Krydstogter i Caribien 2024 & 2025

Cruise i Caribien

Et krydstogt i Caribien er for de fleste den ultimative krydstogtferie, og det er da også et paradis af svajende palmer, hvide sandstrande, farvede paraplydrinks, lækre kokosnødder, velsmagende seafood og azurblåt hav så langt øjet rækker.

Vejret er næsten altid perfekt her, havet er varmt og indbydende med ca. 25 grader hele året rundt, indbyggerne er venlige og farverige, og så er der masser af kultur på programmet. For mange dansere er De Vestindiske Øer et absolut højdepunkt i Caribien. Se vores aktuelle tilbud og find det caribiske cruise som passer dig bedst.

Et krydstogt i Caribien er en enestående mulighed for at opleve et helt spektrum af tropiske paradisøer, som hver har sin egen charme. Sejlturene mellem de idylliske øer giver dig en følelse af frihed og eventyr, alt imens du nyder komforten og en afslappet stemning om bord på luksusskibe fra fx. Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, MSC, Royal Caribbean og Norwegian. Med krystalklare, blå farvande som dit daglige bagtæppe, vil du kunne udforske den kulturelle og naturskønne rigdom, der kendetegner de caribiske øhav - uden at skulle gennem lufthavnenes sikkerhedstjek.

Under dit cruise i Caribien vil du få mulighed for at opdage mangfoldigheden i det Caribiske Hav, lige fra hippe strandbarer og farverige markeder, til frodige regnskove og historiske slaveplantager. Du vil bevæge dig mellem eksotiske øer som Jamaica, Barbados, San Juan, Saint Vincent & Antigua. Du kan naturligvis også tage på krydstogt til Dansk Vestindien , hvor solen 'altid' skinner, og livet synes at gå i et bedageligt tempo.

De fleste krydstogter i Caribien giver mulighed for både afslapning og eventyr, hvad enten du foretrækker at snorkle langs koralrev, vandre op til spektakulære udsigtspunkter eller lære om den lokale kultur og historie. Et cruise i det Caribiske øhav er derfor en perfekt blanding af oplevelser, som du endda kan booke hos GO-Cruise som en pakkerejse hvor krydstogt og fly er inkluderet - ligesom dansk rejsegaranti er med. Kontakt os for at høre nærmere.

Where can I cruise without a passport?

At TPG, we always recommend cruising with a passport, but there are many reasons why you might want to set sail without one.

What if an opportunity pops up on short notice, and you don't have a passport yet? Or what if you forgot to renew yours when it expired? What if it's only a three-night cruise to the Bahamas, and the passport application fee is almost as much as the cruise fare? Or, maybe you have children nearing age 16 and can't justify paying for passports that will only be good for five years.

First of all, do you even need a passport to cruise ? The answer is often but not always. You have options to cruise without a passport because not every sailing requires them. Thanks to an international agreement called the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative , U.S. citizens can cruise on certain itineraries within North American countries using government-issued identification (like a valid driver's license) and proof of citizenship (like a government-issued birth certificate).

The cruises that you don't need a passport for are closed-loop sailings, which depart from and return to the same port within the U.S. One-way sailings from one U.S. port to another or from a U.S. port to a foreign one would require a passport.

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Before we go further, let's clarify that when we talk about cruising without a passport, we're referring to pricey passport books that some travelers do not wish to purchase. Passport cards can also be used for identification when cruising in all the places we are about to discuss; these cards are a low-cost alternative to traveling with your driver's license and birth certificate.

Let's look at the options for where you can cruise without a passport.

Cruising to Alaska is one of the easiest ways to experience all the state offers. You'll have opportunities to see glaciers and wildlife; stroll the streets of charming coastal towns; eat your fill of local crab legs and salmon; and enjoy nature on a kayak, zip line or hike.

If you're interested in cruising to Alaska without a passport, look for itineraries that begin (and end) in Seattle , San Francisco or southern California ports, such as Los Angeles or Long Beach, California. The most common length for these closed-loop Alaska cruises operated by the major cruise lines is seven nights. Cruises early or late in the season might be only four or five nights, and trips departing from LA are usually 14 nights.

What if you really want to cruise one-way from Canada to Alaska (or vice versa)? Although Canada prefers U.S. citizens who arrive by sea or land to have a passport book, it is not required as long as they have proper identification and proof of citizenship. The U.S., however, requires one of the following WHTI-approved forms of identification for entries by land or sea: passport card, enhanced driver's license, I-872 American Indian card or trusted traveler program IDs like Nexus, Sentri and Fast.

