Thankfully we did not have to use the coverage. Our trip was wonderful and knowing we had insurance made us enjoy it worry free.

Insurance is a must to have as a back up plan in case we were exposed to COVID

The cruise itinerary we originally purchased changed and we shifted the cruise embarkation date by one week. One would think it would be a hassle free exercise to change the insurance coverage dates. One would be wrong.

The number of email exchanges, documents, duplicate documents, duplicate explanations and multiple phone calls were required. It would have been easier to scrap the original policy and purchase a new one. So much for the creed “customer satisfaction.”
John S. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

I have never had to use trip insurance, but the ease of finding a resonably priced policy on Insuremytrip is great.

My cruise was shortened by 3 nights prior to sailing. I provided the documentation and the insurance company refunded the prorated amount.
I did not need to file a claim so cannot speak to that.

Great insurance coverage at a great price. I have another Nationwide policy for a cruise we have booked for next year (actually rebooked multiple times due to COVID), they transferred the policy each time it was rescheduled with such ease. I will always use Nationwide through Insuremytrip.com.
