Can only hope it would have covered any losses. Luckily we didn't need to file a claim.

I have paid for 6 insurance plans on Cruises and have had no claims. I am starting to question my investments because of high costs. .

As we age, and our senior adult family members age, we have always taken insurance coverage to make sure we are covered. Fortunately, we have never had to file a claim for this reason, but feel certain we would be covered without issues. Thank you for providing your service!

I had occasion to file a claim with Travelex previously, and that was the reason we chose them again for coverage. They were fast and easy to work with through the claims process.

I purchased the basic travel plan with the full intention of never needing to use it....and wanting to be prudent. Frankly, one never knows exactly what is covered until one has to use it. It is difficult for me to rate the plan without at least some scenarios where the coverage is detailed. And, of course, there is a problem with this, too, as people have to read the scenarios. Insurance plans are written by lawyers and those of us not trained in the law have great difficulty knowing exactly what the plan will do.

Fortunately, I didn't have to use the insurance, but it provided peace of mind. One thing that I really liked is that it was primary coverage. I wouldn't have had to involve any other insurance I might have had.

One never knows when they are planning to travel if they will need it (hopefully won't) and we were glad we did have it. We have a son in a wheel chair that went with us and we felt that we needed that extra peace of mind that if something should happen, we would have the extra care we might need.

Thankfully, we did have to file a claim, but had we, I feel we chose the most appropriate coverage and plan.

A portion of our trip involving offshore flights was cancelled due to weather. The tour company refunded essentially all of the trip cost ($4K), but retained an "administrative fee" (whatever that is) of $80. I filed a claim for this and it was paid promptly and without any hassles. A tiny claim to be sure, but it was handled efficiently and is the only basis upon which I can make a report.
