Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The thing is, you don’t really know how good the company is or how responsive they are to your needs until you need to file a claim. I did not need to do this , so it is hard to evaluate.

Due to medical issues our trip had to be cancelled. Filing a claim was easy and phone representatives were helpful. They claim that it takes 15 business days which was fairly accurate as I had my check in hand in 20 business days.
Very pleased with their service and plan.

It was nice to have the security of this policy. Fortunately, our trip was without incident and we didn't need to use it.

The best cruise insurance is the policy you never need to use. This policy was reasonably priced compared to the competition, provided the basic items I wanted to ensure, and gave me peace of mind while on vacation. And best of all, I did not need to use it.
