I think you might have gotten the numbers incorrect. As a outside agent for a villages Travel agency, I have to tell you, thats way to much.

If you got those numbers from your agent, call the cruise line directly and ask them for a trip insurance quote.....not a year quote, which maybe what you were given.

If you would perfer, send me a pm with the ship and the dates and I will look up the hopefully, more correct number and let you know what it should be so you can call back your company and tell them they made a mistake..

I do also believe you can go onto the cruise lines web site and attempt to book the cruise yourself and add travel insurance to your price and see what you get but if you are unable, send the info to me.
