Great alternative to cruise line associated insurance. Didn't have to file a claim this time, but have in past with Travelex and had no problems getting paid, unlike a claim with AON going on 9 months since date of loss.

We received the full refund to which we were entitled, but it took five months to get it! The cruise was for October, we canceled in August and sent in claims, had to resend information again, and didn’t get our funds transferred into our account until January. Had to call several times to see what the delays were.

I did not have to worry about losing the money I paid for the trip if I became ill and could not go.

A person on this tour had to be taken to emergency. He did not have insurance, therefore he had to pay a large sum to be treated. I fell on a cobblestone street, but was the only thing injured was my pride, but it could have been me.

On our return three people did not find their baggage. If this had happened to me and it could not be located, I would have been compensated.

The price was right, and customer service was excellent. I liked the automated e-mails that confirmed coverage and offered the link to file a claim. The trip was fine, and we had no claim. As you read other reviews, make sure claims are being paid! Those reviews are more important than this one. When I picked, I liked what I saw from people who had claims.
