I never take a trip without obtaining insurance. However, I usually get CFAR (
CANCEL for any reason) For this trip unfortunately it was cost prohibitive.

    Thank you for your comments. However, Nationwide, like most providers, do not offer Cancel for Any Reason in the State of New York.

Since we had a smooth sailing experience on our 14 night Cuba cruise I am unable to rate the claim process. Suffice to say I am satisfied that the trip was fully covered and we had no need to file a claim. Others on our sailing we not as fortunate as extremely bad weather delayed many from reaching the port of Boston for embarkation. They were forced to fly to our first port stop of Key West which was a full 4 days later. Some had no insurance and were dismayed at having not only missed 3 lazy sea days but also to pay for air transportation, hotel and meals to meet the ship. Lesson learned. Travel insurance is a must.

Clearly, it's difficult to give a review of something that one did not utilize, however, it was comforting have the peace of mind that the coverage would have been there in the event of need.

It was a relief to know that I had the coverage I might have needed -- and a bigger relief not to need it! Peace of mind at a reasonable price.
