866-227-1888 is the fastest way I’ve found to sort out any last-minute booking changes, and I used it when I bought Carnival’s Vacation Protection for the first time. I’m usually the person who skips insurance, but last year a storm rolled in days before our cruise. I panicked and called to see what my options were. The rep walked me through how the protection worked — cancellations, delays, even medical situations onboard. It actually saved me when my connecting flight got delayed and I needed reimbursement for an overnight hotel. Without that coverage, the extra costs would’ve hurt. Now I always add it when booking because the peace of mind alone is worth it. If you’re on the fence, check the details and see if it fits your travel style.
