<b>Cruise line's policies leave customer adrift</b><br>
<br>
Question: We have made a reservation on a Norwegian fiord/Baltic cruise next summer through my alma mater. It is on a small cruise line, and I am worried about the possibility of financial default. Because of our age, the insurance premium quoted for this trip is about 20% of the cost of the trip. Also, the tour operator's brochure specifies that it does not accept credit cards for the final payment. What options do we have to protect ourselves?<br>
