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. We have Brittany this week with a review of Carnival Spirit right before it went over to Alaska.

And Dan Skilkin, president of tripinsurance.com, is here to answer the question of the weeks that will jump right to Dan first.

Doug, thank you for having me. It's great to be with you. Dan, this question is from Gail.

She says she travels eight to ten cruises a year, and she wants to know the difference between

an annual travel insurance policy and buying one per trip. Annual plans are generally popular

for trips that are longer than 90 days without a

headache and I don't have to worry about it.

I'm just covered if I leave. Well, the fact of the matter is with an annual plan, most of them require you to register the trip anyway.
