It's great knowing you are covered in any event, and it will cost you less and cover you more than what the cruise company offers. A win-win in my opinion.

Difficult to provide good analysis of the plan unless there was a claim and we had no issues during our trip so no claim requested. Did seem a bit costly yet it was recommended by a friend from a previous trip they had (which they also had no claim).

I appreciated the peace of mind I had while traveling. I knew if for some reason I became ill, or had any normal trip interruption my hard earned money will not have been wasted. It was a small amount to pay to protect myslef.

Good peace of mind coverage for the price. Easy to purchase but didn't need to us it. The representative that took my order was great!

Another cruise in the books with full peace of mind that we had our travel insurance, just in case! Thank goodness we did not need it. But, I read a story where a passenger had a heart attack and was stuck in a Dominican Republic hospital with no funds to return to the States because they did not get insurance.

We always use insuremytrip to find a policy that fits our needs based on where we are going.
