Very interesting that AAA, at least in Texas, uses Access America. We
used to use Access America for all our cruises and were happy with them.
One time we had to cancel a cruise before final payment and transfered
our insuance to a diffeent cruise. No problem as long as you use it
within a year, but we later found out that by transfering our insurance
to a different cruise we lost our pre-existing coverage.

We later found that using TraveLite by Travelex allows us to change
cruises(before final payment) and not lose our pre-existing coverage. I
just check our policy for our 7 day Oasis cruise this coming Oct. and
see that we paid $184 TOTAL for the two of us.
