DEPOSIT AND FINAL PAYMENT REQUIREMENT

 

A deposit is required at time of cruise bookings.  Cancellation Protection Plan, if desired, must be purchased prior to the date on which cancellation fees begin to accrue.  The per person cruise deposit requirement to secure reservations is $626 Canadian (Payment by American Express, Visa, Master Card or Discover Card is also accepted)

 

Final payment is due no later than Dec. 4 , 2011.  In most cases, we are able to provide you with travel documents, including your cruise contract, approximately 30 days prior to departure.  Travel documents, however, are issued only after final payment has been received by Holland America Line.

 

HOLLAND AMERICA LINE CANCELLATION POLICY

 

 A full refund (except for amounts paid for CPP and administrative fee) will be made for written cancellations received by Holland America Line at least 76 days prior to the date on which you are to commence travel by air, rail, sea or otherwise.  Cancellation fees for passengers who cancel after that date for any reason, including medical or family reasons, are subject to the following per person cancellation fees:

 

75 – 57 days before commencing travel:  an amount equal to deposit requirement

56 – 29 days before commencing travel:  50% of gross fare

28 – 16 days before commencing travel:  75% of gross fare

15 days or less before commencing travel:  100% of gross fare

 

Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, these fees are due regardless of resale.  Fees incurred as a result of cancellation cannot be applied to future bookings.  Refunds will normally be made to your travel agent.  Travel agents may impose their own cancellation fees.

 

Name changes require the prior approval of Holland America Line and may not always be possible.  Cruise contracts are nontransferable.  Name changes and departure date changes are considered reservation cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.

 

OCEANS AWAY CRUISES AND TOURS BY ROSE & JOHN CANCELLATION POLICY

 

An administration fee of $125 Canadian per person will be charged for any cancellations after payment has been made.

 

RESPONSIBILITY

 

Oceans Away Cruises & Tours acts only as agent for Holland America Line, Inc. and as such agent will not be held responsible for any acts of negligence by Holland America Line Inc. or its suppliers.

The MS MAASDAM is owned by HAL Nederland N.V. and chartered to Holland America Line N.V. which is affiliated with Holland America Line Inc.  Transportation aboard the ship is provided solely by the Shipowners and Charterers and pursuant to the Cruise Contract that you will receive prior to embarkation.  A copy of the form of cruise contract will be provided upon request or can be viewed on Holland America’s  website: www.hollandamerica.com.  Please note that the contract includes a clause specifying certain courts in the State of Washington as the exclusive forum for resolving disputes.

 

Non-Holland America Services (such as airlines and ground carriers, shore excursions, restaurants, air ambulance, hotels and shore side physicians) are generally performed by independent contractors.  The Non-Holland America Services are solely at your risk and subject to the terms or arrangements made by you or on your behalf with the independent contractor.  We assume no responsibility with respect to these Non-Holland America Services (including cancellation, delay, injury, death or damage to property) even though we may collect monies or make bookings.

 

Situations may arise which, in our opinion, make it necessary for us to cancel, advance or postpone a scheduled departure, change itineraries or make substitutions involving hotels, restaurants, ports of call, other travel components, vessels or other modes of transportation.  In the event, we do not assume responsibility or liability for any resulting losses, expenses or inconvenience.  Your full cruise fare will be refunded,  if the cruise is cancelled prior to initial embarkation. We are not required to make refunds once travel commences regardless of the reason for guests being unable to complete their travel.

 

PASSPORT DATA

 

All guests must carry their valid passports.   We strongly recommend carrying a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond completion date of your travel.   Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise.  It is the guest’s sole responsibility to bring and have available at all times all required travel documents.  Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued.  Canadian citizens must present proof of citizenship in the form of a passport
