To me, it's almost ludicrous to ask me my opinion on an insurance policy that I purchased but didn't utilize. Honestly, the value of a policy only reveals itself once you need it. Then, you realize whether it helped, covered as expected, or was easy to deal with. The up front cost wasn't bad, but I'd have not a clue about whether it's good, fair, or bad coverage or policy.
Thanks for asking, but your questions are moot.

I had to file a claim on a vacation package that was delayed over 19 hours from our original start time. It took about six weeks for them to settle. Both the companion I went with, and myself received the same amount back, but I don’t think I was reimbursed for the $89 in food that I had to spend due to being delayed on our vacation .

We purchased insurance "in case" of travel issues or health issues. Grateful that neither occurred but was glad to have the level of coverage we did. I'm able to call and get clarification to any questions I might have prior to purchase (and after).

All went well. No need to use the Plan. Glad to have had it for peace of mind. Was recommended by a phone representative from Emerald Cruises.

Great coverage at a reasonable price. Glad I did not need coverage on my trip though....hehe.

I was sick and could not go on my trip. We had to cancel. We filed a claim with all documents and received our due insurance payment for our coverage. The only improvement I can suggest is better communication about the timing it takes to process. There is one company that handles claims for multiple insurance companies, so they are overwhelmed. I didn't even get a notification that my claim was processed. I only knew when I received a check in the mail. Other than that, everything was as promised and I will use them again.

The price of the plan was quite reasonable for the coverage received. I did not need to file any claims, but the policy gave me peace of mind knowing that I was covered if needed. I will use this company again on future cruise vacations.

The process took 3mos to resolve and was straight forward for "trip interruption”. After submitting the claim I received 2 more emails requesting the same information again or information that was not germane to "trip interruption”. Medical bills associated with the reason for the "trip interruption" were under my medical insurance. Nationwide would have been secondary IF I had claimed medical - which I did not. It took a phone call to raise a flag that I had no additional info that I hadn’t already provided for “trip interruption”. IMHO the process is too onerous to the point of hoping I would just give up. In the end, I received the EOB’s and checks for “trip interruption” that resulted from me suffering a concussion that required 10 staples in the back of my head in the ER and a 2nd ER visit a day later, after I arrived home due to worsening/related medical issues and not being able to complete the last 5 days of an 11 day tour.
