Dynamic Pricing - As pricing is dynamic, pricing is accurate as of September 15, 2026. If the price increases more than $100.00 per person when your completed booking form is received, you will be contacted for approval, before processing the reservation. If the price increases, and it is less than $100.00 per person when your completed booking form is received, your invoice will be updated to reflect the current price, and your booking will be processed normally. 

As air is not yet available for these dates, it is estimated in the package price. Once air becomes available, pricing will be adjusted to reflect the actual price. 

Additional rates, such as Quint or Single occupancy are available upon request. Please send an email to: obrooks1@gdstravelsolutions.com to be confirmed in a single occupancy category or other occupancy rates. Single occupancy rooms require a $700.00 deposit to confirm. 

Booking Form Instructions - If using ONE PAYMENT METHOD, select the proper number of travelers, and complete the form. If PAYING SEPARATE, only select ONE TRAVELER, and select the appropriate option. 

DISCLOSURES

Air Travel

As the dates are more than a year away, air is not available and pricing is estimated. Once air becomes available for this itinerary, pricing will be adjusted on your invoice to reflect the actual price. 

Cancellation Policy

The initial down payment of $350 per person ($700 per person single occupancy) plus options is now due. The balance will be divided into equal monthly payments due by the 15th of each month, with the final payment due June 15, 2027. A 4% processing/convenience fee is added to all electronic payments. 

Once the initial deposit has been made, the cancellation policy is as follows:

An agency fee of $75 per person will apply in addition to the cancellation penalty and will be charged prior to processing the cancellation.

Travel Insurance

Pricing for travel insurance will be provided once the deposit is processed. Travel insurance must be paid in full when added and must be added by June 15, 2027. Travel insurance pricing that includes cancel for any reason must be added and paid in full within 72 hours of processing the deposit.  A separate invoice will be sent to process the payment for travel insurance.

Separate Traveler Deposits

For travelers sharing a room but paying their deposits separately, all required deposits must be received on the same day to secure the reservation under the intended occupancy.

If all deposits are not received on the same day, the reservation will be confirmed based on the number of occupants whose deposits have been received. For example, if a room is intended for double occupancy and only one traveler’s deposit is received, the reservation will be confirmed as single occupancy.

Once the remaining traveler’s deposit is received, GDS Travel Solutions will update the reservation to reflect the intended occupancy, subject to availability and any applicable rate adjustments, fees, or deposit requirements at the time of the change. GDS Travel Solutions cannot guarantee that the original rate, room type, or occupancy terms will remain available if the required deposits are not received on the same day.

By submitting a deposit separately, each traveler acknowledges and agrees to these terms.

Changes in Occupancy

Please know that it is your responsibility to be sure that whoever you choose as your roommate/travel mate for your selected travel event is also making their monthly payments. We can provide roommate account summaries upon request.

Cancellation of a person or persons in a package that involve a change in room configuration or category (for example, from double occupancy to single occupancy or from oceanview to balcony) are subject to the rates in effect at the time the cancellation is made. If the change is made after the deposit is made, a $75 change fee will be implemented, in addition to the difference in pricing if applicable.

Name Changes

IF A NAME CHANGE IS ALLOWED. CERTAIN PROMOTIONS DO NOT ALLOW NAME CHANGES, a $75 name change fee applies to all reservations, if a roommate is changed. This fee is in additional to any cancellation policies incurred by the roommate that cancels. If a roommate cancels, and a replacement can't be found, the reservation will be rebooked and subject to the rates based on the remaining occupant(s) in effect at that time. Only one name change per cabin is allowed. If name changes are not allowed, the reservation will need to be cancelled and rebooked at the prevailing rate.

Missed Embarkation Disclosure

The ship departs at 4:00 pm. Not 4:35, 5:17 or 5:26pm. You must check in on the vessel at least 2 hours prior to departure OR you WILL be DENIED boarding. If you miss embarkation, YOU WILL FORFEIT your cruise.

Monthly Payment/Abandonment of Reservation

After you make your first deposit, you are required to make monthly payments, or your booking may be cancelled for abandonment of reservation. This event is designed to allow for flexible monthly payments. Monthly payments are due on the 15th of each month. If you find yourself in a difficult financial situation and cannot make monthly payments, please email us immediately. If two months have passed without payment or communication, an initial notice of cancellation will be sent. If no communication or payment is made after the initial notice, the reservation will be cancelled. All previous payments will be forfeited and the cancellation policy in effect at that time will be applied. This may cause financial impact to remaining roommates. Final payment is due June 15, 2027. If you fail to make your final payment by the due date, your reservation will automatically cancel with penalties. If the trip can be reinstated, a reinstatement fee of $100 per person will apply.

Issuance of Travel Documents

Provided full payment is received no later than your Final Payment Due date, travel documents and travel instructions will be sent via email and/or mail 14 days or earlier before travel.

Credit Card Transactions & Chargebacks

If for any reason, any travel service vendor is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the vendor, and not against GDS Travel Solutions. In the event that payment has been made to by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment. If GDS Travel Solutions incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If the credit card is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owed via money order or cash immediately.

Force Majeure

There may be times when either party is unable to perform, or complete performance, under the travel contract for reasons out of each other’s control. These are called force majeure events and, if they occur, make performing under the contract inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible. Events that may trigger this provision include but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolts, military action, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, or the threat thereof, pandemics, epidemics, illnesses or health conditions prevalent in the area of travel, earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, and explosions, unexpected legislation, or any other event outside the reasonable control of either party.

In the event that a force majeure event occurs, the parties will look to and follow the cancellation policies of the suppliers, what is stated in the travel proposal, and these terms & conditions. Any changes to those policies are at the sole discretion of the supplier (if applicable) and Travel Agency. Passengers will be informed of their options if a force majeure event occurs.
