The challenge
The challenge
Olga advises her cruise clients to arrive in their departure city at least one day before sailing. This couple decided to fly in on the same day their cruise was scheduled to leave.
After weeks of favorable weather, severe thunderstorms and lightning unexpectedly caused airport closures lasting approximately 24 hours. The couple could not reach the port in time and missed their entire cruise.

What Olga did
Someone on their side.
- Helped the couple navigate the travel insurance claims process
- Guided them through collecting the necessary documents
- Submitted their claim
- Helped them rebook their vacation for another date once the claim was resolved
The outcome
The couple recovered 100% of their cruise costs through their travel insurance policy.
Once the claim was resolved, Olga helped them rebook their vacation for another date.
