TRAVEL INSURANCE

CruiseVacationPort.com wants our valued clients to have the most worry-free cruise vacation possible.

That's why CruiseVacationPort.com offers the option to purchase TRAVEL INSURANCE PROTECTION for every passenger sailing.

When making the initial booking, you have the option of paying for the insurance premium to insure your cruise vacation investment.

Take advantage of the cruise travel insurance program and get ready for a great vacation - worry-free!

PRICE GUARANTEE

Most cruise lines no longer permit discounting of their established rates. Every cruise seller is contractually obligated to sell at the cruise line's current price.

We offer complimentary* travel insurance against any cruise line price that you are entitled to; based on your age, state of residence, and past history with the cruise line (some restrictions may apply). There may be other special promotional rates, as well. The cruise lines do not charge booking fees - neither does CruiseVacationPort.com. Many of our competitors do charge various booking fees.

If a competitor has a lower price than what the cruise line is offering, get it in writing. We will contact the line on your behalf to allow us to match the price and no booking fees.

When comparing prices, make sure to ask about insurance and booking fees in addition to the cruise fare, port charges and taxes.

CANCELLATION POLICY AND PROCEDURE

CruiseVacationPort.com understands that occasionally reservations need to be cancelled for a variety of reasons. We offer travel insurance to all guests to minimize the financial impact when a cancellation is necessary.

We require written authorization from the client to begin the cancellation process. A $50 per person administrative fee is charged. Once the cancellation fee has been processed the reservation can be cancelled with the cruise line. Call our Customer Service Department to request an "Authorization to Cancel" form, which can be sent by e-mail, fax, or first class mail.

If the cancellation occurs before the final payment date, the cruise line refunds the deposit back to the credit card that was used to make the deposit. If the deposit was paid for by check or cash, the cruise line will refund CruiseVacationPort.com and upon receipt of the refund, we send a check to the client. Cruise line credit card refunds take anywhere from two weeks to two months to appear on your credit card statement.

When canceling after making your final payment, in addition to CruiseVacationPort.com's administrative fees, the cruise line will impose their penalties - which increase as you get closer to the sailing date. The cruise line cancellation penalties will be reimbursed by the insurance carrier (along with our fees) if the reason for cancellation is covered by the policy.

Every cruise line has their unique cancellation policy. Visit the cruise line's website, look in their brochure, or call the cruise line for specifics and details for your reservation.

REFARE POLICY

CruiseVacationPort.com assures our clients that they will get the lowest price available that they are entitled to, based on when they book and if the cruise line adjusts the price in a way that the original price can be lowered.

In general, should the cruise line lower your price after booking and before the final payment is due at CruiseVacationPort.com, your fare can be adjusted subject to cruiseline policy. There are certain reduced rate promotions offered by cruise lines that are only applicable to new reservations. When you see a lower price, ask our Customer Service Department to check if your reservation can be adjusted.

While we are delighted to secure lower rates for our valued clients, we ask for their understanding that when prices go down, so does our commission. The extra work to get the cruise line to adjust the price, update our database, send out new invoices and adjust insurance policies, if necessary, is costly. There will be a 20% (of the refare value, up to $50pp) administrative fee imposed to cover these additional administrative costs, whenever the reservation is re-fared at the client's request.


All Rates are Per Person, Double Occupancy Subject to Change, Availability and fuel surcharge policies & do not Include Govt. Taxes and Fees Unless Noted. Travel Insurance may vary by state. Value added promotions are subject to availability and can be withdrawn at any time without notice. Cruisevacationport.com is a division of Binu Jacob Enterprises LLC.
