Transfer of funds and/or credit to another person is not allowed.
If you purchased travel insurance and need to cancel your trip, you must file a claim directly with the travel insurance company for any reimbursement.

Travelers must have 50% of the total invoice amount paid by February 14th, 2026 in order to maintain an active reservation.
Final payments are due by June 14, 2026. Any reservation not paid in full by this date will be canceled and all monies paid will be forfeited.

Payments may be made on your reservation through your invoice 24 hours a day at your convenience.
Chargeback & Payment Dispute Policy
By submitting payment toward this reservation, the traveler acknowledges and agrees that all payments made to Blue Journeys LLC are non-refundable and non-transferable as outlined in these booking terms.
The traveler further agrees not to initiate a credit card chargeback or payment dispute for services rendered in accordance with the agreed booking terms.
In the event that a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, Blue Journeys LLC reserves the right to present this agreement, booking confirmations, invoices, and payment records to the financial institution as evidence that the traveler knowingly accepted these policies at the time of booking.
Reservation Name Accuracy
Your reservation must be made in your full legal name exactly as it appears on your passport.
Any name change or correction will result in a $50.00 fee added to your invoice.
Roommate & Occupancy Policy
Each roommate paying separately must complete a registration form and submit a deposit.
Travelers booking double occupancy should ensure their roommate is making timely payments toward the reservation.
If a roommate fails to make payments or cancels their reservation, the remaining traveler will be converted to the single occupancy rate.
If your roommate cancels, you will be responsible for the single occupancy rate and any difference in cost unless you obtain another roommate.
Blue Journeys LLC is not responsible for resolving personal disagreements between roommates.
If a roommate conflict requires a room change, any additional costs associated with separate accommodations will be the responsibility of the travelers involved and subject to hotel availability.
Bedding Requests
Bedding preference is considered a request. Bedding configuration cannot be guaranteed, though your preference will be submitted to the hotel.
Passport & Travel Documentation
All travelers must have a valid passport book with at least two blank pages and an expiration date no earlier than March 21, 2027.
Travelers are responsible for ensuring they possess the proper travel documentation required for international travel.

This page must be separate from endorsement or amendment pages at the back of the passport.
UAE government regulations may prohibit airlines from boarding passengers without the required blank visa page. Extracts or copies of documents are not acceptable.
Visa Requirements
A visa is not required for travel to Dubai for U.S. citizens visiting for 90 days or less.
