Babymoon insurance
My husband and I are going on a cruise to the Caribbean in a few weeks on our babymoon. We want to get insurance so we can be evacuated medivaced if I need medical attention in the US. We keep hitting a wall on getting such insurance because "pregnancy is a preexisting condition". Has anyone had this problem/have suggestions? So far, the cruise company, our insurance broker, and AMEX won't sell insurance coverage that would cover this.

Lurker:
not sure how far along you will be, but almost all cruise lines will not let you aboard if you will be over 24 weeks at any point on the cruise.
So you should be able to find coverage up to 28 weeks. After that point, most companies won't touch it, and if they do, you'll have to pay a pretty penny for it.

you can get just an evacuation plan if that is all you are concerned in getting, or full insurance including cancellation.
Good luck!
24 weeks isn't the doctors, it's the cruise ship policies. You must not have entered your 24th week when you board. You can't get on a ship pregnant without a doctors note and I don't know any doctor that would lie about how far along you are. We wanted to cruise for New Years as our babymoon and couldn't cause I'd be too far along.
