Overall I was satisfied with my plan. But I could not get any compensation for my prescription glasses that were lost. The fine print was the key!!!!!

I was glad I found your website for insurance since I paid half the amount I was being charged by the cruise line. I felt safe if something happened medically. I would definitely use this insurance again for future trips. Thank you and especially the lady salesperson who customized my plan for me.

Just having the piece of mind was wonderful....someone did have to be taken off our ship for a medical emergency and all I could think was I hope they have insurance.

Fortunately, we didn't have to use it, but were pleased with the cost of the insurance and of the confidence of knowing we'd be covered.

I bought this inexpensive plan ($56 for 2 persons) for our cruise trip for peace of mind. I did not have to file any claims, because we had a perfect vacation. However, I remember meeting a American man at hotel in Germany several years ago - he was in a very bad and expensive situation after his wife fell off the moving sidewalk at the airport. She was in traction in the hospital and could not travel on the plane home.
