Terms & Conditions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read Invoice Thoroughly: Please review this invoice in its entirety. The Client will be the only recipient of invoices and is solely responsible to convey all information listed on invoices to all travel companions. The Client agrees that Crown Cruise Vacations may discuss travel arrangements with any passenger or travelling companion.

Supplier websites contain important information concerning your vacation. Carefully review supplier's policies concerning cancellation penalties, changes, required documentation, etc.


Pregnancy

Many cruise lines will not allow passengers to travel who will enter their 24th week of pregnancy during the sailing. Please check with the cruise line before booking your cruise as they may charge penalties for cancellation.


Proof of Citizenship/Travel Requirements

Proper proof of Citizenship is required for all vacations. Visit http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html for updated passport information. Marriage certificates or legal name change documentation may be required. Non U.S. citizens must contact their country's governmental embassy or consulate concerning specific travel documentation requirements. Passenger names must match the identification used for travel.


Visas

Certain countries do require visas for entry and exit. Be sure to check with your country's consulate to verify what may be needed. You must check with the cruise line you are sailing with to verify that you have the correct documentation. Crown Cruise Vacations will not be responsible for incorrect travel documentation. Please visit CIBT Visas for all your Passport and visa requirements.


Fuel Supplement

Please be advised that each supplier reserves the right to institute a fuel supplement for all passengers. This supplement may be added by the supplier at any time up until travel date. Customer agrees to pay any and all Fuel Supplements.


Government Fees and Taxes

Government Fees and Taxes are subject to change. Each supplier reserves the right to collect any increases even if the fare has already been paid in full. Customer agrees to pay any and all increases in Government Fees and Taxes.


Cruise Line Pre-registration

Most cruise lines now require all passengers to pre-register for their cruise prior to sailing.


Dining/Bedding

Dining is only on a request basis, and is at the cruise line's discretion. If traveling with other passengers, please contact Crown Cruise Vacations to cross-reference the reservations for dining. If applicable, locate your cabin to verify its location and bedding options. Crown Cruise Vacations will not be held liable for any dining changes for whatever reasons. Verify that the ship, sail date, departure date (if different from sailing date) and itinerary on this invoice match the supplier's current itinerary for accuracy, as suppliers do change itineraries from time to time.


Upgrades

Certain cruise lines automatically enter passengers for possible upgrades, even if a cabin assignment is selected. Unless notified by the customer, all passengers are eligible for upgrades, and if notified Crown Cruise Vacations may accept the upgrade on behalf of the customer.


Payments

Deposit is required at the time of booking. This deposit will be charged automatically with the credit card entered or given to an agent while booking. Crown Cruise Vacations cannot be responsible for cancelled reservations due to declined credit cards, debit cards, exceeding daily limits, or if the cruise line rejects the credit card for any reason. Crown Cruise Vacations will try to reach the client at the phone number, or email address on file for other means of payment. Final payment will be charged to the credit card on file on the final payment date on this invoice. If using a debit card be aware that many banks have daily limits for withdrawal. Crown Cruise Vacations accepts all major credit cards, bank checks (personal checks are only accepted 90 days or more prior to the travel date), certified checks, and money orders. Crown Cruise Vacations must be notified at least 10 days before the final payment date if any change to the payment method is necessary. Changing the credit card information on the website does not automatically change payment methods on previously booked vacations.

*$50 fee will be charged for ALL RETURNED CHECKS


Travel Insurance

Travel insurance provides protection for the traveler in the event that the trip is cancelled due to certain circumstances (for specific inclusions/exclusions, please contact your Cruise Specialist for details of insurance). Travel Insurance also protects in the event of many medical emergencies, and in some instances, pre-existing medical conditions. Some other benefits may include emergency medical evacuation, and travel document and ticket replacement assistance. If Travel Insurance is not purchased Crown Cruise Vacations assumes that you have declined Travel Insurance. If you are interested in purchasing trip insurance, contact us immediately.


Air/Sea Transportation Restrictions

Air booked through the cruise line is on request only. If you purchase air transportation directly from the cruise line and there are delays with your assigned air carrier, in many cases the airline will be able to make arrangements for you to reach the ship. Crown Cruise Vacations assumes no responsibility for assigned air, flights, seating, schedule, or any issues involving air travel. The cruise line reserves the right to choose the air carrier, routing, flight times, and specific airport for each gateway city. If you make other air transportation arrangements (i.e., through a third party other than the cruise line), THE CRUISE LINE OR AGENT ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY. Additionally, if you encounter delays and miss the ship, you assume all responsibility for, but not limited to, loss of time, money or property. INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Any special requests for air must be done at least 90 days prior to the departure date. This service is an air deviation; suppliers may charge additional fees for this service. CCV is not responsible for any flights assigned. Schedules may require overnight travel to/from the port city. Service may be jet, commuter or charter flights. The cruise lines do not guarantee that guests traveling with other guests will be on the same airline or routing.


Coupons and Repricing

Crown Cruise Vacations will accept Vendor coupons at 75% of the applied value. Certain coupons cannot be combined with our discount rates, as select coupons are only available on the cruise lines full fare. We must be contacted before any coupon can be sent. Price adjustments are at the sole discretion of the cruise line and may not be available on all rates/sailings as they may be for new bookings only. Crown Cruise Vacations has the right to deny the application of any coupon.


Review All Tickets and Documents

Most cruise lines now offer electronic documents as the only option for documents. Luggage tags will now be available upon arrival at the pier. Documents will be available to be printed from the cruise line website within 30 days of sailing. Select cruise lines will have printed documents. These documents will be sent within 21 days of sailing. It is the sole responsibility of the client to review and verify all information printed on the supplier's tickets, documents and/or accompanying literature. Thoroughly review the tickets in their entirety. Verify all passenger accommodations, ascertain that all names are correct and match the documentation that you will be using for identification. All vendors require pre-registration forms to be completed online or via fax. These forms must be completed prior to the vacation—it is your responsibility to make certain this has been done prior to your vacation. Suppliers may charge a substantial fee plus applicable fare increases for changes made after the tickets and/or documents are issued.



The supplier in accordance with their cancellation policies may charge cancellation penalties. Please review the cruise lines policies regarding cancellation prior to booking your reservation. Client assumes full responsibility for these cancellation fees. All requests to cancel a reservation must be in writing. It may take up to 3 days from receipt of cancellation notification to have reservation cancelled. Client assumes full responsibility if additional cancellation fees are incurred during the processing period.
