All went very well. This is our second cruise trip with your Insurance. We have two more cruises later this year. We will continue to utilize your insurance services. We have referred several of our friends and cruise neighbors to you. Thanks for giving us the insurance package we required at a very good price.

I was not previously aware that you have to purchase insurance within 10-14 days after making first payment on trip to get coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, and you cannot get pre-existing medical conditions coverage after that.

I appreciated the automatic emails wishing up a good trip and welcoming us back. It meant that you were aware of our trip and we felt secure that we were covered.

I'm happy to say we didn't need the plan at all but was very glad to have the coverage at a much better rate than offered by either the cruise company or the travel agency. It gives me peace of mind.
