Fortunately, we did not need to "test" the plan, so we have no experience with whether it would have covered what we would have needed it for. In theory the plan gave us peace of mind for our perceived risks.

I know the advice is to not purchase insurance, but past experience with a 7-year-old who contracted pneumonia at Walt Disney World (canceling a Disney cruise) and elderly parents (one with Alzheimers), the peace of mind was worth 10x the cost! Watching kids get sick on the plane, damaged luggage, running to make connections at foreign airports--I knew if the worst happened, my family would find help a phone call away.

Although I did not have to use the coverage, I was glad to know that I did have it if something did go wrong.

I lost few items but bureaucracy took over, I did not get any help,so money on policy were spent for nothing.

Lost items would have to be claimed through the airline first before the secondary baggage coverage would come into play.Aug 21,2012

Fortunately I did not need to use any of the coverage. The plan had the essential coverage I needed - cancellation of trip for work reason. That is a hard coverage to find even as a rider without several conditions such as when the coverage is purchased and the limitations on what the business reason is. While I thought the premium was more than I expected to pay, having that coverage was worth it.

I am so glad that I didn't need to file a claim, but having the plan took away a lot of the worries I might have had while being so far away from family members.

Did not file ANY claims, so it's impossible to tell how good their service is!

I feel the plan was too expensive but it did cover the concerns I had.

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.
