Our first flight (of 2) was canceled due to mechanical problems. It was a problem securing another flight to connect to FL from up north over President's week. After about a 1/2 hour of trying the agent finally worked some magic and booked us on a partner airline's flight to Atlanta, had us stay there in an airport hotel overnight, then continue on to FL very early the following morning. We were able to reach FL by 9:25AM with plenty of time to board our cruise ship. But, it was touch and go for a while at the airport. We were glad to have purchased the insurance - just in case... it gave us peace of mind.

I believe the best insurance is good planning, but travel insurance is necessary for circumstances beyond our control. Frankly, I try not to be exposed to those circumstances, but spending a few hundred dollars to insure a vacation that cost several thousand dollars just makes good sense.

The customer service woman was so helpful to me. I have never done anything like this and she answered all my questions. She was very patient with me. I truly appreciated working with her. Kudos to her!

I always have insurance for my cruises but by far yours provided the same coverage for less than half. Thanks again

Since I only purchased the plan but never filed a claim, I have no other info than it was easy to sign up for it on line and it covered my needs fairly economically.

I had to cancel because I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Once the insurance company was notified the paper work went without a hitch. The team at the insurance company was giving updates to help me along. Very well pleased.
