America, I was lucky enough not to need to use the travel insurance. However after dealing with Legendary regarding two other issues, I wouldn't be suprised if the insurance was a scam. Since returning from the trip, I have been trying to Legendary to refund the fuel surcharge that Carnival refunded for each passenger. I'm being stonewalled by both Legendary and Carnival and I'm wondering how many others are having the same experience. I'm also interested in how many others were denied refunds on the cancelled Puerto Arenas excursions. Is there a lawyer out there who be interested in pursuing this money. I'd estimate that Legendary has refused to refund about $500,000 not counting the travel insurance. Having traveled on the 50 day trip around S.

I am an attorney and I am preparing a complaint against Legendary Journeys and the insurance company. LJ knew what they were selling and they knew that the bogus insurance company did not have a license to sell insurance in the state of Florida. Legendary Journeys should be hit hard as a result of their fraudulent activity. F. Wright My husband and I had to cancel also because of health reasons.

I am working with the various Florida consumer and financial departments. It would also be effective if the Federal Goverment were brought in so that criminal action for fraud could be applied to take these people off the streets. All of those that have been vitimized should band together to be more effective. Perhaps a law firm could begin to collect the name of the victims or possibly legally get the list from the bogus insurance companies. Hello,

We must cancel for medical reasons. I have had no response to my calls to Legendary Journeys for information on processing an insurance claim. After reading the account of others' experiences with Legendary Journeys and Prime Travel Protection in elliot.org, I realize I have been scammed. Does anyone know of any legal retribution in Florida? I am involved with Legendary Journeys and Prime Travel Protection attempting to file a claim for a tour around South America in February, 2009.

We had to cancel because of a serious illness. Thinking that this was a legitimate company, claim forms were sent to a location in Crab Tree, TN. Then, after numerous phone calls, we were advised that the company had been sold to a man in Arvada, CO. There were multiple delays, their last request was for my husband's complete medical records. Ten days later, the manager of a Chili's restaurant in Colorado called to inform us my husbands 24-page complete medical records had been left in his establishment. Obviously, not a professional organization. Complaints have been filed with the Attorney General's office in New York State and Colorado.
