Terms & Conditions:

Pricing, availability and itinerary are subject to change at the discretion of the supplier and/or R&R Luxury Travel Agency. Please note that by joining us on any experience gives R&R Luxury Travel Agency permission to use any and all photographs/videos for media and release.
 

DEPOSITS: All deposits are non-refundable. Please review the cancellation policy before making your reservation.  

PASSPORTS: Passports are NOT required, but are strongly recommended. If not using a passport, an original, legible copy of your birth certificate and original non-expired government issued photo ID is required to board the ship. Please review TRAVEL DOCUMENTS to learn more about required travel documents. 

CANCELLATION POLICY: All deposits and subsequent payments are non-refundable. Your cancellation must be received in writing prior to Dec 1, 2023. After this date, you will need travel insurance to receive any compensation. Please remember you must keep your payments current to avoid forfeiting any discounts, promotions, incentives or risking complete cancellation without refund.

NAME CHANGES: Name changes are allowed for free up until your room is assigned only. Once your room has been assigned, a name change fee will apply. See below for name change fees. If the new traveler is replacing someone who has missed payments, the new traveler will be required to make those payments at the time he/she is added. If the missed payments have caused the cabin rate to be forfeited, the current rates will apply at the time the new payments are received. In the event that we sell out of space prior to the payment being received by the new traveler, the initial deposit and all other payments received will be forfeited. Please note, complete names changes of everyone on the reservation are not allowed. At least 1 original traveler who booked in the room must remain on the reservation at all times, otherwise, this is considered a cancellation, not a name change.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance for your vacation investment. Travel Insurance can protect you if you need to cancel after final payment, your baggage gets lost, you get hurt on your trip and more. The cost for travel insurance is usually around 5-10% of the cruise rate. Factors such as state of residency, age of traveler and trip destination are all included in determining the cost. 

ONLINE CHECK-IN: All travelers are required to complete his/her online check-in prior to the cruise. FAILURE TO COMPLETE ONLINE CHECK MAY RESULT IN YOUR BEING DENIED BOARDING OF THE SHIP.
