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 regularly purchase travel insurance. Although I lucklily did not need to use the policy. I did come down with what was later dianosed with COVID. If I had to cacel the trip, the savings would have been significant

My wife got injured two weeks before our scheduled cruise. I submitted all the paperwork and documents as requested online. Never had to talk to a person. We received the refund checks 3 weeks after submittal and got everything we asked for since we had the documentation. Thanks to Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company for the very quick response and positive outcome. I have already purchased another plan from them for our next trip based on the response for the last one.

For the price of the essential plan offered by the cruise line ( that didn’t cover much ), I felt protected by a much stronger plan offered here.

So very pleased I purchased this plan as I needed to cancel my trip last minute and the only out of pocket costs I did not get reimbursed for was the cost of the policy itself!
