  I purchased a cruise for my partner and I, however due to the murder of our son, there were court proceedings that were going to take place during this time, so we had to cancel. *************** had no problem with a full refund; however, the travel insurance has made this an extreme nightmare. At first, they denied it and the agent I spoke with, ****, escalated it and he then called me back to say he had received approval to overturn the original decision, and it has been approved for payment. The extenuating circumstance was understood, and a decision was made to refund the money. Now they have the audacity to send a letter stating after an internal review an overpayment was made and they're requesting the money back. Their employee whomever reviewed my appeal APPROVED it and how dare you ask that I return the money after you've overturned and approved this. And all of this is being done 3 days before the anniversary of our son's murder. This is unacceptable, they cannot go back on an internal decision that was made. The money has been paid to ****** to clear this account. I would like resolution to this matter.

  Edit Description of complaint:I booked a cruise on 5/14/25 ****** for $1788 & I added travel protection for cancellation purposes. Due to the *S going to war & now restricting travel in & out of the * S. I decided to cancel. I called carnival on 6/26/26 at 11am spoke to a rude rep **** Was taking over me. Didnt send he a cancellation email. I had to call 3 times to get a cancellation email. Then, they told me they taking $280 in fees out of the $1788 I had payments to pay through a company called uplift. I also spoke to Aon affinity is the trip cancellation company claim. # ********* said due to travel ban outside **. I dont qualify to get my full money back. This is the first time & last time Ill book with carnival due to cancellation fees I wasnt aware of & the poor customer service. Then, I did pay $162.54 to uplift as my first payment. I want my full amount credited back to me because its not my fault that *S citizens are not recommended to travel.

  Had to cancel a cruise because my son required an emergency liver transplant. Sent documentation from the transplant ** along with a letter from a ** they required information from. Now they are requiring access at all medical records to determine if the should pay my claim. They feel its a preexisting condition even though the ** said it was not. This is extremely upsetting. I received a partial refund from the cruise line and was told the insurance company would do the rest.

  Complaint Details:We purchased a vacation protection plan through Royal Caribbean, provided by Aon Affinity Travel Practice, to protect against unexpected cancellations. On February 8, 2025, we had to cancel our trip due to a health issue my husband experienced: hydronephrosis of left kidney due to progression of lymphoma.Scheduled cruise dates: Feb *****, 2025.We provided all required documentation (personally as well as directly from the physician's office) and have made multiple calls to customer service over several months. Despite assurances that our case was under review, we have received no resolution. On 3/10/25, an *** claims *** indicated over the phone she thought the claim could be resolved by end of week. Since then, they have only indicated things like, "under review, secondary review, re-review, awaiting full finalization, etc."This has been both financially and emotionally distressing - and time-consuming. We are simply asking *** to honor the protection plan we paid for and provide the coverage we were promised.Resolution Sought: 100% refund of the cancellation penalty, in accordance with the policy terms.

  I purchased travel protection when booking a cruise an extra 200 dollars on top of the cruise fee to be insured by travel protection insurer Aon Affinity. I filed a claim on 04/08/2025 with Aon Affinity claim number (*********) due to my Mother who was booked on the cruise with me experiencing health issues. I sent a document showing my mothers health issue. Aon Affinity kept asking for more documents, wanted me to accumulate more expenses by visiting a doctor which costs $120 per visit. They will take your more without any assurance but when it comes time to pay for the protection you purchased they will run you in loops to get your money they make unreasonable demands , for more documents and to incur more expenses.

