We have used Nationwide cruise plans several times now and have made 4 claims, including the one that was just paid. All were handled in a timely manner with prompt payments. Their representatives were friendly and knowledgeable on the phone. A Nationwide representative even reminded us once of a benefit we had forgotten about. I have not had one complaint about the service we have received from Nationwide, and I can't think of very many other companies I can say that about.

I did not need any services provided by this insurance, so I don’t really know how well Nationwide services a claim. But, the price was competitive with others, and the fact that you are located in the same state I live in, made me feel more comfortable.

First of all, we had a group of 10 people on a plan.
Had bad weather in Wisconsin and our flight to Houston was cancelled. We were to join a cruise in Houston but because of the delay, we had to join in Cozumel and had to take a flight to get there and had a hotel stay. This should be a simple trip interruption claim from Nationwide, and this is what their agents told me. That was a month ago, submitted all of the information. they literally just asked for the same information again. I had submitted to another travel insurance company for someone and had their cash back to them in 2 weeks.
Based on my experience, you can fine better insurance,

The Essential Plan covers the items we're most concerned about and is priced well.

I’ve used Insure My Trip to book insurance for several trips and will continue to do so. I’ve also had Nationwide multiple times. Luckily, I didn’t have to file a claim this trip but have in the past. Nationwide made the claim process easy and reimbursement was timely.

The proof of whether this is a good plan can only be discovered if you need it! We didn’t use it, our trip went fine so I have NO idea if this is a good plan.

Leaving the USA for a vacation is not like driving to the next state. Many things can occur that we Americans do not even begin to consider. Having a solid, broad, and reasonably priced insurance plan in place before hand completely eliminated any concern that I had. I reviewed the plan before we left, carried a hard copy of the plan with me in my carryon luggage and did not worry a bit. My vacation went without a hitch, but had it not, I was completely covered by this excellent plan.

Had to make a trip delay claim. It took about 3 weeks to receive payment, but that isn’t excessive. The Nationwide website could be improved, but the process was fairly easy.

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.
