Terms & Conditions
Health and safety protocols are continually being evaluated and updated as public health standards evolve. Cruise lines reserve the right to make changes to their health and safety requirements at any time. It is your responsibility to review and understand the latest requirements as they are updated by the cruise line. By making your final payment, you acknowledge and agree to meet the cruise line's health requirements at the time of your cruise. Make sure to check our Help Center at least 60 days prior to sailing to for more information on the latest health requirements by cruise line, ship and destination.
Cruise lines may deny boarding to anyone who has not met the latest health requirements as determined by the cruise line at the time of sailing. In addition, any guests who are exhibiting symptoms of communicable disease(s) including COVID-19 or whose health screening results show they may have contracted such disease(s) may not be able to cruise. Boarding may also be denied to those whom they deem to be in close contact, or in the traveling party of, any guest exhibiting symptoms of communicable disease, including some or all of that guest’s traveling party.
NOTICE: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes travel advice, warnings and recommendations related to COVID-19, including for travel on cruise ships, which you should consult at the CDC’s website at cdc.gov/travel/notices before confirming a reservation. If a certain threshold level of COVID-19 is detected onboard the ship during your voyage, the voyage will end, the ship will return to the port of embarkation, and your subsequent travel, including your return home, may be restricted or delayed. Due to evolving health protocols, imagery and messaging may not accurately reflect onboard and destination experiences, offerings, features, or itineraries. These may not be available during your voyage, may vary by ship and destination, and may be subject to change without notice.
Company is pleased to have the opportunity to act as your booking agent for your travel. "We," "us," "our" and "Company" refer to Lainey Melnick, ACC & Associates - Dream Vacations. "You" and "your" refer to the customer visiting our website, booking a reservation through us (through our website or otherwise), or otherwise using our services.
By booking your travel with us or accessing or using our website in any manner, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth below (this "Agreement"). Please read this Agreement carefully. If you do not accept all of these terms and conditions, please do not use our website or make bookings through our website or our vacation specialists. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion at any time and from time to time, to change or otherwise modify this Agreement without prior notice, and your continued access or use of our website or booking your travel with us signifies your acceptance of any changes.
You represent and warrant to us that (a) you are of sufficient age to use our services and website and can create binding legal obligations in connection with your use, (b) you are legally authorized to act on behalf of those you represent and accept these terms and conditions on their behalf, and (c) the information supplied by you or members of your group is correct and complete. You are responsible for informing such other persons of all terms and conditions applicable to their travel arrangements. You understand that you are financially responsible for any use of our services or website by you and those using your name or account.
Any violation of this Agreement may result in the cancellation of your reservation or purchase, your forfeiture of any monies paid for your reservation or purchase, and you being denied access to the applicable travel.
If you book your travel with us, you will be entering into a separate contract with each applicable travel supplier. Your travel is subject to the terms and conditions contained in each such contract.
The travel supplier, government entity or any other third party reserves the right to cancel this trip or substitute any scheduled port of call at any time and for any reason whatsoever without prior notice, and we shall not be held liable for any loss to guests by reason of such cancellation or substitution. The travel supplier's cancellation, rebooking and refund policies, subject to any applicable law that is now or may later be in effect, will govern your rights and remedies, including your right to receive a refund. Moreover, should you elect to purchase travel insurance, the terms of the policy will dictate whether, and to what extent, coverage for any financial loss may exist under the circumstances.
For each change in travel that is approved by the travel supplier, our standard service fee (minimum $35 per person) and any other travel supplier charges or penalties will apply. All travel changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the travel purchased.
If you cancel your travel, you may be entitled to a partial refund if the terms and conditions of your travel supplier allow. However, our standard cancellation fee and any other travel supplier charges or penalties will apply. In addition, deposits may be non-refundable based on the travel supplier policies. All allowed refunds require a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks to process and are subject to the policies of the travel suppliers. We are not responsible for a travel supplier's failure to perform in any way, including to pay a refund. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy (if you purchase such a policy), you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.
Payment of a deposit enables us to hold a reservation for you but does not guarantee the price. The price can only be guaranteed once we receive full payment and other travel documents have been issued, subject to any terms and conditions of the travel supplier. We will advise you of the date that full payment is required. Upon your provision of your payment information, you are authorizing us to make the payment arrangements with the corresponding travel suppliers.
After full payment, the terms of the contract with your travel suppliers may permit them to increase the cost of your arrangements. Permitted increases include changes in the cost of fuel, taxes, fees and exchange rates. If we are acting as your booking agent, we will promptly notify you of any material increase once we become aware of such increase. You are fully responsible for all such increased costs.
For your protection, we recommend that you may minimize your exposure to potential financial loss by purchasing your travel bookings with a credit card. There will be a charge added to your invoice for checks returned to us by our bank.
You have the choice to purchase a "cruise only" package, and to make air arrangements separately. Please speak with your vacation specialist about this option.
Travel insurance coverage is optional and strongly recommended to help protect against airline, cruise line or other travel supplier bankruptcies as well as other important coverages while traveling. For your convenience, we offer LeisureCare Travel Insurance which becomes effective upon our receipt of the plan cost amount, in addition to any required travel package payments due. The plan is available for purchase until final trip payment.
You have the right to question or challenge any invoice or other billing. You agree that for charges that you do not question or challenge in writing to us within 60 days of the billing date, that they are irrevocably accepted as presented in the applicable documentation.
It is your responsibility to fulfill the passport, visa and other immigration requirements applicable to your travel. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies or consulates. We are not responsible if you are unable to travel because of noncompliance with any such requirements, but we will assist you in determining such requirements where possible.
