first time cruise.... help
 
I'm looking to go on my first cruise. I found a great deal on vacationstogo.com I also found a reasonable non stop flight.... I still need to get travel insurance.... is there anything I'm missing? I was going to go thru AAA but is it necessary? Any suggestions? Also where might I get travel insurance? Thanks in Advance!

I use www.insuremytrip.com to compare and purchase insurance.

cruisecritic.com great tips and ship reviews.
quotewright.com good independent trip cover
for me from $1-2 pppd usually Patriot or Amex Global
Travel Shield for me. AAA good for car no good
for comp trip cover. travel.state.gov entry safety
tips your ports and mdtravelhealth.com medical issues.

Have you booked yet? I would get a travel agent near your home. They are helpful and usually know a lot more than you do, especially for the first time. They also are privy to good deals. I still wonder why people brag about saving a hundred dollars booking through an unknown in Florida while risking all kinds of mistakes and losing valuable advice.

Haven't booked yet... going to AAA today to see what kind of deal they have. Thanks all for the tips and advice! :)
