Cruise Passengers Could Have Grounds for Legal Action After Purchasing NCL Travel Protection

Did you or your loved one purchase NCL travel protection after booking and traveling on a cruise with Norwegian? The NCL travel protection plan is under investigation by attorneys for a possible class action after consumer complaints were reported.

Purchasing a travel protection plan at the same time you purchase your cruise ticket might seem like a good idea, but some consumers are pushing back and claiming that they were not informed about exactly what they were buying the in NCL travel protection plan.

According to consumer complaints about the NCL travel protection plan, consumers may have been duped into purchasing this combination of travel support and insurance at an additional cost.

The NCL travel protection plan consists of a combination of cancellation fee waivers, travel assistance provided by On-Call International Inc., and travel insurance policies offered through numerous companies. The NCL travel protection plan was allegedly sold to customers as a collection of these three products, despite the fact that it was sold as a single package for a single price.

Consumers upset about the purchase of their NCL travel protection plan claim that they were misled into believing that the vacation protection plan price was made up of a fee for each of the companies providing the service and that each of those providers was an independent third party insurer.

According to complaints related to the NCL travel protection plan and other similar plans sold by Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Lines, the cruise companies have received undisclosed kickbacks for every travel insurance policy sold to cruise-goers. Consumers claim that Norwegian and other cruise lines deceptively marketed the travel protection plans by failing to disclose this kickback to consumers.

If you purchased an NCL travel protection plan for your Norwegian cruise and believe that the company used deceptive opt-out marketing tactics, sold travel insurance policies that could never lead to payment for any claim insured under the policy, or sold the policy with non-insurance products without identifying the price paid for each product, you could be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit investigation.

You may be eligible to pursue possible compensation for your NCL travel protection plan if you purchased in from Norwegian online after 2014 and purchased a cruise line ticket online at the same time. Many consumers have come forward with frustrations that they were never told about what the product included and were misled as to the overall purchase.

If your NCL travel protection plan was purchased in the time period mentioned above and you believe that you could have been a victim of deceptive marketing practices, you may be able to take part in a class action lawsuit investigation and a possible lawsuit in the future.