Technically, if you have one of those forms of ID but not a passport book, you can take a one-way Alaska cruise — as long as you don't have to fly to or from Canada.

More complications arise for non-passport holders who book shore excursions that involve crossing from Alaska to Canada. White Pass and Yukon Route train rides are good examples. White Pass and Yukon Route allows cruise passengers to go on the three-hour train excursion without a passport but doesn't allow them to take any longer routes. That's their policy, not a legal requirement.

This means that Alaska cruises are one instance when the passport card would be a handy alternative to traveling with both an ID card and a birth certificate. It opens up one-way itineraries.

A cruise to the Caribbean transports you to tropical islands bathed in turquoise waters. Whether you seek warm beaches, cool drinks, water sports or cultural education, you can find a Caribbean cruise to fit the bill.

It's easy to cruise without a passport in the Caribbean: Just book one of the many closed-loop, round-trip sailings departing from a U.S. port. Most major cruise lines offer sailings that range between three and 15 nights from ports like Galveston, Texas; New Orleans; multiple ports in Florida (including Miami and Fort Lauderdale); Charleston, South Carolina; Baltimore; Bayonne, New Jersey; and New York City.

Most Caribbean islands participate in the WHTI, but it's always best to check the details specific to the ports of call included in your itinerary. Don't forget that islands such as Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix are U.S. territories, so visits never require passports for U.S. citizens.

Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, lying 643 miles off the coast of North Carolina. Hop on a cruise ship for a direct route to the island's famous beaches and golf courses. Spring and summer are the prime seasons to visit, but cruises are possible throughout the year.

Cruising without a passport to Bermuda is also easy. Apart from a few isolated cruises stopping in Bermuda as they come or go from other destinations, there are no one-way Bermuda cruises to confuse the situation. If you plan to sail without a passport, be wary of any Bermuda cruise longer than 10 nights. Those are likely to be point-to-point cruises that happen to include Bermuda.

Passport-free cruises to Bermuda include ample five- to 10-night sailings from the East Coast ports of Baltimore, Bayonne, Boston and Manhattan. Occasional itineraries also pop up throughout the Bermuda season departing from Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston; and the Florida ports of Miami, Port Canaveral (near Orlando) and Jacksonville.

Long known for delightful strands of beach and access to every imaginable form of water fun under the subtropical sun, the Bahamas are the ideal destination for easy and quick cruise vacations.

Skip the passport on three- to five-night Bahamas cruises sailing round-trip on most major cruise lines from the eastern Florida ports of Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades and Miami.

A few longer, seven- to 15-night itineraries stop in the Bahamas on their way into the Caribbean. Departures from Bayonne, Manhattan, Baltimore and Charleston will often get you weeklong Bahamas itineraries, as will sailings from Tampa, Galveston and New Orleans.

Our southern neighbor boasts two coastlines of cruise fun. Like most tropical cruise destinations, the top draws are the beaches and the ocean; however, cruise ports in Mexico also give you access to ancient Mayan ruins, delicious cuisine and an abundance of land activities.

Mexico's Caribbean and Pacific coasts are both accessible to cruisers who do not hold passports. If you want to visit Mexico's eastern shores, you can find three- to 15-night cruises to Costa Maya, Cozumel and Progreso. Sailings depart Florida from Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral; you can also find itineraries from New Orleans, Galveston and Mobile, Alabama.

Western Mexico, often referred to as the Mexican Riviera, includes the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Ensenada, among others. Cruises with several major lines depart San Diego, San Pedro port in LA and Long Beach for voyages lasting anywhere from three to 10 nights.

From water sports to American history and Hawaiian culture, there's a lot to experience on a Hawaii cruise . The best part might be the ability to hop from island to island, sampling the flavors of each as you go.

Closed-loop Hawaii cruises that don't require passports come in two varieties. The short option is to fly to Honolulu and take a seven- or 10-night cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line 's Pride of America. This is the only large cruise ship allowed to operate entirely within the Hawaiian Islands without visiting a foreign port.

Small-ship cruise operator UnCruise Adventures also offers seven-night, inter-island Hawaiian sailings. The American-flagged ships only cruise to and from U.S. ports, so no passport is needed, as would be the case on any domestic trip.

