This plan really came through for me 5 years ago when my elderly mother had a stroke right before I was set to sail on a European cruise. After an easy verification process from her physician about her condition, the plan paid without delay in full. I purchase this plan before every trip I take for peace of mind in knowing I am covered in case of illness or death in the family. Thanks!!!

Since I didn't file a claim, I can't review thoroughly. But the price was reasonable for the type of coverage I selected.

I filed a claim, and I received reimbursement in 15 business days as I was told. The whole claim process was very smooth. I will buy from them again.

Hard to say it was truly a good plan, when, fortunately, I did not need to file a claim. You never know if something is really good until you have to use it.

The assurance you get from knowing that your trip is covered if anything goes wrong - sickness, accidents, etc. - is well worth the cost of the trip insurance. One lady broke her arm while boarding the ship and she missed the cruise. We saw another man who had fallen and was taken off on a stretcher. Trip insurance is a good thing to have.

Very good value compared with what the cruise line offered. Easy to work both online and by phone. I felt so much better about spending the money on my cruise knowing I would be covered if something occurred.

Fortunately we did not have to use the plan coverage. The price for the coverage was the best available for our needs.
