Thankfully, I didn't have to use the insurance plan, but it was a great comfort knowing it was available if needed.

I had to file a claim due to a trip interruption. The claim process was absolutely insane. It was difficult to get any type of reimbursement.

It was very easy to insure our trip and we felt that the price was reasonable. We will absolutely be using this company again for future trips.

I found comparable coverage elsewhere at a lower cost. Your company should offer a lower cost option for just basic coverage. Next time I will buy the basic plan directly from the cruise line, not from you. It was $45 cheaper :-(

The initial cost of the plan was okay when I first purchased the insurance, but when I tried to add more coverage for additional expenses prior to the trip (e.g., paid for a rented an apartment in Paris), the price was outrageously high. I didn't get all the coverage that I wanted because it became too expensive.
