(examples: name changes on a reservation, cabin changes, hotel changes, airfare changes, etc.) If airfare has already been ticketed when a change request is made, I understand that I may also incur a fee from the cruise line or airline as well based on their fee schedules at the time of the change. *

You will incur this fee if you decide you want to add additional aspects to your cruise (examples: pre or post hotels, land tours, rentals, air, etc.) that will require additional research, time and planning that was not included or discussed during the initial planning phase prior to your reservation being made and 1st deposit paid *

I understand and agree with these terms

CONCIERGE FEE: $75 per person if you prefer for Anderson Travel and Tours to handle services for you that are beyond trip consultation, planning and booking. [ I understand that: Anderson Travel and Tours is acting solely as an agent for the actual supplier of travel (cruise line) and that actions/services provided beyond trip consultation, planning and booking are considered concierge level travel services and are not requirements of the travel agency (Anderson Travel and Tours).] The supplier (cruise line) requires me (the client) to manage certain aspects of my trip such as, but not limited to: managing an online account on the supplier’s website and downloading the supplier’s app, receiving and reviewing emails from the supplier and agency, opening PDF documents, selecting/purchasing excursions and and/or additional services online, completing mandatory country-specific forms and/or other forms (such as accompanying minor forms, etc.) and/or any other required documents, completing online check-in (which may include uploading photos), printing e-docs and luggage tags, completing airline online check-in and downloading/saving or printing boarding passes, etc. (when air is part of a trip). *

I understand and agree to these terms.

PRINTING / MAILING FEES: I understand that if I require Anderson Travel and Tours to print and mail documents to me vs. downloading them from a file, I will also be charged the additional cost of printing and postage. *

I understand and agree to these terms.

IDENTIFICATION – PASSPORTS

I understand that I (the client) am responsible for verifying that I have proper identification and that the names listed on my documents match my identification that will be used for the trip (Passort, Real ID, birth certificate, etc.) and on any other required documents or forms (vaccination cards, accompanying minor forms, country-specific forms, etc.). My first, middle and last name that is on my identification must exactly match the name on my cruise travel documents and my airline boarding pass or I could be denied boarding by the Suppliers (cruise line, airline). Anderson Travel and Tours nor the Suppliers (cruise line, airline) will be responsible if I am denied boarding due to my name not matching my travel documents. If any name change is required after final payment, there will be a fee which is set by the Suppliers (cruise line, airline). *

I understand and agree to these terms.

I understand that: if I am a U.S. citizen and my cruise embarks or disembarks in a foreign country, including Canada, I will always need a passport. I will also need a passport for a cruise that begins and ends in different U.S. ports. If an emergency arises (such as a medical evacuation or ship docking at an alternate port) only an official passport will be accepted to fly home from a foreign port. Without a passport, I would need to consult the U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad to request a temporary passport and would be responsible for all fees and expenses for lodging, transportation, food, etc. that I may incur as a result. Although a passport is not required by cruise lines on certain closed-loop cruises originating and ending at certain U.S. ports, it is still highly suggested that I travel with a passport in case of emergencies. If I choose to travel without a passport and instead use a government issued ID (driver’s license) and certified birth certificate, that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require a driver’s license to be a REAL ID (called STAR ID in Alabama) by May 7, 2025. A driver's license and birth certificate cannot replace an official passport which is required to fly home from a foreign port. With only a driver’s license and birth certificate, I will be required to consult a U.S. Embassy or consulate in an emergency situation and that this applies to children as well as adults. *

I agree to these terms and conditions.

TRAVEL INSURANCE and COVID-19 TERMS:

• I understand that travel insurance is available to purchase and that Anderson Travel and Tours can discuss travel insurance options with me. Travel insurance must be purchased at the time of booking to receive a refund after final payment. Not all travel insurance covers pre-existing conditions – (please discuss options with Anderson Travel and Tours if you need a pre-existing medical condition covered). Pre-existing conditions and injuries require written approval from a doctor stating clearance to travel “prior” to booking or buying travel insurance. Some travel insurance plans must be purchased within 14 days of the 1st deposit date for them to cover pre-existing conditions. *

I understand and agree with these terms.

I understand that if I refuse to purchase travel insurance that I could lose the full cost of my trip or be responsible for the full cost of emergency situations due to (but not limited to) the following reasons: if I or a travel companion must cancel after final payment due to an emergency or sickness, if my health insurance is not accepted or doesn’t apply in certain U.S. states or a foreign country (Foreign medical facilities and providers require cash payment up front and do not accept U.S. insurance plans / Medicare does not provide coverage outside of the United States). If I must be flown to a hospital or evacuated from a danger zone, if a close relative passes away prior to departure, if an issue with weather or an airline causes me to miss the cruise departure, and/or other reasons. Without travel insurance, I will not be compensated for the cost of lost luggage, delays or trip interruptions. Anderson Travel and Tours nor the cruise line or any 3rd party will be responsible for losses or expenses incurred without travel insurance. *

I understand and agree to these terms.

COVID-19 TERMS and OTHER EXPOSURES:

I understand that traveling may expose me to COVID-19, other viruses, allergens, contagions, bacteria, environmental hazards and the potential for injuries. By booking, I agree to travel at my own risk and agree that Anderson Travel and Tours nor the Supplier (cruise line) or any 3rd party is responsible for any sickness or injury I may acquire during the trip. Anderson Travel and Tours must follow all COVID-19 updates, restrictions or mandates issued by the U.S. government and the Supplier (cruise line) at the time of travel and will not be able to make exceptions to any rules.