The long-cruise options consist of 14- to 18-night round-trip sailings from San Diego, LA (Long Beach and San Pedro) and San Francisco. You won't need a passport for these closed-loop sailings, but you do need to be prepared for multiple days at sea as you cross the Pacific from California to Hawaii.

Beware of 20-plus-night cruises that are round-trip sailings from the West Coast and would seem to fit the bill for closed-loop cruises that don't require passports. Most of these cruises don't work because they also include stops in French Polynesia, which is outside of the WHTI agreement. Passports are required for the islands in the South Pacific, which means they're required for the entire cruise.

Canada and New England

Cruises up North America's East Coast allow you to take in historical sights of early Americana, stand atop rugged cliffs on the coast of Nova Scotia or revel in the French culture of Quebec.

Mainstream cruise lines operate numerous cruises along the U.S. and Canadian coasts that don't require passports. These depart from the ports of Bayonne, Baltimore, Boston, Manhattan, Brooklyn and occasionally Norfolk. The majority of these New England and Canada cruises are weeklong fall sailings; however, a handful depart at other times of the year or are a touch longer, ranging from eight to 10 nights.

Related: The best cruises to Canada and New England

Some cruise lines also offer one-way cruises in both directions between Canada and New England. These itineraries, like Alaska cruises, might be possible without a passport book. This is the case as long as your plans don't include flying into or out of Canada and your cruise line allows you to cruise with either a passport card or other acceptable form of identification and proof of citizenship.

We checked with a few lines for you. Princess, Holland America and Celebrity all strongly recommend passport books, but they allow one of the WHTI forms of identification. Again, the passport card opens up one-way possibilities, assuming you aren't flying and your cruise only includes Canada and the U.S.

Bottom line

While cruising with a passport is always recommended, it's not required by law in certain circumstances. Closed-loop cruises from U.S. ports that visit Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico are part of an international agreement that allows U.S. citizens to cruise without a passport. In these cases, government-issued identification and proof of U.S. citizenship are acceptable alternatives to a passport book.

Passport cards are an affordable and unquestionable alternative to carrying an ID and birth certificate. If you want to go this route, know they are not valid for travel by air into or out of any foreign country, including Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or Caribbean countries — which is the primary reason most travel advisers urge cruisers to have a passport book.

As we've shown, you have plenty of options for where to cruise without a passport, and many travelers do so without incident. However, anything from engine trouble on your cruise ship to bad weather or an accident in port might necessitate a flight home from a foreign country. This would put you in an awkward position if you didn't have a passport.

Plus, as much fun as simple round-trip cruises are, passports open up additional vacation possibilities in the form of longer, point-to-point and overseas trips. Don't dismiss registering for a passport, even as you consider where you can cruise without one.

Deciding whether a cruise vacation is right for you can be a complex choice, filled with considerations about what you value most in your travel experiences. Cruises offer a unique blend of convenience, variety, and entertainment, but they also come with certain limitations.

To help you navigate this decision, let's explore some of the most significant pros and cons of embarking on a cruise adventure. Understanding these aspects will guide you in making an informed choice that best suits your travel desires.

