The price of the plan was quite reasonable for the coverage received. I did not need to file any claims, but the policy gave me peace of mind knowing that I was covered if needed. I will use this company again on future cruise vacations.

I didn’t have to use this insurance so I can’t speak to how easy it was to get reimbursed for any medical expenses (which is why I purchased it). I did however see an ambulance take someone off our ship, and also spoke to someone who had had to use trip insurance, and their story reminded me of why I get it, even when I haven’t needed to use it in my travels.

Since, thankfully, I did not have to file a claim I don’t have any input regarding the policy.

Great Insurance for the price. Again, we were fortunate to not have any problems and didn't need to file a claim. Nice to have it in your pocket though if needed.

Outstanding. You get more than the cruise ship offers. I felt safe and great knowing I had insurance traveling so far. I didn't need to use it, but happy I had it, just in case! Great company! Great everything, price and what you get for your money. I highly recommend this company
