I have not received word on my claim yet since I just filed it. But, customer service is outstanding. Everyone that I talked with since I forgot to add one more piece of proof of sailing were extremely helpful. i am looking forward to using their company service again when sailing. I can't say enough about how helpful these reps have been.

I didn’t have to use it thank goodness but never travel without it. One time I had to use trip insurance through insure my trip (not Nationwide)and they covered everything. The representatives at Insure My Trip were very knowledgeable and helpful.

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.

Wow, an honest insurance company - don't hear about that too often. I called to ask what would happen if our cruise ended up being a "cruise to nowhere" after the 2017 hurricanes. It was then that I learned our policy had an itinerary change benefit. I was advised to file the claim upon returning as they needed proof that we actually took the cruise.
In the middle of filling out the paperwork, I called Nationwide with a question and learned that my benefit was actually double what I thought! Wow. Claim documentation requirements were straightforward, no "gotchas". Claim paid in about 2 weeks. Would absolutely recommend this company again.

Didn't have to use it so don't know how well it works if you need to, but was satisfied with what we had purchased and it being a fair price.

Although I did not need to file a claim, I felt confident knowing that I had this coverage. This plan provided better coverage at a lower price than the plan the cruise line offered. I will purchase this plan again.

In the past, I had always used the same travel insurance to cover our cruises and, fortunately, never had to file a claim. The insurance seemed pretty generic and so I began a search for cruise specific policies. In my research, I came across Nationwide’s Choice Cruise Plan. The Choice Cruise Plan was a little bit more expensive than the policy I had been using, but the coverage was so much better that I thought the added expense was justified. As it turns out, I was right!
My husband and I cruised in December after hurricanes Irma and Maria caused widespread destruction in the Caribbean. One of our original ports of call was St. Maarten, but due to the devastation suffered on the island, Carnival changed our cruise itinerary from St. Maarten to Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic. After review of our policy, I called Nationwide to confirm itinerary change coverage. The claims department confirmed coverage and gave me specific instructions (over the phone and in a follow-up email) on what was needed to file a claim. I filed our claim on December 18, 2017, and had a check in hand on January 2, 2018. Nationwide Choice Cruise Plan will be the only travel insurance I use for future cruises, and it will always be the cruise insurance I recommend to family and friends.

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.
In the future, you wish to call Customer Care at (800) 487-4722 weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET and weekends 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET for assistance in quoting and selecting a plan.
