Blessed that I didn’t need to it. Very comforting to know that I was covered in case of need.

This was for a 111 day around the world cruise. I’m 77 and wanted evacuation insurance.

piece of mind was the most important thing. I did not have to use the policy. Would like to get feedback from people that used the service.

I did not have any claim. It is way too high. I applied to it only because it was requested by the cruise line.

Seemed a bit pricey but then again, since we did not need the policy, by definition insurance seems unnecessary (until you need it).

Purchased plan. Did not have occasion to use it. What more can I say except I'll purchase it again on our next trip mainly due to our age. It is worth the expense when compared to the actual cost of a medevac. I know because I flew medevac helicopters for 15 years.

No one will probably ever read this review because the company obviously "curates" the reviews. If they are like may sites that self-publish reviews it is possible that fake reviews have been posted. Just ask yourself the question: Why would anyone write a review for one-time insurance they never used? Makes no sense. Some sites give you the option of showing the reviews with claims and they are rarely five stars.
Also, you may buy the policy from John Hancock which has a great reputation but the claims are actually processed by some company you've never heard in the midwest, like Seven Corners (check them on Yelp). So it is actually impossible to read see reviews for the company that actually processes the claims. Once you have made a claim and obtain the name of the claims processor if you go to Yelp and find an overall 1 Star rating and hundreds of horror stories about the claims process. In my experience claim will take 2 to 3 months if you're lucky and possibly never if they invoke the numerous loopholes in these policies.
Then you have another layer of websites like this one that publish "ratings" for companies they represent and articles from Forbes and other sources they pay for the media"reviews". Notice they are all five stars. Finally, you have google who is only going to display positive reviews and information provided by their paying customers, the insurance agent, insurance companies and the hidden companies that you actually deal with if you have a claim. Also note that although you can post a review for your local insurance agent on google there is no option of posting an unedited review for this site, John Hancock or other insurance companies on google, interesting...
Hopefully, the people that review these reviews will find this one worthy. However, I suspect they will be laughing with their workmates as they hit the delete button!

Great product. All I need when travelling is medical repatriation in case of an emergency. This policy provides just that at a very reasonable price.
