Limitations of Responsibility

Online Vacation Center sells vacation travel provided by third parties that Online Vacation Center does not control. Online Vacation Center is not liable or responsible in any respect for breach of contract, any action or inaction, commission or omission whether intentional, negligent or otherwise, on the part of such third party suppliers resulting in any loss, damage, delay or injury to you or your travel companions. Vacation itineraries, including changes after the sale which may include missed ports of call, are the sole responsibility of the supplier. Furthermore, Online Vacation Center assumes no responsibility for overbooking, cancellation or delays by hotels, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators or ground transportation or other providers of service. In the event that a travel supplier declares bankruptcy, Online Vacation Center will not be held responsible. The travel vendor may or may not be required to refund paid fares. Online Vacation Center cannot be held financially responsible for any vendor that declares bankruptcy. You agree that Online Vacation Center is not responsible for any potential risks and hazards associated with travel. Assessed government or quasi-government fees and taxes are subject to change without notice at any time, and suppliers reserve the right to add a surcharge for these fees and taxes even if you have a confirmed booking under deposit or have made final payment. All surcharges will be automatically charged to your credit card or in the event of payment by check, you will be asked to immediately remit additional funds.

Prior to Travel

It is the passenger’s responsibility to verify visa entry and health requirements of the countries they intend to visit. US citizens may visit the U.S. Department of State (www.travel.state.gov) for the most up to date requirements for US Citizens traveling abroad. Non-US citizens must check with their individual embassy regarding visa and immunization requirements. Most cruise lines require a Guest Registration Form to be completed prior to departure. Please refer to the pre-cruise email or cruise line’s website for registration requirements. Air arrangements purchased through the cruise line are generally made available 30 days prior to departure. Please note that air schedules are booked at the discretion of the cruise line and cannot be changed. Custom air requests must be arranged prior to final payment. The minimum charge for custom air itineraries is $50-$75 per person and additional charges may apply. It is the traveler's responsibility to confirm seat assignments and other special services, such as special meals or wheelchair assistance directly with the airline. Passengers traveling together, but booked or deposited at different times, may be required to travel on different flights.
