Hi Sarah and Cindy. I have mentioned my cancer diagnosis when booking before and this time, as usual, I have politely declined the JY offer of insurance because I have found a brilliant company that doesn't charge and arm and a leg to cover me. This is my first long haul since my treatment and subsequent all-clear status, although I have now done 7 or is it 8 European JY trips. It is also the first time anyone has ever picked up on the cancer thing.
I also got the special assistance question, and that makes sense I I have heard from some TMs, and also seen for myself, about people travelling who really are in no fit state to do the excursions despite the disclaimer on the website / brochure about the level of walking you really ought to be able to cope with for any specific holiday.I have no problem with that question, but I just don't get why I have to speak to a medical screening person from JY when I have made it perfectly clear that I do not want their insurance and that I understand the level of fitness required and declared myself able to cope.
We shall see. I am still waiting for a phone call!
Toni
