PRICES
All prices displayed on our Website are subject to change at any time without prior notice. Prices and Fees are only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the ticket has been issued. Suppliers may change their prices without notice.
 

Pricing is displayed in US and/or Canadian currency.

All prices displayed on our website are only valid at the time of booking. Prices are subject to change and cannot be retroactively applied to existing bookings. We will honor the lowest available price from the cruise line if it drops below your booking price before the final payment date.

BANK FEES
Some banks and credit card companies charge a fee for international transactions. They will appear on your credit or bank card statement as a foreign or international transaction fee. For example, if you make a travel reservation through our Website from outside the United States using a U.S. credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and may charge you a fee for the conversion. The amount of the charge appearing on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and different than the purchase amount shown on the billing summary page for the reservation.

In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the bank that issued your credit card is located outside the United States.

Booking international travel through our Website may be considered an international transaction by the bank or credit card company since Cruisehub may pass your payment on to an international travel supplier.

Your bank or credit card company determines the currency exchange rate and the amount of the foreign transaction fee on the day it processes the transaction. Please contact your bank or credit card company should you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your transaction.

SPECIALS
From time to time we offer “specials” on our Website. This section applies to all specials we offer on this Website. As well, all the terms and conditions spelled out above apply to specials we offer on this Website.

Specials are only available for a limited time. Please contact us if necessary to determine whether a special shown on our Website is still available.

Specific terms and conditions may apply to any special shown on our Website. Please contact either us or the Supplier of the special to determine what terms and conditions apply to that special, if any, and how they may affect you.

RESERVATION AND CONFIRMATION
Once your purchase is complete, you should receive an email titled “Booking Notification.”

Once your ticket has been issued, you should receive your electronic ticket by email.

Should you not receive email communications from Cruisehub within the 24 hours following your online Reservation, please contact Cruisehub to verify to email address on file.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements of the country you plan to visit. You are responsible for ensuring that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise) are in order, and that any other foreign entry requirements are met for the country you plan to visit.
 

Cruisehub has no special knowledge regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.

You must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for passport and visa information. Requirements may change and you should check for up-to-date information before making a Reservation and before departure. We accept no liability if you are refused entry onto a ship, a seaport, or into any country due to your failure to carry the correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any cruise provider, authority, or country, including countries you may just be transiting through.

Cruisehub does not represent or warrant that travel to any offered destination is advisable or without risk. Cruisehub is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to any offered destination.

BAGGAGE POLICY
Each Cruise Line has its own policies regarding baggage allowances, fees and restrictions. These policies differ from line to line and can change at any time. We try our best to display current baggage fee information on this Website, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Ultimately, you are responsible for verifying your Cruise Line’s baggage policies and fees before your departure.

REVISIONS AND CANCELLATIONS
In the event you need to change or cancel your Reservation, or any information provided as part of the Reservation, please contact Cruisehub as soon as possible. Revisions, cancellations, and refund polices vary by Cruise Lines, and other suppliers (if applicable).

In all instances, no-shows are nonrefundable.

• REVISIONS
  Any changes made to your Reservation after the initial booking date will result in Cruise Line fees, if applicable. Please note that the Cruise Lines do not allow any rate reductions once penalties commence or once your cruise is paid in full.

• CANCELLATIONS
  Cancellation of your Reservation could result in a loss of deposit, full payment and/or administrative fees. Please see the Cruise Line’s specific terms and conditions for exact penalties.

MINORS
Minors under the age of 21 (or 18 years of age for selected Cruise Lines) must be accompanied by an adult or a legal guardian of at least 25 years of age and must stay in the same or connecting stateroom. As well, minors not traveling with a parent may be required to present an affidavit signed by the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel. Most Cruise Lines require that infants be at least 6 months of age at time of sailing to be eligible to travel. However, the minimum age for infants may vary according to the Cruise Line.

SCHEDULE CHANGE
Changes to Cruises, including cruise cancellations, can occur for any number of reasons, including bad weather, mechanical problems, crew issues and civil unrest. When this happens, we do our best to notify our customers of any changes to their Reservation, by phone and/or email. However, sometimes the Cruise Line does not provide advance notice of the change or cancellation. For this reason, we recommend that you verify with your Cruise Line your Reservation status 24 hours before your scheduled departure.

If your Cruise has been cancelled, please call us at 1-855-951-1377. We will work directly with the Cruise Line on your behalf to find out what options are available and figure out a solution for you. If you chose not to opt for the options Cruisehub can offer you, and if you wish to book a new Reservation instead, then Cruisehub cannot be held responsible for any and all additional cost incurred.

However, if you don’t find out about the cancellation until you’re already at the point of departure, we recommend you work directly with the Cruise Line staff to figure out a solution. Please note that in some cases, especially during bad weather, your options may be limited.
