An inherent risk of exposure to Covid-19 (“COVID”) exists in all places where people are present. COVID is extremely contagious and can lead to severe illness, disability, and/or death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), individuals with underlying medical conditions and/or older adults are especially vulnerable. By visiting any destination, property, or by traveling on any vehicle, airplane or cruise ship, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID and agree to adhere to health and safety protocols that may be required by law, the travel provider, property manager, cruise operator, including, but not limited to, social distancing measures, face mask requirements, health screenings, proof of vaccination and COVID testing, which may change from time to time and for which you may incur additional fees. Travel providers, including but not limited to cruise lines, may in their sole discretion, modify, cancel or reschedule any travel plans or arrangements for reasons due to COVID or otherwise. The CDC publishes travel advice, warnings and recommendations related to COVID, which along with the travel providers website should be reviewed before travel.
COVID TESTING & VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
Cruise lines may require guests to test for COVID and/or show proof of vaccination, on or before embarkation. Please verify the cruise line's requirements by completing your pre-cruise registration and visiting the cruise line's website. Failure to do so at least 14 days prior to departure may result in your booking being cancelled or denied boarding with no refund.
COVID RESTRICTIONS BY PORT
It's important for guests to familiarize themselves with the health & safety protocols for all ports visited during their cruise. Refer to the cruise line's website for details, restrictions, or any changes to the itinerary. Failure to comply with applicable COVID vaccination/testing requirements could result in denied boarding with no refund.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Depending on the cruise line and ship, guests 12 years or older that are NOT vaccinated may not be permitted to travel or may require proof of Travel Insurance upon check-in. Failure to provide proof will result in denied boarding with no refund. Please contact the cruise line directly for regulations.
Also, it is imperative that you provide your direct contact information to the cruise line via your pre-cruise registration so they can advise you of any lastminute changes with regard to vaccination/testing requirements and/or changes to your sailing.

We may also include Our service fee in the Taxes and Fees section, which is a fee You pay to Us. The charge for Taxes and Fees varies based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the amount We pay the hotel and the location of the hotel where you will be staying, and may include profit that We retain.

We recognize that chargebacks can happen for a variety of valid reasons. However, if You make a credit card payment through Us, and You later dispute this legitimate charge by raising a chargeback without merit, whether fraudulently or otherwise, We may take steps to recover any charges resulting from such an unmerited chargeback from you directly. Invalid chargebacks include but are not limited to: disputing a charge made outside of the prescribed cancellation policy; disputing a charge made in respect of the booking which you fail to make reasonable efforts to work with Us or provider to resolve any issues; or requesting a chargeback without a legitimate reason and/or failing to provide any supporting information in respect of the chargeback to allow those parties from which the chargeback is requested to assess the basis of the chargeback request. We take a zero-tolerance approach to chargeback fraud. Furthermore, in the event of any unmerited chargeback requests, We reserve the right to recover monies by any legitimate means available to us, including using a third-party debt collection agency, or any other lawful means to recover funds successfully charged back to you in such circumstances.

The Best Value Guarantee ensures that the price paid when combining our already low prices with the redemption of any loyalty currency (where applicable) will be better than the lowest publicly available market price of any other qualified seller. If at the time of Your purchase or within 24 hours after Your purchase our combined value is not better than the lowest publicly available market price of any other qualified seller, We will match the qualified seller’s lowest market price and credit Your account 110% of the price difference in the form of Rewards Credits. Such guarantee is subject to these Best Value Guarantee Terms.
Reporting a Lower Price Claim:
You must have paid for your reservation in full and received a valid confirmation number from us in order to report a lower price claim. You must contact us within 24 hours after Your purchase or booking with us to make a claim under the Best Value Guarantee (“Claim”). The lower price must be available for purchase at the time You contact us, as determined solely by our customer service representatives. All qualifying purchases or bookings must be made using a valid credit card with a United States billing address.
What is considered a lower price?
The lower price must be for an identical product or booking as determined in our sole discretion. All product or booking details must exactly match the details of the product You purchased or booked through Us, for example the specific carrier or provider (including class of service), the specific hotel (including room type), the specific rental car company and vehicle class, the applicable refund policy, the dates and times of travel or service, the specific routings (for example, same stopovers), the specific merchandise, wine, golf, box office or other lifestyle product, and other purchase or booking details including cancellation policies.
1. Best Value Guarantee. Best Value Guarantee valid for up to 24 hours after booking. A lower price than our combined value must be found within 24 hours of booking, and verifiable proof is required of public availability of such lower price. If you find a price lower than our combined value by greater than one dollar and your request is approved, we will match that lower price and credit Your account 110% of the price difference in the form of Rewards Credits. You will be responsible for any change or cancellation fees. To verify a lower price, proof must be provided by calling Customer Service at 866-724-5190 and by providing advertisements or web site addresses as directed by the Our customer service representative.

Products must meet an “Apples to Apples” comparison and all non-governmental processing, booking, or similar fees will be considered when analyzing the overall prices charged by third parties. Product prices must be advertised and available to the general public on an English language website. Websites that do not reveal the supplier or product details until after payment has been completed (including bidding websites) do not qualify. Best Value Guarantee does not apply to products requiring a call-back or on products offered on e-mails that are not advertised on public access websites, or otherwise available to the general public, on prepaid products that involve a voucher, or certificate, or on-board credit, or flash sales, or discount buying clubs or on products available on auction websites, or with discount offered to members who must meet specific criteria. The lower price must be quoted and booked in U.S. dollars (without reference to currency converters).

The lower price may not come from a website where you call-in in order to get the price, or from an e-mail that You received. The price must be quoted, booked, and paid for in US dollars. Lower prices do not include errors or mistakes.