• Less Planning, Less Stress: One of the standout benefits of choosing a Princess Cruise is the drastically reduced need for planning. When you book a cruise, all of the major aspects of your vacation—from destinations to dining and entertainment—are pre-arranged and included. This means you can focus more on enjoying your holiday and less on the logistics of planning every detail.
• Easy to Budget and All-Inclusive: Cruising with Princess offers exceptional value with its all-inclusive pricing. Your accommodations, meals, and onboard entertainment are all covered in one upfront cost. This not only makes it easier to budget without worrying about unexpected expenses but also ensures a world of options at no extra charge.
• Fun for Everyone: Whether you're traveling as a family, a couple, or a large group, cruises provide a versatile vacation solution that caters to everyone. With a variety of activities, kids' clubs, adult-only areas, and entertainment that spans all ages, everyone can find something to love without having to split up.
• See Multiple Exciting Places in One Trip: A cruise allows you to wake up in a new destination almost every day. From the bustling streets of Barcelona to the serene beaches of the Caribbean, you can experience a variety of cultures and locations in a single journey, making every day an adventure.
• Meet New People: Cruises are a fantastic way to meet new people from around the world. With group excursions and onboard activities designed to foster interaction, you’re likely to make new friends and share memorable experiences together.
• Choppy Seas and Seasickness: While modern cruise ships are designed to minimize the feeling of being at sea, choppy waters can still be a challenge for some. Seasickness can affect many travelers, although remedies and preventive measures are available to help mitigate this.
• Limited Time at On-Shore Locations: Although cruises allow you to visit multiple destinations, the time spent in each port is often limited. This can be a downside for those who prefer to deeply explore a new place, as you might only have a few hours to see the sights before returning to the ship.
• Lack of Control Over Itinerary: When you choose a cruise, you are committing to a pre-set schedule and route. This can be less flexible compared to other types of vacations where you can change your plans on the fly or decide to stay longer in a place that captures your heart.
• Often Crowded Ships: Especially during peak seasons, cruise ships can be quite crowded. This can mean more time waiting in lines and difficulty securing spots at popular events or venues on the ship, which might detract from the relaxation aspect of a vacation.
• Hidden Costs: While many aspects of your cruise are included in the initial price, there are often additional costs for things like specialty dining, certain beverages, internet access, and spa services. These can add up, affecting your overall budget.
• Pricey On-Shore Excursions: While exploring the ports, you might find that organized excursions through the cruise line can be expensive. These activities are an additional cost and can quickly increase your total spending on the trip.

How Cruises Compare to Other Vacations

When planning a vacation, the choices are often as varied as the destinations themselves. So are cruises worth it? Although traditional vacations offer a tailored experience, cruising presents a unique all-inclusive package that can simplify travel planning significantly. Understanding the differences between these options in terms of scheduling, cost, flexibility, and logistical requirements can help travelers make the best decision for their needs.

Scheduling and Itinerary Planning

Traditional vacations require meticulous scheduling. From selecting flights to align with your available days, to planning each day’s activities, the flexibility comes with the need for detailed preparation. This can be exhilarating for some but daunting for others.

In contrast, cruises offer a predetermined schedule where the itinerary is set before you even pack your bags. You know your departure and return dates, and the ports you’ll visit, without the hassle of coordinating these details yourself. This can be particularly appealing for those looking for a more relaxed approach to vacation planning.

Cost Considerations

Budgeting for a traditional vacation involves several separate expenses: flights, hotels, meals, local transportation, entertainment, and more. These costs vary widely depending on the destination and your choices, and they can add up quickly and unpredictably.

Cruises, however, often come at a fixed price that includes most of your travel needs. While there are additional charges for certain services like specialty dining or excursions, the overall cost is generally more predictable and can offer significant savings compared to piecing together the elements of a traditional vacation.

Flexibility and Personalization

Flexibility is one area where traditional vacations shine. Travelers can choose every aspect of their trip, from the type of accommodation to the dining venues and daily activities. This allows for a highly personalized experience tailored to individual interests. Cruises, while less flexible in terms of itinerary changes, still offer a range of activities and excursions that can cater to diverse interests, from adventure sports to cultural tours or relaxation on pristine beaches.

Flights and Accommodations

Booking flights and hotels can be one of the most time-consuming parts of planning a traditional vacation, with prices fluctuating and options varying by destination. This complexity also increases with the need to align multiple flights or accommodations if visiting several locations.

Cruises eliminate these concerns by providing your transportation and lodging in one. Once on board, your floating hotel transports you from one destination to another without the need to constantly pack and unpack.

Planning Meals

Meal planning on a traditional vacation can be both an adventure and a challenge, especially in unfamiliar destinations where food options might be unknown or unsuitable. In contrast, cruises offer a variety of dining options that are included in the price, catering to all tastes and dietary requirements. This serves to both simplify budgeting and ensure that dining out remains a pleasure, not a chore.

While both traditional vacations and cruises offer their own sets of advantages, cruises ultimately stand out for their exceptional convenience and value. The all-inclusive nature of cruises, where accommodations, transportation, meals, and entertainment are all taken care of for one price, provides a hassle-free way to explore multiple destinations. This, combined with eliminating the need to coordinate flights, hotels, and meal planning, makes cruising a compelling and cost-effective vacation option. For many, the simplicity of planning and the breadth of experiences offered make cruises not just an alternative but a preferable choice compared to the complexities of planning a traditional vacation.

Is a Cruise for You?

