    Reserved a cruise with Celebrity constellation purchased the insurance thru AON. Cancelled the trip due to exacerbation of my ocular vertigo/dizziness. And balance issues on January 18th. Provided AON with everything they requested including a note from *****************. Spoke to Jhun on February 8. He promised / assured me they had everything they needed for a decision. On 2/12 they requested a release of information for all my medical records. After researching AON they appear to have scammed a lot of ppl. I am requesting a full refund as that is why we purchased the insurance. Since my stroke my health is erratic.

    I am writing to formally address a grievance regarding the handling of my father, ************************************, medical emergency and the subsequent reimbursement process. In October, during a cruise, my father became ill, necessitating his disembarkation and hospitalization in ******** for 12 days. Following this, he required medical repatriation to *****************, accompanied by a *********, a service for which we fronted all the expenses. We were assured of reimbursement for these costs, as well as for the additional hospitalization my father underwent upon his return to the States, which lasted a month and a half.I have diligently submitted all necessary documentation, including hospital bills, charges from the cruise's emergency medical team, and payments with receipts, as instructed. Despite following the procedure laid out by your travel insurance, which involved first filing a claim with my father's primary healthcare insurance and then seeking coverage from you upon their denial, our experience has been fraught with challenges. Since November, we have received repeated denials and requests for information already provided, as per the instructions from my father's primary healthcare insurance.This situation has not only imposed a significant financial burden but also added unnecessary stress during a time of critical health concern for my father. We seek your immediate attention to rectify this matter by processing the reimbursement promptly and without further undue complications.I can upload receipts and medical records, but I will wait until requested due to HIPPA laws.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the swift response I received as soon as I lodged a complaint. It's astonishing how filing a complaint was necessary for action. Advocating for my elderly parents was crucial for them to receive the funds they deserved, highlighting the unfortunate reality of the situation.

    We are still awaiting the arrival of the funds.

    I purchased the Travel Insurance and I had a heart attack while on a NCL cruise August/September. The ships medical team revived me and I was transported to the Hospital in *******. My wife tried everything to get them to help her get both of us home to ***********. but they never called her back, never checked in to help, nothing, My wife had to have a family member fly to ******* to help get me home. We filed the claim and have sent all the requested documents 6 times. Each time we call we get people that do not speak or understand english. They do not have supervisors to talk to nothing. We send emails that are ignored. It is now 6 months and they have failed to pay the full claim that is owed. They have paid a few things and there is over $8K outstanding plus the travel and Hotels to get me home. This has destroyed my credit not to mention created a lot of added stress and worry that I do not need.

    I filed a claim via the Aon travel website regarding cancellation of the trip and request for resolution of my claim. All paperwork, as requested, was completed and submitted to Aon Travel. I have made attempts to resolve this claim over the phone by contacting their customer service number. When I reach someone, I get "what I see is" or "this is what it says". I requested to speak directly to someone handling the claim and was placed on hold for several minutes without anyone picking up the phone. They are now claiming that they are waiting on "medical records" from my GP and my Neurosurgeon (who responded promptly) when the initial paperwork was requested. I have provided their contact information 2x to Aon. There's always another piece of paper or another reason why they aren't addressing the claim. The website says the claim is to take 15 days. We have surpassed 15 days at this time with no explanation or communication other than a random email that we are working on your claim from 2 weeks ago.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    Although I received a refund, it has taken months a filing of this complaint along with a Department of Insurance complaint to obtain a refund.  Had this been a reputable company, consumers should not have to resort to filing complaints to obtain a refund in accordance with the travel protection plan.  How many other consumers have been scammed out of their money and were discouraged or did not have the knowledge to pursue these remedies?

    I purchased Aon insurance on a cruise scheduled for September 25,2023. It was for my moms birthday. The trip was for four people. Our flight to ***** was canceled at 2:00am the night before. We were already at the airport hotel so we went to the airport to see if we could take a different flight. There were not other flights going there that day. So I returned all my family members back to their homes and I drove the 2 hours back home. I called the insurance company on the way home to file a claim. 2 weeks later I had not heard anything so I called them. They told me there wasnt a claim filed. So I went through filing the claim all over again. I uploaded all the paperwork and each time they would say they were reviewing it. Each time I would receive an email asking for more information. Each time I tried contacting the cruise line and Travelocity to obtain receipts and they would tell me I would have to get them from the other. I feel like they are all in it together. It has been four minutes maths and the last email I received says they still need more information and let them know if I would like to close my claim. Of course I dont want to close my claim. I am out $2455.08
