I am going on a cruise in 3 weeks and I am insured with Staysure. I used them last year too. Don't use the Internet to get insurance other than to get their number. Talk to them instead. I got a really good price and that includes my husband who is over 70. But remember everyone's circumstances are different. Good luck and enjoy your cruise. I can't wait for mine

I use stay sure too, I prefer to speak to them on the phone too, I still have to mention my cancer as I am in remission but still get checked, as well as my cirrhosis, I have several problems and they accept me every year, I am 64 and my husband is 69. He has had a hip replacement and Tia, we are happy with Staysure, remember to phone rather than do it on line, good luck, xx

My insurance is £239 and that is only £30 more than previous year, they said it was because my husbands age, also I had a splenetic Aneurysom coiled in January,,

I have PBC and found it difficult to get travel insurance last year but found all I needed from Tesco insurance.

Hi try medical travel compared, I'm only going Cyprus and got insurance from puffin for £38.51 I've declared Pbc but comes up as cirosis. I've got 10m cover with £100 excess (silver option) seems ok what I've read.

There is a separate option for cruise cover.

Good luck

Hello cazer.

Try looking on Liver North website. They put up-to-date info on insurers who are willing to insure.

Hi I use world first. Always good and when I did have to use it one you were excellent.

[GrittyReads in reply to Mcinnel2]

Hi, Do you mean you had to claim from them?

I liked them a lot when I used them 3 years ago. The person I talked to was really helpful and patient, and seemed to know a lot about PBC - even if it was only because this company had an up-to -date database compared to the others I'd tried up until then. There was something I didn't like - but decided it was so minor I'd not worry ... think it was: not being covered for a plane diversion if I was ill on flight. But for all I know, all companies have that in now.

[GrittyReads]

As Mcinnel has said above, World First. Also, in the past, folk on here have suggested Columbus.

Make sure you read everything in the policy before you commit. I'm sure a lot of them rely on people not reading 70+ page policies. Remember, no matter how nice, their bottom line is always profit.

Thanks all for your help...hol booked!!!too much money but life IS to short .xx