Ultimately, there are numerous benefits to Princess Cruises, as well as certain considerations that come with this style of vacation. From the ease and convenience of having a pre-planned itinerary and all-inclusive pricing to the excitement of waking up in a new destination almost daily, cruising presents a unique vacation format that appeals to many.

You can expect a variety of advantages, including minimal planning and cost-effectiveness. Even the potential downsides pale in comparison to the many conveniences of a cruise. With everything from luxurious staterooms to fine dining and entertainment just steps away from your door, the value proposition of a cruise becomes clear. It's not just about seeing the world, but about making the journey as delightful and effortless as the destinations themselves.

Now that you know everything about cruising, what do you think? Are cruises worth it? Does the idea of unpacking once and having everything taken care of sound like the perfect vacation? If you're nodding yes, then why not consider making your next vacation a cruise?

A cruise with Princess Cruises could very well be the best fit for your next adventure. Embark on an experience you’ll love with Princess Cruises, make sure to check out our current cruise deals when booking your adventure.

Help! Our Cruise Operator Went Bankrupt and We Are Out $17,905.

A couple purchased an Arabian Sea voyage, but Vantage, the cruise company, went under. Their travel insurance was supposed to cover financial default, but the claim was repeatedly denied.

By Seth Kugel

Dear Tripped Up,

In September 2022, I booked a 17-day Arabian Sea cruise through Vantage Travel Services to celebrate my 80th birthday with my wife. The cruise was to set sail in October 2023. I used my credit card to leave a $2,000 deposit and paid the remaining $17,905 shortly afterward by bank transfer. I also bought the Worldwide Trip Protector plan from Travel Insured International (for $1,954), in part because it covered financial default and bankruptcy of cruise lines. Vantage then canceled the cruise and offered me an alternative date I could not make; I also declined their offer of credit and asked for a refund, which they agreed to. But no refund ever came, and they stopped answering the phone. My credit card returned the $2,000, and I filed an insurance claim for $17,905. It was denied, as was my first appeal. Then Vantage filed for bankruptcy, and my second appeal was denied too. The reasons given by the insurer were outrageous. They cited a vague parenthetical phrase in the policy’s bankruptcy clause, claiming I wasn’t covered because I purchased the cruise directly from the cruise line (rather than, say, through a travel adviser). Then they said my policy lapsed when I canceled the trip. But I did not cancel; Vantage did. I also filed a complaint with the New York State Department of Financial Services, which was rejected. Can you help? Michael, Smithtown, N.Y.

Dear Michael,

When Boston-based Vantage filed for bankruptcy last year, it owed thousands of customers a total of $108 million for cruises and other travel products they had paid for but never received. The company’s former owner is facing lawsuits in New York and Pennsylvania. But you had purchased an insurance policy to cover just such a risk, a smart move. Or so you thought until the insurance company, Travel Insured International, denied your claim and then used exasperating logic to fend off your two appeals, first interpreting the policy’s financial default and bankruptcy clause in a maddening way and then twisting the meaning of the word “cancel.”

You made a few mistakes as well — most notably, by making a claim based on a financial default that had not yet happened. But after speaking with law professors, insurance experts and competing insurance companies, I believe Travel Insured International was wrong, at least by the time of your second appeal, and should pay up.

What does it have to say for itself? For nearly five months, Travel Insured International and its parent company, Crum & Forster, did not respond to my detailed inquiries. Days before publication, however, a spokeswoman, Amy Whilldin, sent the following statement:

“The claim was properly considered, and the correct determination was made based on the facts of this claim, which was to the satisfaction of both the New York Department of Financial Services and the New York State attorney general.”

Ms. Whilldin is correct about the state’s financial services department . An examiner with the department, which regulates the insurance industry, rejected your complaint. “After a review of the policy language," he wrote, “we do not find they are acting in an arbitrary or capricious manner,” referring to Travel Insured International. I disagree with that determination, as we are about to get into.

But the attorney general’s office was not satisfied. You had complained to its Department of Consumer Frauds and Protection, and they did not receive a response from the company. “Despite our repeated efforts,” an employee wrote, “they have failed to respond.” The letter goes on to recommend you consider suing the company.

I have a better idea. You should file a formal grievance with Travel Insured International, which under your policy allows you to submit new evidence, and if that fails even argue your case in person. (You told me you are not interested in a third option, to accept travel credits under the conditions offered by the Australian company that bought Vantage’s assets.)

In the meantime, your story provides great lessons on how travelers should choose the appropriate travel insurance policy, and what can go wrong even when they do.

