It was quite a bit cheaper than Norwegian cruise line insurance.

The coverage was excellent and the price was competitive. Plus, we're big fans of Dale, Jr.!

I purchased the insurance plan to cover the total cost of my trip in case I couldn't attend. That was my main intention for this policy.
I experienced a terrible toothache while aboard on my cruise. The pain was so terrible I went to a dentist in Cozumel Mexico. I was charged $500.00 dollars that resulted in no relief from my pain. I would only wish future policies might include Dental Insurance if seen by a doctor. I'd recommend all to purchase dental if presented in a manor if one is seen buy a physician.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. The Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential plan covers up to 500 USD for emergency dental treatment for an accidental injury to sound natural teeth. Both the accidental injury and the emergency dental treatment must occur during the Trip. This is industry standard for Comprehensive travel insurance policies.

    InsureMyTrip does offer Single-Trip Medical plans that cover 100 USD for the relief of pain to sound natural teeth.

    Please call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions about medical or dental coverage on any of our products. We look forward to assisting you in the future.

I have used this plan in the past and actually had to make a claim. I found it very comprehensive in nature and very easy to deal with when making a claim. Very helpful!

This plan provided exactly the basic coverage I needed for the best price. Got it last year for the same type of trip, got it again this year, and will look for it again the next time I take this type of trip.

Fortunately, we did not have problems, so we did not have to file a claim. However, just knowing that we were covered in case of an emergency brought us great peace of mind.

I purchased the plan in case of emergency and was satisfied with my purchase. There was a medical evacuation on our ship which made me even more grateful for having a little insurance.
