If you contacted the flu just before your departing date, would you cancel? We are less than a week before we leave for Tampa and have been trying to avoid crowds. It is very hard to do at this time of the year with the Christmas parties and get togethers with the family. The flu is wide spread here in the Midwest. I have had a flu shot, however, Rita is allergic and has not. Would a cancellation due to the flu be valid for your cruise insurance? What do you think? Inquiring minds want to know! :P :P
