Credit cards that offer travel insurance will save you some money but do not have the same coverage as the cruise line. Here are two cards compared to Celebrity Cruises and CSA insurance.
The Platinum card from American Express does not offer emergency medical or dental benefits, trip accident insurance, and baggage delay. It does offer benefits like airport lounge access, hotel credits, entertainment credits, airline fee credits, and more. For a $695 annual fee, it might be worth a look.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred offers similar benefits to the Platinum card from American Express. The trip insurance has an opt-out on emergency evacuation and transportation, and emergency medical and dental benefits. The annual fee is $95 annually.

Celebrity will also offer you a cruise voucher if you need to cancel for pre-existing or other reasons for 90% of the penalties.
I would look at the full details of each insurance to see which will suit you the best for coverage of your trip. Without insurance, you may lose all your vacation investments.
