Travel Insurance

Does anyone have any experience with either Travel Guard or Travelex? We are doing a family reunion cruise this summer and both of these offer a group rate. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have purchased both but never had to make a claim. I have heard good things about both here at CC, especially Travelguard. I just bought Travelex again for our next cruise.

If you go to insuremytrip.com, you can compare the coverages of both policies. I have always purchased travel insurance, including both Travel Guard and Travelex, as well as CSA. I believe Travelex gets the best score on insuremytrip.com, but I've never had problems with the other two. I had to put a claim into Travel Guard one time for expenses incurred when our ship got into port very late and we missed our flight. Had no problem. About a month ago, we had to cancel our 10 night Celebrity Summit cruise two weeks before sailing because my husband (45 years old and in seemingly perfect health) had a stroke. I've submitted all the paperwork to CSA, and after speaking with them yesterday regarding our claim, they tell me I should receive a check in approx. 2 weeks. So, we've had good experiences with both of those companies.

Thanks for the replies. I always take the travel insurance and I have used CSA in the past. I have thankfully never had to file a claim. I did a comparision on that website and it listed Travel Guard and Travelex as having the better prices. Before I made a decision, just wanted to hear any experiences from everyone.We are going with a Family Group and I am doing all the research and bookings so I am trying to get the most information I can.

Best of Luck to you and your husband . Hope that he will be feeling better soon. My husband also had a stroke a few years ago at the age of 46. He recovered and is doing well. It is something you do not think about at this age.

I had to cancel 24 hours prior to departure due to illness and Travelguard was great to deal with. They told me exactly what I needed to make a claim and paid off within two weeks of receiving the info..

Purchased Travelguard last year for our family cruise on the

Disney Wonder. I filed a claim due to hurricane Francis rearranging our trip.

I filed for trip interruption and trip delay received compensation fairly quickly.

I have purchased with them again for our trip on the Valor in May.
