I have had to make changes for a couple of policies and will need to do one more. The level of difficulty is too high with the paperwork I am able to get from Royal Caribbean… if you don’t need all the paperwork for me to buy insurance, why do I have to provide a mountain for minor changes…. Also no way to enter a beneficiary.

Plan coverage was very good. Could be more specific when it comes to COVID coverage and being primary instead of secondary for many of the covered benefits.

I chose this plan for covid-related coverages, e.g. cancel for any reason and delayed return due to a positive covid test. The cost was reasonable. Luckily we didn't need to file a claim.

Totally a rip off! I was told that I would not be covered if Mexico would shut down and I couldn't make my trip. I asked for my money back so I could purchase insurance with a company that would cover me and I was told No! I will never purchase anything with them again.

Dear Valued Customer,
We thank you for your feedback.
While you do have coverage if you are to contract Covid-19, any sort of government closures or shutdowns do require the Cancel For Any Reason protection. Cancel for Any Reason is a time sensitive benefit that must be purchased no later than 21 days from the first day you put any money down towards your trip. Additionally, the insurance policies are non-refundable after the policy review period. Your policy review period was 10 days following the purchase of the policy.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our team of representatives by phone at 800-487-4722 or by email at [email protected]Sep 30,2021

The only thing that I found cumbersome, and didn't particularly like, was that I could not go directly to Nationwide Mutual Insurance but had to go through Insure My Trip customer care for changes.
We had a trip date change, on a couple of occasions, and I would have preferred to go directly through Nationwide rather than have to contact Insure My Trip who then contacted Nationwide.

I've needed trip insurance once and it's well worth it. I chose this plan based on it having the coverage I wanted and it's competitive price. Luckily I didn't need the coverage on my trip but I had the peace of mind during my trip with the plan.

Purchased a plan on 3/5/2020 for a dream trip to Norway. We put together an itinerary including Flights to UK, cruise to Norway from Southhampton and then Cruise to New York on Queen Mary 2. Today was the date on which we had to make the final payment on the cruises. Since the cruise was not until August We thought we might be able to rely on the travel insurance in case one of the cruise lines or the airline cancelled part of the trip. Just to be sure, I called Nationwide customer service to make sure we would be covered. Imagine my surprise to find out that if any of the cancellations were due to coronavirus it would not be covered because it was not a listed peril on the policy. The customer service representative explained that unless the reason for trip cancellation or delay was due to a listed peril in the policy then it was not covered.
An example: The policy states "The company will reimburse you if your miss your connection due to inclement weather" they will reimburse you for expenses and pre-paid nonrefundable trip payments fr the unused portion of your trip. However if the flight is cancelled due to mechanical problems you are up the creek, because that is not a listed peril.
So this is not really insurance, it is a guessing game to see if your crystal ball works well enough to figure out what could possibly go wrong months in advance of your trip and then find a policy from some company that covers all of the stuff you came up with. Good luck with that.
Basically unless you are injured or fall ill or heaven forbid die, due to an unforeseen incident and not related to any of the page full of exclusions, you are covered. If your flight is delayed or canceled due to weather you are covered. Anything else - tough luck.
So it looks like we will get a cruise credit for the cruise portion of the trip and the airlines are also offering free changes for most flights. Nationwide has "voucher program" which MAY offer partial credit to transfer some or all of the cost of your unused travel policy to a future trip. I must say I'm not expecting much after speaking to their "customer service" people.
I'm sure glad automobile and life insurance is better than travel insurance. I think it should be called something else.
