Saved for yrs. for trip of a lifetime after kids were launched.
Planned it for a yr. Every detail.
Way out of our league, so I bought $$ "cancel for any reason" insurance.
Guess what-no insurance covers pandemics. We lost thousands.
i know its a 1st world problem.But I am bummed.

(29,243 posts)It was a package deal where they specifically told me that cancellation within 14 days would cost me something like $300.
I forgot about it until today... now less than 14 days away... and I called to see what I could do.
They canceled it for me and said no problem, no fee, and would I like a $25 gift card for my trouble.

(10,885 posts)HAL's Amsterdam, out of Florida on a 4-month voyage, suspends the trip halfway through, leaving passengers off in Australia to find their own way home.
If that weren't bad enough, the fares for this trip ranged from $22,500 - $45,000 per person, and most passengers are in their 70's, 80's and 90's.

(17,186 posts)4 days. I checked last night, and my reservations are all there; the places are still open. I hate to let it go, but I may have to.
I'd be hiking by myself, and the trails would be clear.
Governor Gavin Newsom says hiking and fresh air are OK. But, there would be exposures along the way, the inns and restaurants I'd planned to occupy. I guess I'll have to cancel it. What a shame!

(6,279 posts)I read that most travel insurance doesn't cover pandemics, but that if you paid extra for "any reason" that would be honored. You might want to press your insurer on this.
Either way, I'm sorry your plans were dashed this way
