There are all sorts of activities on board cruise ships, from golf to ballroom dancing. However, if there are more extreme sports you are thinking of trying out, it's important that you check these are covered by your policy as many exclude these due to the level of risk.
You will also need to let your insurer know before you purchase your policy if you have any pre-existing medical conditions. Not doing so could invalidate your insurance and leave you severely out of pocket if you had to put in a claim.
Be sure to check how much cover you have for cancellation too. A cruise can be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for many, therefore it would be terrible if, for unforeseen reasons such as illness, you had to cancel and lost the money you had paid for the trip. The cover on your policy should be at least equal to the amount you paid for the trip, including excursions and trips. And it's always wise to buy your travel insurance at the same time as you book your holiday - that way you're covered for cancellation from the moment you book, as well as having protection while you're away.
Finally, make sure you are honest about your age. Many policies will have an upper age limit and if you exceed this you will need to consider a different insurance policy.
