What if you fall ill between now and the cruise? What if you end up in an accident [hope not though!] the day before and you can't go?
If a close relative becomes seriously ill and you need to cancel the trip, have you got cover?
It's not likely your luggage will be lost, you'd have the airline to come back on there, although probably not enough to cover, and a couple of days to buy a few bits. Does your household insurance cover any losses/stolen stuff when on board? If the cruise gets cancelled, can you cancel the fights with no penalty.
Think of the worst scenarios and check you have cover somewhere for them. Maybe on the CC you paid for the trip with, we don't get much here, just death cover usually, US cards give a lot more.
Only you can determine whether it's worth you getting it, depending on the various types you have already.
Hope nothing does happen and you have a great holiday
