Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I can't say enough how pleased we are with the coverage of the plan. As we all know buying insurance is a crap shoot but it is all so very necessary. During our cruise I came down with the Norovirus. After it was all said and done we had $700 in medical charges from the medical facilities aboard ship. After returning home and following the instructions to file a claim, which was very easy and simple. Within the the time frame of the claim I received a check for the full amount of the claim!! What a awesome job Nationwide, we will purchase the Essential plan again on our next cruise in 2021!! Thank you for such a fantastic job.

It was very helpful as they send you a reminder of what information to take with you on the trip. They provide 24 hour phone numbers to call and are very clear on what the coverages include.

This is so much cheaper than what the travel gents or cruise lines have. The plans are very easy to compare too.

I was satisfied with the coverage and the cost of the plan, however, the true measure of satisfaction with any plan is satisfaction with a claim and customer service when making a claim. Fortunately, we did not need to make a claim. But overall, Nationwide offered very good coverage at a reasonable cost.
