Luckily we didn't have to use the insurance plan. However had anything happened I was confident that we would be covered.

Getting Type A Influenza in a foreign country after a cruise is not fun! Nationwide's online claim form is wonky, but they did reimburse me after I sent in all of the information required. Their 24-hour emergency line representative was very helpful in explaining exactly what I needed to do in order to file a claim. My health insurance paid for the medical bills and Nationwide reimbursed me for my replacement airline ticket and the extended hotel stay for 3 nights.

I did file a small claim due to a ferry cancellation (weather related) in Greece which required an additional unplanned hotel night as well as missing one day of a prepaid apartment at our next destination. I probably provided more information than necessary when filing the claim but had no issue receiving compensation for my additional expenses. It is important for anyone taking travel insurance to SAVE all receipts in the event they do need to file a claim. The more documentation you have the easier it is to get compensation. Save all receipts including airline tickets, etc. until you are home and are sure you will not need to fill a claim.
