We are so glad we did not need to use the plan. However, you never know when an accident or illness or situation in the world can threaten your vacation. We needed the peace of mind that the insurance provided. It was worth the price (which was very reasonable).

Would never travel on a cruise without this insurance. You never know when a family emergency will pop up and you might have to cancel your plans especially when those travel plans are nonrefundable. Also, it is good to have the additional protection in case of an accident while you are traveling ... it really gives peace of mind and assurance.

I would advise them to review the plan to determine if they feel comfortable enough to absorb the cost of the trip if some problem caused them to miss their trip date or fail to make the trip at all, then purchase or not. I feel the cost is pricey for a very low risk adventure.

I felt very secure knowing I had insurance. I didn't need it, but secure knowing I had it.

Just having the piece of mind was wonderful....someone did have to be taken off our ship for a medical emergency and all I could think was I hope they have insurance.

It was cheaper than what the cruise line wanted. It was nice knowing we had the insurance to fall back on in case we needed it at a low cost. Thank you.

Even though I didn't need to use the insurance, I felt better knowing I had it. I'm not sure how smooth a claims process would be since I didn't need to do that, but I would hope that it would be taken care of if you have all the documentation on the issue available.
