Can I Cancel My Carnival Cruise Insurance?

Carnival Cruise Lines offers a cancellation policy that covers passengers for various reasons, including severe weather or illness. If you need to cancel for any reason not listed in the plan, you will receive 100% of the cost of your trip back in cash. If you need to cancel for any reason not listed in the plan, you will receive 75% back in a Future Cruise Credit Certificate. Cruise Vacation Protection is fully refundable if you cancel outside Carnival’s published penalty period.

For guests booked directly with Carnival, to check if your booking is subject to a cancellation penalty, log in to your carnival.com profile and under the My Cruise Details section. If you cancel your booking prior to your final payment, there is no penalty unless you have booked a specific promotion with a non-refundable deposit. If you decide to cancel a cruise well in advance, you may be eligible for a refund of what you’ve paid, even if you don’t have cruise insurance.

Carnival offers a “Any Reason Cruise Credits” plan, which reimburses passengers for airfare and cruise costs if they need to cancel their cruise for a covered reason. To contact Carnival, call 1-800-764-7419 or visit their Contact Us Customer Service Team page for details and operating hours.

Travel insurance is another option offered by many cruise lines when booking your trip. For more flexibility, Carnival offers a “Cancellation for Any Reason (CFAR)” program that waives the non-refundable cancellation provision of your cruise ticket contract and pays you the value of the unused premium.

However, there are legal regulations about when insurance can be cancelled once applied. Once you apply the insurance to a booking, there is no refund of your premium. All premium is refundable only during the ten-day review period from the date of purchase. If you cancel your booking prior to your final payment, there is no penalty, but you will not receive your money back from the cruise line.
