I talked to Costco Travel yesterday and the agent told me that I had to go ahead and book ($800 deposit) the cruise and then go to Princess site and select the options that I wanted.
I would like to know the bottom line before I book.
Has anybody had any experience during this?
And another question, we have always used the insurance provided by the cruise lines. Are there other options for cruise insurance that may be more economical?
Thanks for any input.

As previously mentioned, some credit card companies provide travel insurance if you purchase the trip (airfare, ground transportation and cruise) on the card. I have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card that provides us with insurance. It's yearly fee is somewhat high but becaue we usually take a couple of cruises ir sort of pays for itself. Not long ago we had 2 cruises in Asia and for additional protection I purchased a health only policy through Allianz to supplement the credit card coverage. It was very reasonable. I had an accident in Vietnam and had to seek medical attention at the ships infirmary. i submitted a claim on the Allianz policy while we were still on the ship and a few days later we were reimbursed. I'd use Allianz again if I needed a policy. Happy cruising.
