Great peace of mind. Glad I had it and glad I didn't need to use it. Will always go to your site for my travel insurance. Thank you.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Very reasonable price for the substantial coverage provided. Appears to be one of the best travel insurance values around. Includes excellent (secondary) emergency medical coverage and medical evacuation. Unfortunately, I had a NON-emergency medical visit at a local U.S. Virgin Islands clinic which did not accept my regular medical insurance (the "primary" insurance under this policy) so I had to pay $321 out-of-pocket.

Thankfully I did not need to file an insurance claim, but just knowing that I had a policy eased my fears if for some unexpected reason I had to cancel or interrupt my trip. The rep was excellent and explained everything to me. I have already recommended her to a friend. Thank you.

Luckily, we didn't need to claim, so there's very little to say. The insurance served its purpose and, with all the Hurricane Sandy stories just before we left, we were glad to have that peace of mind. Cost was half of what the cruise line wanted to charge and included more.

I can't say much as I didn't need to use it. The best test is when you to use it. It had everything I wanted on it for coverage at a reasonable price.