In your initial claim to Travel Insured International, filed in late 2022, you cited Vantage’s “very poor record” in refunding its customers and your “assumption that the company is in default in making payments.”

This was an error: Your policy defines financial default as “the total cessation of operations,” and Vantage at the time was running at least some cruises. Travel Insured International’s response simply said that “your travel supplier canceling your trip is not a covered reason.” True.

When you first appealed in April, Vantage was two months short of declaring bankruptcy outright, and was not yet in financial default as defined by the policy. But it was teetering. (That one of its cruises left at all made headlines in The Boston Globe .) This time, Travel Insured International denied your claim, citing the bankruptcy clause, which protects policy holders in case of “Bankruptcy or default of an airline, cruise line, tour operator or other travel provider (other than the Travel Supplier, tour operator, travel agency, organization or firm from whom you purchased your travel arrangements).”

That parenthetical says you are not covered if the organization that sold you the cruise goes bankrupt. You purchased the cruise directly from Vantage, so you are not covered, according to the claims adjuster’s reasoning. (Why the company even cited this clause, if the cruise line was not yet in default, remains a mystery.)

Similar clauses appear in many travel policies, but that’s not what they’re supposed to mean, said Loretta Worters, vice president for media relations at the Insurance Information Institute , an industry group.

Such provisions, she explained, are intended to exclude coverage for an unscrupulous or financially flailing middleman that goes belly-up after collecting your money but before passing it along to the actual travel provider.

“Some of these are fly-by-night, travel-agencies-in-their-kitchen kinds of things,” Ms. Worters said. ( We encountered one such agency in a previous Tripped Up column .)

Guess who agreed with Ms. Worters: The agent who answered the phone when I called Travel Insured International’s customer care line as a potential customer. I asked about the clause and she agreed it was ambiguous, checking with a supervisor before saying: “If you are booking directly with the company and the company itself goes under default or bankruptcy, you would be able to file a claim for the nonrefundable portion of your trip.”

Ms. Whilldin, the spokeswoman for Travel Insured International, did not specifically answer my question about this apparent conflict. But it seems their claims adjuster made a mistake, aided by the ambiguous language of the underwriter who wrote the policy. (That’s United States Fire Insurance, another Crum & Forster company.)

Now, let’s discuss the second appeal. “Once you cancel your trip, the coverage under the plan ends,” Travel Insured International said. Your argument is that you did not cancel; Vantage did.

I think almost anyone who isn’t a lawyer would agree with you. But Oren Bar-Gill , a professor at Harvard Law School and the author of “Seduction by Contract: Law, Economics and Psychology in Consumer Markets,” explained to me the opposing argument. Vantage was contractually allowed to change the dates or offer credit, and you refused, the equivalent of canceling.

But, he added, when Vantage agreed to refund your cruise, it could be “considered a waiver of their contractual rights,” weakening the argument that you canceled your contract.

In a lawsuit New York State filed against the now-defunct Vantage and its former owner, Henry Lewis, the issue also comes up: The suit says Vantage “deceptively” mislabeled cancellations as “postponements.”

Even Travel Insured International admitted that Vantage had canceled, in its original letter rejecting your claim. “It is our understanding that your travel supplier, Vantage, canceled your cruise,” the claims adjuster wrote. Somehow, however, by the third response you had gone from cancelee to canceler.

You also missed a red flag when you chose your policy. Suzanne Morrow, the chief executive of InsureMyTrip , where you found your plan, told me you called the company within minutes of your purchase and asked an agent to point you to the bankruptcy clause. (You confirmed this to me.)

That means you’re not the typical insurance customer blindsided by small print you never read. If you were so concerned about the cruise line’s solvency, you could have canceled your plan during the insurer’s “free look” period and chosen one with more straightforward language — I found several on the InsureMyTrip website.

What lessons can we take away from your debacle?

To begin with, pay for everything with a credit card when your credit limit allows. Because of an odd quirk in a 1974 law , card issuers are required to reimburse you if the company you interacted with goes bankrupt.

Beyond that, the basic advice for travel insurance remains unchanged: Shop for a plan separately through a provider you trust or an aggregator like InsureMyTrip, rather than adding trip protection by checking a box just before you purchase a big-ticket item. Read the policy summaries fully and click through to the actual policy document to read fine print on issues that concern you most (say, bankruptcy protection or medical coverage for pre-existing conditions).

