Perfect insurance coverage for my needs. No wasted coverages, no wasted charges. Would certainly purchase a Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Universal Cruise plan again and also recommend it to my family and friends.

Of all the times I have purchased travel insurance, this was the first time I had to use it and I was very unhappy with Nationwide when they denied our claim. My daughter and I survived the Las Vegas concert mass shooting, but my daughter was still too traumatized and stressed to travel on a plane and be on a crowded cruise ship over Thanksgiving. She had all the supporting documentation from a health care provider but because she wasn't hospitalized for an emotional/psychiatric issue it was not covered! (watch the fine print on exclusions when you purchase insurance). Plus, they took so long to finally deny it that we lost our window to even try to reuse the airfare. It was VERY frustrating to deal with a large insurance company that couldn't consider the extenuating circumstances of being in a mass shooting as cause of cancellation!

    Thank you for taking time to submit your Nationwide review.

    Although we are very, very sorry that you and your daughter experienced the horror of the Las Vegas attack, we are relieved to hear that neither of you were physically injured. While it is understandable that your daughter was hesitant to board a plane after such an experience, it would still not be a "covered reason" for Trip Cancellation under your policy. As the company explained, your Nationwide policy excluded "...mental or emotional disorders, unless Hospitalized...", as do most travel insurance plans.

    Although this was not a satisfactory claim experience since it resulted in a denial of coverage, these circumstances would have been covered under a policy with a "Cancel for Any Reason" rider. In the future, you may decide to revisit purchasing travel insurance including that optional coverage. "Cancel for Any Reason" is available under the Nationwide Choice and Luxury Cruise plans for an additional premium.

    Please remember that InsureMyTrip is available for assistance by calling (800) 487-4722 weekdays from 7:00 AM to midnight ET and weekends from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET.

      While I appreciate your reply, the "cancel for any reason" rider is often not available unless you purchase the insurance right away with initial payment on the trip or at all. I have purchased many travel policies through your site. Since, we don't have all the total costs until we purchase the airfare, hotel if needed, and are sure who is finally going on the trip, it's difficult to purchase the travel insurance right away. Otherwise I would purchase the rider. PLUS, I was told that is not full value but only a portion of the costs (some is better than none but we did not anticipate that the cancellation would be for anything but illness, or the other listed covered reasons on the higher cost plan).

Thanks for letting me extend the coverage beyond the one-month limit. We booked another cruise last minute and it was great to have our coverage extended for the extra time.

Cruise coverage had a change of port provision. Due to hurricane activity, the cruise line changed the ports prior to departure. Nationwide processed my claim quickly and paid the claim without a problem. The required paperwork was complete but not burdensome. I would recommend Nationwide cruise coverage based on this experience.
