In business since 1926, Nationwide focuses on providing the best possible service for its customers. Nationwide travel insurance plans offer a range of innovative benefits for a variety of travel needs.
My wife had a medical emergency a week before we were scheduled to leave. Nationwide refunded our cruise money in full in a timely manner. It was easy to do business with them and I would highly recommend Nationwide as a place to buy your travel insurance.

We bought this policy to not only insure our trip but also for the medical coverage. My wife is on Medicare and it only covers her in U.S. territories and with doctors licensed in the United States. Less than two hours into our cruise and she needed to see the ship doctor. The bill for 15 minutes was $213.44. We filed a claim with Nationwide when we got home. Once Medicare (primary insurance) denied the claim, Nationwide mailed a check for $213.44 to us.
We chose Nationwide essentials insurance because they offer $250,000 air evacuation coverage along with $75,000 medical coverage. Many other companies only offer $10,000 medical coverage and considerably less air evacuation coverage.
I only deal with Insure My Trip when buying trip insurance because if you end up having trouble filing a claim that gets denied, Insure My Trip can get involved as a third party to get it resolved. Once we filed a claim that was denied. After Insure My Trip became involved, the claim was paid in full.

Thanks for letting me extend the coverage beyond the one-month limit. We booked another cruise last minute and it was great to have our coverage extended for the extra time.

Tankfully we didn’t need to use the insurance. However the coastguard had to pick someone who became ill up with a helicopter while we were at sea. I hope they are okay and had some insurance.

My son was hurt on our cruise. He cut his foot in Belize and got shells inside that was not fully removed. We sought additional medical care when we returned home because it had gotten infected and was told the medical care received "after" the trip wouldn't be covered as they only provide coverage during the trip. Will not use them in the future.

We are very sorry to hear that your son's injury did result in an infection and hope that he is now fully healed.
Although we can understand your expectation, you will find that the medical expense benefit does end once you return home in the majority of plans. At that point, your US medical coverage would take over responsibility for the expenses.
