Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.

Very expensive. Yes I am glad I had it but thought it was too much money

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

The cost was reasonable for what we spent on the trip, but it is Insurance. If you need it, you're glad you have it, if you don't use it, it is a waste of money.

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

The only thing I did not like about my trip was the internet. I paid premium price and wished I hadn't. Never again.
