Multiple requests for documentation for trip interruption when cruise line canceled departure port of Lisbon. We were forced to leave the ship on day earlier in order to make our return flight back to the US. Nationwide insists documentation is incomplete despite multiple submissions of requested invoices and payments. It has been 6 weeks of frustration …Still awaiting reimbursements.
Just purchased it for our trip. It was never needed, but at least we had the coverage had it been necessary.
Because of an illness we thought we may have to cancel our trip and file a claim. Talking to customer service to find out what might need to be done they were extremely helpful in laying the groundwork should we have had to.
We didn’t but I felt confident knowing what would need to be done.
