Comprehensive travel insurance cover is strongly recommended for all tours to cover you against possible associated risks of travel including cover for medical expenses and costs, loss of luggage, and expenses incurred due to cancellations, delays or other disruptions.  

According to Cover More insurance; “Cruise ships are not obligated to have doctors registered to practice in Australia on board. This means if you visit a doctor on board, it may not be covered by Medicare and you may end up with out-of-pocket expenses.” 

Why choose to book your cruise through Connect Coaches?

One very good reason to book your cruise through us is because we do all the hard work for you. Another

great reason is, that although you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want on the cruise, you

are not going to be on your own. Liam & Alison will be there to assist if you have any questions or need a

hand.Once you have told us you wish to book, you just need to complete your Booking Form & pay your deposit

then sit back & think about all the fun you’re going to have on your cruise. As the cruise draws closer, you

will need to pay your balance, let us know if you wish to book any onshore excursions & organise your travel

insurance. Two weeks before departure date, we will check everyone in, let you know your boarding time

(as well as other info.). If you live within our pick up area, we will pick you up from home & transport you

down to the cruise terminal where we will board as a group. It’s then time to sit back, relax & enjoy the next

5 days onboard the Carnival Splendor. You will meet up with everyone in the Connect Coaches group each

night at dinner where you can have a chat about what you might like to do the next day. Once we arrive

back in Sydney, you’ll be driven back home to the Central Coast where you can tell all your family & friends

what a wonderful time you've had.
