I didn't have to file a claim (YAY!) so unsure about the claims process. But A+ for coverage and service otherwise.

Travel insurance is a strange product in that you have to have it but hope you don't have to use it. We are glad that our trip took place without needing to call on it. As far as the buying experience goes, that was all very smooth.

Great alternative to cruise line associated insurance. Didn't have to file a claim this time, but have in past with Travelex and had no problems getting paid, unlike a claim with AON going on 9 months since date of loss.

We received the full refund to which we were entitled, but it took five months to get it! The cruise was for October, we canceled in August and sent in claims, had to resend information again, and didn’t get our funds transferred into our account until January. Had to call several times to see what the delays were.

I did not have to worry about losing the money I paid for the trip if I became ill and could not go.

A person on this tour had to be taken to emergency. He did not have insurance, therefore he had to pay a large sum to be treated. I fell on a cobblestone street, but was the only thing injured was my pride, but it could have been me.

On our return three people did not find their baggage. If this had happened to me and it could not be located, I would have been compensated.
