If I book now and I can not go on the trip later, what happens ?
If you can not go and make such decision by the deadline of June 25th
you receive a full refund. 
After that, the cruise line charges some fees for cancellations.

Why should I book early ?
You should book early in order to be able to get the type of accommodations you desire.
There are only a "limited" number of rooms per category set aside for our event and
they are on a "first come-first served" basis.

WE HAVE 150 CABINS RESERVED AND MUST HAVE ALL BOOKED
by May 20th 
FOR THE "SALSA PORTION" OF THE CRUISE TO BE INCLUDED

Should such not occur, you will be called and given the option of a refund, 
or to continue on the cruise as planned without the Salsa.

What are the deadlines / cancellation fees?
VARIOUS DEADLINES:

    100    %  refund
  $150  cancellation fee   
       50   %  refund

There is a $ 25 cancellation administrative fee.

if cancelled before May 25th
if cancelled between May 26th and June 20th
if cancelled between June 21st and June 30th
if not cancelled by July 20th

If I have paid for the trip and can not go, what happens ?
If it is after all the deadlines, there are penalties and charges charged by the Cruise line.
Also, cruise lines are not liable if the cruises are cancelled for reasons beyond their control.

You are strongly encouraged to buy TRIP INSURANCE....as agent 
DO NOT BUY THRU CRUISE LINE.

It is relatively inexpensive and well worth it.
Tropical storms, Hurricanes, etc. can always happen.
