Fortunately I didn't need to use the the insurance. It did meet the potential issues I would encounter on my trip at a reasonable price.

Felt better knowing we had coverage.
Glad we did not have a claim. Easy company to work with. Would re-insure with them in the future.

I can insure my cruise for almost half of what it cost me from the cruise line. I have used InsureMyTrip.com for several years now and although I haven't had to file a claim, I know that I am covered should anything unexpected happen. Thanks so much for this peace of mind without having to spend a fortune.

We made a claim because our flight going home after our cruise out of Ft Lauderdale was cancelled due to a snow storm, and ended up having to stay the night. We sent in our claim and did not hear from the insurance company for a month. We contacted the company and resubmitted our claim. Again no response. Finally on our third try they responded that they are processing our claim, this after 3 months. The company does not communicate at all, it is like a big black hole. We received our claim finally and it did not cover the items they claim they cover. Also, they don't explain why our costs were not covered just sent a check and that is that. I would have been better off not purchasing the insurance. It was not worth my time to purchase and was not worth the time to send in the claim. Beware, it does not cover much of anything. When you read it it appears to, but it does not. I definitely do not recommend this insurance, unless you feel you want to make a charitable donation to Nationwide! Save your money.
Mary D. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

    Upon receiving your review, we immediately assigned an InsureMyTrip "Anytime Advocate" who contacted the Nationwide. According to their records, you filed your claim on 03/27/2018.

      We were not contacted at all by Nationwide, not by phone, not by email. We submitted all the documentation 3 times with no response until the 3rd submittal, then the response that our claim was being processed, that was the only communication. The insurance is unresponsive and a waste of money.
