I will never *not* get travel insurance. We had a Covid scare [possible exposure] shortly before leaving town; also, we missed one connection (which, oddly, got us a reduced fare). So while I never had to file a claim, I sure slept better knowing we could have.

We didn't need to use it but it was good piece of mind just in case of emergency. Good price too

It's great knowing you are covered in any event, and it will cost you less and cover you more than what the cruise company offers. A win-win in my opinion.

Difficult to provide good analysis of the plan unless there was a claim and we had no issues during our trip so no claim requested. Did seem a bit costly yet it was recommended by a friend from a previous trip they had (which they also had no claim).
