Episode notes
Annual vs Per-Trip Insurance
- Annual travel insurance plans often require trip registration and have trip length limits.
- Buying per-trip insurance provides tailored coverage and can be more cost-effective for multiple trips.
Annual Plan Limit Example
- Ashley had an annual policy that paid $3,000 max for a 10-day COVID hotel stay, which got exhausted.
- Per-trip plans reset benefits for each trip, offering new coverage limits every time.
Solo Cruising Tips
- When cruising solo, be aware of your surroundings and avoid excessive drinking.
- Enjoy solo time; cruising alone can be safe and relaxing if you stay mindful.
