Getting Type A Influenza in a foreign country after a cruise is not fun! Nationwide's online claim form is wonky, but they did reimburse me after I sent in all of the information required. Their 24-hour emergency line representative was very helpful in explaining exactly what I needed to do in order to file a claim. My health insurance paid for the medical bills and Nationwide reimbursed me for my replacement airline ticket and the extended hotel stay for 3 nights.

I chose my plan based on the reimbursements that would be available for cancellation; trip interruption; baggage loss and the medical, and more. I luckily did not have to file a claim but felt good about the level of coverage I would have.

Easy to understand and purchase. Did not have to file a claim, so I do not have a review for that portion.

Thankfully I never had to use it. Our flight was delayed, but we got a hotel voucher and food vouchers. We knew far enough ahead of time so we kept some clothes out of our checked bags. Hopefully I never have to find out if travel insurance is good or not, but I do like the piece of mind it gives me when I travel.

A must have when visiting a different country, glad I didn’t have to use it but it is still necessary to have.

To me, it's almost ludicrous to ask me my opinion on an insurance policy that I purchased but didn't utilize. Honestly, the value of a policy only reveals itself once you need it. Then, you realize whether it helped, covered as expected, or was easy to deal with. The up front cost wasn't bad, but I'd have not a clue about whether it's good, fair, or bad coverage or policy.
Thanks for asking, but your questions are moot.

I had to file a claim on a vacation package that was delayed over 19 hours from our original start time. It took about six weeks for them to settle. Both the companion I went with, and myself received the same amount back, but I don’t think I was reimbursed for the $89 in food that I had to spend due to being delayed on our vacation .

We purchased insurance "in case" of travel issues or health issues. Grateful that neither occurred but was glad to have the level of coverage we did. I'm able to call and get clarification to any questions I might have prior to purchase (and after).
