It was reassuring to know that we were covered if an emergency caused us to cancel out trip at the last minute, and we would not lose the cost of our trip.

Luckily, we didn't need to file a claim for our travels so I can't really discuss the aspect of actually having a claim processed. We were simply at ease knowing we were covered in the unlikely event of a cancelled trip, etc. The price we paid was just the right amount for our sense of security on the trip.

We spoke to a few first time cruisers and suggested they get cruise insurance for their future cruises and told them about Insure My Trips. Cause ya just never know when you will need it.

The plan provided base coverage and confidence that should we have a concern while traveling out of the country, we had a resource and/or assistance. I am glad I did not have to use it but it was reasonably priced and worth the peace of mind. Thank you.

Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim as we had an amazing, trouble free vacation. Nevertheless, I've had 3 ankle surgeries since July and traveling without trip insurance would have been foolish, especially since our itinerary included both land and cruise destinations. Just knowing we had appropriate coverage should anything go wrong was a relief.
