We offer and strongly recommend that you purchase vacation protection. Complete coverage details and purchase options are available from your travel consultant. This is your decision, and you have the right to decline medical and cancellation protections offered by MAJC LLC/Cruise Differently LLC (DBA Red Hat Society Travel). If you decline to purchase this optional coverage, you agree to assume any and all financial loss associated with your travel arrangements, and you agree not to hold Princess Cruises, The Red Hat Society, Inc., and/or MAJC LLC/Cruise Differently LLC (DBA Red Hat Society Travel) responsible for any mishaps by waiving liability.