If you don’t understand anything, call the company. If it cannot answer satisfactorily and follow up in writing, choose another provider.

Americans keep getting arrested on a Caribbean island after forgetting they've left bullets from home in their luggage

• A fifth American tourist was arrested in Turks and Caicos for possessing ammunition.
• Two have already pleaded guilty, and others have said they forgot they had the bullets in their bags.
• The incidents have prompted the State Department to issue a reminder not to fly with ammo.

A fifth American tourist has been arrested on suspicion of possession of ammunition in a small Caribbean territory, CBS News reported.

The Royal Turks and Caicos Police told CBS the unnamed person was arrested at the airport on Monday, "after ammunition was allegedly found during a routine security check."

Such arrests have been making local headlines in Turks and Caicos , a British Overseas Territory with a population of around 50,000. Breaking its strict laws about possessing a firearm or ammunition carries a minimum prison sentence of 12 years.

After four other Americans were arrested on charges of possessing ammunition, the Turks and Caicos government issued a press release in April saying a the judge could impose a shorter custodial sentence in "exceptional circumstances."

The rise in such incidents also prompted the US State Department to issue a travel advisory urging visitors "to carefully check their luggage for stray ammunition or forgotten weapons."

The four men have said that they brought the ammunition into Turks and Caicos by accident.

72-year-old Michael Evans was arrested in December, and last month pleaded guilty to the possession of seven rounds of 9mm ammunition. He is due to be sentenced on June 18.

Bryan Hagerich was arrested in February. He pleaded guilty to possessing 20 rifle rounds.

The other two men were arrested in April. Ryan Watson, 40, was arrested after ammunition was found in his luggage at the airport.

He told NBC Boston that the bullets were unknowingly left in a duffel bag from a deer hunting trip, and weren't detected by airport security in the US.

Days after Watson's arrest, 31-year-old Tyler Wenrich was detained as he tried to reboard a cruise ship.

He told NBC Boston that he'd used the same bag to carry his firearm to a shooting range. "I checked it before I left, and it was just a complete oversight on me, TSA, and the port security. You know, three groups missed that ammunition," Wenrich said.

"It's hard to believe that it's happening. And it's definitely a nightmare," he added.

American Airlines Is Adding 8 New Caribbean Routes This Winter

Including one new destination in the Dominican Republic for the first time.

American Airlines is adding new routes and more flights to the Caribbean in time for a winter warm-weather escape.

The airline will add a total of eight new flights, including flying to a brand-new destination of La Romana in the Dominican Republic, according to American . The new flight, which will launch daily from Miami on Dec. 5, will be operated on an Airbus A319 aircraft and make American the only United States airline to fly directly to La Romana.

“Customers will have more reasons to choose American than ever before for nonstop fun in the sun this year,” Brian Znotins, American’s senior vice president of network and schedule planning, said in a statement. “We are excited to continue growing our network to the region with more flights this winter to the Caribbean and Latin America than any other U.S. carrier ever.”

In addition, American will add seven other new routes this winter: 

• Charlotte to St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Saturday-only service starting Dec. 7 on a Boeing 737
• New York to Barbados: Daily service starting Nov. 5 on a Boeing 737
• New York to St. Lucia: Saturday-only service starting Dec. 7 on a Boeing 737
• New York to St. Maarten: Saturday-only service starting Dec. 7 on an Airbus A319
• New York to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Saturday-only service starting Dec. 7 on a Boeing 737
• Philadelphia to Barbados: Saturday-only service starting Nov. 9 on an Airbus A321
• Philadelphia to Costa Rica: Saturday-only service starting Dec. 7 on a Boeing 737

In total, American said it will operate 11 percent more departures this winter, compared to the same time period last year. 

That’s buoyed by extra frequencies to popular destinations, like Chicago to Los Cabos, which the airline will increase to twice-daily service between Dec. 19 and Jan. 6, 2025; and Dallas to Nassau, which the carrier will increase to daily service starting Dec. 5.

The new routes come as American is planning to introduce a "preferred" front-row suite in its Flagship business class on the airline's new Boeing 787-9 aircraft and on retrofitted 777-300 aircraft. It also comes months after the airline revamped its loyalty program , introducing "members-only" benefits for AAdvantage frequent fliers like free same-day standby for earlier domestic flights and free 24-hour ticket holds.
