Anyone buy travel insurance?

Make an educated decision - what time of year are you getting married? Where are you going on your honeymoon? If you are going to the Carribbean during the summer months there is a possibility there might be hurricanes. If you are going to Aruba at any time the likelihood of weather issues is nil.

If the potential issue is non-weather related - - i.e., if you have elderly family members and there is the potential of an illness in family, you may want to consider it.

Good move. Take the $200 and buy something beautiful that will always remind you of your trip.

I'm curious, did you buy "full fare" or restricted tickets? If you bought full fare, even if they're economy, you can still get a refund.

She processed your card but won't give you the info until you sign the waiver? This doesn't sound right.

I always, always buy travel insurance, and have made claims in the past. Be absolutely certain that your health insurance (if you're lucky enough to have it) covers you outside of the US. If you have an accident, like tripping over a cobblestone street and end up in an Italian hospital with a fractured anything, the cost will be astronomical and there is a very, very good chance they'll want cash. What happens if one of you lose your job and have to cancel the honeymoon? What if one of you gets hit by the B45 bus crossing the street. There are lots of things that can go wrong that can cause a delay or cancelation of your trip. What percentage of the total cost of the trip is the insurance premium? Can you afford to lose the money spent on the honeymoon?

Ditto.
