Taxes can change at any time, as well as fuel surcharges, so these would be adjusted before final payment is due.
Trip Protection Insurance: A comprehensive travel insurance plan can be purchased to protect you and your vacation. This policy includes cancellation and interruption coverage, baggage coverage, medical coverage, and emergency travel assistance. The insurance premium is based on your total trip cost and age. It is suggested that you purchase the insurance policy with initial deposit, but no later than the final payment date. See the Consumer Terms & Conditions page for details regarding this travel insurance. To enroll for coverage, indicate “Yes” next to the trip insurance line on your reservation form, or contact Karol at 1-800-428-6290.
Cruise Gratuities – Current cruise gratuities for this cruise are $70.00 per person. We can collect these gratuities upfront with your package payments. These “pre-paid” gratuities will cover your Room Steward, Dining Room Waiter, Assistant Waiter, and the lido deck restaurant. Gratuities to the Maitre‘d are paid directly onboard the ship. The payment for the pre-paid gratuities can be made with your final payment.
Additional Package Options & Suggestions:
Pre Cruise Hotel in Galveston area. – Enjoy some extra time in this great city. I will put together a “pre-cruise” hotel stay in the Galveston area. This pre-cruise package will consist of 1 night in this city before or after the cruise. I will have prices on this sometime after the first of the year 2011.
Air transportation – If you will need air transportation for this cruise, please indicate that on your reservation form. It is too early to price this option but we will put together a group package for anyone flying. All flights come into Houston Airport, 1 ½ hours from Galveston. Galveston is a fairly easy drive from our area. It will be possible to car-pool. Please register for air transportation from your home city on the enclosed reservation form, and I’ll let you know what the air rates are mid-summer 2011.
Travel Insurance – Insurance coverage is so important. I can give you many horror stories about people who have lost money because they did not purchase insurance. The cost of the insurance is very minimal compared to the cost of your vacation. We recommend insurance is because cancellation penalties will apply if you should cancel, and one cannot anticipate unexpected medical expenses. Travel insurance rates are based on age and total vacation price.
Cancellation Penalties – Cancellation penalties do not start until September of 2011. A full description of cancellation penalties are listed on the Consumer Disclosure Notice.
Deposits & Payments – Your initial deposit of $100.00 will confirm your space and guarantee your rate. You can pay a $300.00 per person deposit, and secure your room assignment onboard the ship. Monthly payment plans are available, please call for details.