  A Carnival Cruise with two staterooms was booked in March, and we elected to take the travel insurance provided by AON Affinity. Our situation has changed, and we had decided to decline the travel insurance. I tried to cancel it through the Carnival website, but was told that I had to contact *** directly. I have emails dating back to April 24 trying to initiate a cancellation of the policy with *** before the entire balance of the cruise was due, and I have only heard from the company twice since then, both times only stating that my claim for a refund had been successfully submitted. At that point, I was not looking for a refund, only a cancellation. Within the past three days, I have had to pay the balance for the cruise, including the insurance I couldn't cancel. At this point, it indeed has turned into a request for a refund. I got tired of not getting a response through email, so I decided to try to call AON. The person I reached told me that there was nothing they could do to help me over the phone, that I had to use this email address. So now, I'm back to emailing, which I feel is getting futile. If I could have found the President or Vice President of the Business, I would have included them in this email. At this point, I am getting tired of the runaround, and I feel I'm getting the runaround on purpose so that the company can claim that I have gone over their time frame in which to receive a refund. This is getting extremely frustrating. At this point, I want more than just a response saying that I'm in line for a review of my refund request and that they'll let me know in 4 weeks. I, at the very least, want weekly updates on where they are in the process and whether or not they are seriously considering the refund request. The travel insurance was $149/person, and we had 4 people in our party for a final refund request of $596, which is not an insignificant amount of money. No tracking numbers or claim numbers have been given to me by ***

  I am filing a formal complaint regarding the repeated denial and mishandling of my travel insurance claim (Claim ID: [insert]) for a trip from October 511, 2024. Due to a mandatory hurricane evacuation in *******, we were forced to leave on October 9 and forfeited two prepaid nights at a ******************** rental, valued at $690. I filed my claim on 11/12/2024 with supporting documents from ****** and ******************** Rentals.Despite clear documentation, my claim was denied on 1/5/25. I refiled on 1/6, 1/23, and 2/10each time receiving a denial without any indication that further investigation occurred. On 2/25, ****** refunded park tickets, meals, and Lightning Lane purchases. I made it clear to Aon on 3/30 that the claim now only covered the $690 in non-refundable accommodations. I refiled on 4/1 and again on 4/11 after receiving only a vague voicemail with no context. That same day, I explained that Aon was failing to conduct a reasonable investigation and not attempting a fair settlement.When I logged in on 5/5, my claim showed as closed. I never received a written denial.This process has been exhausting and unfair. The documentation clearly supports my loss. I am requesting that *** reopen and approve the $690 claim immediately and provide a full explanation for past denials. If this is not resolved within 10 business days, I will escalate this to the state insurance commissioner and relevant consumer protection agencies

  I booked a trip with Norwegian Cruise Line on April 11 for me and my husband and two kids.I took the insurance believing that my trip would be covered if anything should happen.About 5 years ago my husband was diagnosed with early onset *******************. He always loved cruises and I thought this would be a nice trip for my family. My husband was stable always happy no issues until after I booked the cruise overnight he became a totaly different person becoming very agiatated and violent. I spoke to his neurologist and he insisted that this trip should be canceled. I filed a claim sent in the appropriate documentation and was denied for a pre-existing condition. I took this insurance through Norwegian thinking I would be 100% covered should something happen never in the description did it say pre-existing medical issues would not be covered.

  Was planning a cruise for 1/12/2025 and purchase AON travel insurance for peace of mind. In December I started having extreme hypertension (218/108) and palpitations. I was seen at the ** and my pcp. My PCP told me not to go on the cruise. On 1/6 I called Carnival and cancelled the cruise and started the claim with *** the following day. I have been trying for 4 months to get this rectified and its always we didnt receive this, we dont have that, we need and on and on. The ** doctor was a traveling physician so we had no way to get her statement but agreed that the discharge info from the hospital would be enough. That was 2 months ago. I sent the info then. On April 7th I emailed it again. Today after 30 minute run around I was finally able to speak to a claims adjuster who said the didnt have it. I emailed it directly to her and she then told me she was my claims person and couldnt give me contact information for my claims adjuster. I bought this insurance for peace of mind that if something extreme did happen and my daughter and I couldnt go on this cruise we would be protected. 4 months later it has been nothing short of a nightmare. After reading reviews it appears this company is famous for this type of behavior. When I purchased it directly through ******** I assumed they would be a reputable company, as Carnival seems to be. I was wrong. Im not sure what to do Please help!
