I would never travel on vacation without travel insurance. Although I was lucky and didn't need to use the insurance, it gave me peace of mind at a reasonable price.

Reasonable price; good basic coverage; much more cost effective than the plan offered by the cruise line.

Unfortunately my husband died in an accident while on the vacation and I filed a claim for services to handle transportation of his remains. The funeral director in San Juan has been dealing with insurance for me and said he had worked with this company before and it was satisfactory. My husbands remains are not home yet so I do not know if everything went as planned. If they do and all is covered as I have been told I am very well pleased and certainly glad I purchased the insurance.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are very sorry for your loss. In speaking with the claims administrator, we received confirmation that the claim was paid.

Never had to file a claim, thankfully. For the price of the policy, it is definitely worth the peace of mind.

As with all insurance policies, you buy hoping to never need it. This policy provided the peace of mind we needed and thankfully, didn't have to use any of its features. We will be purchasing additional policies like this one for all our future trips. Highly rated carrier and good coverage for the price.

There was no need to contact your company for a reimbursement so I can't rate your service..
