Thankfully I did not have to use my insurance, so I really have no opinion about how good of a policy this was.It made me feel safer to have it.

I was glad I did not need it but would not have traveled without. Never know what could happen and knowing if something did I was covered! Will use you again if needed.

The best cruise insurance is the policy you never need to use. This policy was reasonably priced compared to the competition, provided the basic items I wanted to ensure, and gave me peace of mind while on vacation. And best of all, I did not need to use it.

We did not have to file a claim this time but we did in the past and it was handled quickly and just as the plan indicated. These people are very easy to work with and the cost has always been more reasonable than what I could get from my travel agent. We use this plan every time we travel on a cruise. It is well worth the peace of mind that it offers.
Ray K. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
