Cruise Radio. Hey, how's it going? My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode

of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, my friend. Staff writer Richard Sims is off this week.

He will be back on Sunday. So stepping in for him, well, not really doing the news, but fielding

your listener questions, especially about hurricane season and cruising during the season.

President of Tripinsurance.com, Dan Skilkin. We also have a review of Carnival Breeze coming up

later on in the show. By the way, before we get to Dan, if you want to have the news Monday

through Friday, we have the feed just opposite of this one. It's called Cruise News Today,

and we deliver the Days Cruise news in two minutes or less.

We're not wasting any of your time. And speaking of that, Dan Skokin is on the line, president of

Tripinsurance.com. Hey, Dan. You have some big shoes to fill today, but I think you'll handle it.

They're all trip insurance questions. The first one comes from Billy. When is it too late to

purchase travel insurance during

hurricane season and what coverage would be impacted if a storm is already named and I went to

purchase a policy? Billy, it's never too late to purchase travel insurance, but I think your question is

actually, is it too late to get coverage for a hurricane if the storm is named?

Typically, every insurance policy out there has a provision in it that says that if a hurricane

is named by the National Weather Service, then it's a known risk and insurance only insures you for unknown risks. So if you buy the plan

after the hurricane is named, it's considered a known risk and the insurance won't cover it. But if you

buy the plan before the hurricane is named, then it's an unknown risk and you definitely

covered for that hurricane.
