Been a customer for a few trips now and never needed to file a claim. But curious if the policy that we purchased would of covered us if we needed to leave the ship at a port and fly home because of illness? The reason why I ask is because a couple we were traveling with had to do just that. The male traveler came down with walking pneumonia and NCL strongly suggested they get off at Cozumel and fly home. Reason being was the next three days will be at sea and if you need to be medevac'd off the ship we will be out-of-range for helicopters to reach us. That being said they chose to disembark at Cozumel to be safe. So I was wondering if the plan we purchased would of covered the travel expenses. Thanks so much and looking forward to purchasing our next travel policy.

While understanding age is a large contributing factor, your policies do not take into consideration other factors such as non-smoker or fit bodies, hence the 4 stars above.

First time we have filed a claim. Took some work getting all the documentations that is required when you cancel a cruise. I did all they asked and was rewarded with my money back fairly quickly. Thank you Nationwide.

Since I didn't have a claim, I cannot speak to the quality of the service. The overall price/value of stated coverage was good.

I purchased for two main reasons.....in case I needed to cancel the trip as I was travelling during hurricane season and because of the medical benefits in addition to my regular health insurance especially if I needed to be take to a hospital for a medical emergency. Thankfully neither of these occurred but for the price I paid it definitely gave us some peace of mind. I felt the price as very reasonable for the benefits provided.

I've never had to file a claim yet but it always gives me peace of mind to know it's there if I need it. Plus it is more reasonably priced than what is offered by the travel agency or cruise line.
I was sick several years ago with the flu and went on my cruise anyway because I did not have Insurance.
