We purchased trip insurance that included trip cancellation. What a total waste of time and an obvious twisting of words by Nationwide to avoid paying a claim. This type of result is what gives insurance companies a bad name. I reviewed our policy in detail before filing our claim. Our cruise was cancelled by Holland America back in April due to Covid-19. This is the reply we received from Nationwide.
"Because the Coronavirus/COVID-19 is not one of the named perils listed in the plan, we are unable to consider this to be a covered claim. Regrettably, your claim does not qualify for reimbursement based on this reason"
Following the above statement, Nationwide lists what they do cover.... see below...
The policy you purchased provides the following benefits:
"Quarantine means Your strict isolation imposed by a Government authority or Physician to prevent the spread of disease. An embargo preventing You from entering a country is not a Quarantine"
Do you see the problem here? They are picking and choosing (spinning) what they will cover. The Govt prevented cruising due to the spread of disease, but because their verbiage doesn't specifically say Covid-19, it doesn't qualify.
What a crock of BS! I will be filing a complaint with the department of insurance. I will NEVER purchase travel insurance from Nationwide again. In my opinion, they stole money from me in selling me a policy that was worthless!

I needed a "cancel for any reason" option due to a pre-existing condition. Nationwide provided one. Fortunately, I was able to make the trip!

I didn’t need to use the insurance but I’m always glad to have it in the event of an emergency.

Did not have to make a claim so I cannot comment on that part of having the insurance. The Plan is pricey (they all are) but allows me to apply closer to my date of travel because the pre-x exclusion applies if the Plan is purchased before the FINAL payment is due, instead of within 14-21 days of the (usually refundable) deposit which could be a year or more before the trip. The benefits seem to cover all my needs.

Even though we did not need to file a claim it was good piece of mind to know we had good coverage. We prefer to buy our own insurance then to purchase what the cruise line offers.
