13 costly travel insurance lessons after missing my cruise ship

After an epic flight delay on Air Canada caused 4 fellow passengers and I to miss our cruise ship, we learned 13 expensive lessons about travel insurance and Canadian flight delay compensation. The hardest lesson was that most of our travel insurance policies didn't cover most of the costs to meet the ship - including the insurance products sold by the cruise line (Princess Cruises). Only one policy came close to covering most of the expenses in the end - and it was the option we least expected.

The travel insurance products in our group were: Princess Vacation Protection, Princess EZAir, RBC WestJet World Elite MasterCard and RBC Deluxe Single Trip.
