Fortunately I did not need to file a claim. I was at peace knowing that if anything happened while on my cruise, I would be covered by Nationwide. This travel policy was very reasonable.

Did not need to use the coverage, but it was comforting to know that it was there if we needed it.

I was satisfied with the coverage and the cost of the plan, however, the true measure of satisfaction with any plan is satisfaction with a claim and customer service when making a claim. Fortunately, we did not need to make a claim. But overall, Nationwide offered very good coverage at a reasonable cost.

Kept in contact leading up to our trip and advised on conditions near our travel destinations. Advised on day of travel the contact details if their services would be needed. Great experience!

Having this policy gave me peace of mind in knowing that if something happened to my elderly mother or others in my family (I'm not a spring chicken myself) I could cancel my trip.

Yes everything went great on our trip to Virgin Gorda. The claim was easy to file and even the confusion didn't confuse you. The confusion was in the house. We weren't going to get the money back, then we were going to get the money back. Then we weren't going to get the money back but eventually we did get the money back for the house. And so there was no claim filed for the money on the house, where initially there was. And the plane reservation refund was excellent, cuz it took into account the weird way Delta handles cancellations like that. Which is that they don't and they don't give you your money back. Unless you plan on booking with them again within 12 months of the initial reservation. Which is somewhat difficult to do, since we generally fly domestically and you won't take Delta if you are a golfer and fly domestically.
