I would have liked a life insurance policy with this, but it wasn't on the policy we chose. All in all we had a fabulous vacation, but we also know you would have our back if something went wrong. Thank you.

Due to a drastic change in my wife's health we had to cancel the cruise about 20 days prior to the departure. Nationwide Mutual covered all of our expenses with a reasonable amount of documentation.

It is hard to rate an insurance company until you have to use it, that is when you will know how effective the company insurance is.

The plan offered the coverage I wanted at such a reasonable price. It's a great option and at this price there's no reason to travel without travel insurance.
