    Policy premiums are generally determined by 3 factors; (1) The ages of all travelers at the time of purchase, (2) the length of your trip from home to home and (3) the total cost of all pre-paid and non-refundable trip expenses you are insuring.

I had to see the ships doctor on our cruise. This incurred s $268.00 fee. After submitting claim to my Medicare supplement and receiving a denial of payment (cost was applied to my travel deductible) I submitted all my documentation on line. It took about 6 weeks to receive my full cost of care. The website was excellent to follow the processing of my claim.

Global Alert did almost nothing on my claim until someone from Insuremytrip called them. They sent payment soon afterward. The claim was fairly settled but they dragged their feet until prodded.

A major shortcoming in this policy is that the premium is non-refundable if the related cruise / travel plans are cancelled prior to the penalty period. That is, if coverage is purchased for a trip 270 days in the future and the trip is cancelled 180 days in the future with no penalty cost, the insurance should be refundable, less a small service charge, because the insurer has not provided any coverage during a risk period, that is there has been no exposure to loss.
David S. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

I wish there were some way to get a partial rebate if the insurance is not used.
