotten worse. He is on hospice care, so we called our travel agent, the insurance company, and ********************. Which is way before the 15 days stated on insurance policy. We are being told we can't get a full refund, need to pay additional $500 each for a total of $1,500 to cancel. We want a full refund. This company is not upholding to there cancellation policy or travel insurance.Business Response

I booked a Celebrity cruise. Celebrity cruise says if I want travel insurance, I should use ***. Bought the travel insurance (Invoice attached). Because of the Israeli war, Celebrity writes me to tell me the changed this Israel cruise to a Greek cruise (email attached). They say I can cancel because they know the itinerary is completely different. I cancel (cancellation invoice attached) and Celebrity refunded me all my monies. I put in a claim to *** to ask for the insurance money back because I am not going on this cruise. The denied my claim (AON response attached). I called to complain and waited for a supervisor. Still was denied. Boy I want to get into this business. They collect monies for cruises that get cancelled by no fault of the cruise passenger. They must make a fortune.Business Response

**** contract said I had to cancel within 10 days of buying their insurance.
Celebrity didnt let me know that they cancel the Israel cruise within the 10 days after I bought the insurance.What a joke! If I knew who to write to complaint to whatever agency monitors Insurance practices I would.

I booked a Royal Caribbean cruise through United Cruises on 14 June 14 2023, and paid $260 for "Travel Protection" to United Cruises at that time. My booking was cancelled by Royal Caribbean on 17 October 2023 because the ship had been chartered. United Cruises held itself out as a partner of Royal Caribbean, and since the cruise was cancelled by said partner (and through no fault of my own), I am requesting a return of the $260 travel protection fee, which was collected by ***.Business Response

I purchased cruise protection from Carnival/AON in December when booking a cruise for **** of 2024 with my father. In February of 2024 my father was diagnosed with terminal Mantle Cell Lymphoma and was told he could not go on the cruise. I filed a claim for this insurance, only to be ignored for three months. When I finally got someone on the phone, I was told first they denied my claim because the medical verification from the doctor had not been provided and my claim was closed. Only after I argued and said I had uploaded it three times did they transfer my claim to an "examiner" who then stated my claim was denied because my father had a pre-existing condition as he had seen his primary care physician in December, prior to booking the cruise, and his lymph nodes were swollen. I explained that it wasn't until February when we learned that he had cancer, and in December when his lymph nodes were swollen, there was no diagnosis at all and we had no idea that it was anything more than a flu or similar, no indication he was terminally ill and we would not be able to take a vacation six months later. The "examiner" stated that it was a pre-existing condition and the claim was denied. Based on my experience with AON, their entire process is to attempt to deny a claim for any reason, no matter what the situation.Business Response

Complaint: 21769555
I am rejecting this response because:Carnival Cruise lines and Aon are not medical staff and are not trained in determining the relationship of medical issues The paperwork submitted from the oncologist shows the diagnosis date which is when the illness was diagnosed and the date that should be used. I am attempting to get another letter from the doctor (again) but in the interim I do reject this response as they are drawing medical conclusions they are not trained or educated to determine. The medical professionals provided the information on the diagnosis date which is what should be used

I am rejecting this response because I still disagree with their determination. Their determination was made using erroneous assumptions they made about medical conditions which they are not trained to diagnose. *** continues to blame Carnival Cruise Line's policy and Carnival Cruise line continues to blame ***. Seems like a very nice way for both companies to get out of paying claims.
