Summary in Plain Speech

By planning travel with me, you accept these terms and conditions. I am not the provider of the travel you purchase. I am acting as your agent and advisor, as well as an agent of the suppliers who provide the actual travel products/services. My goal is to maximize the value of your travel experience and help you navigate the process.

In particular, please be aware of these key points:

  • Third-Party Suppliers: By booking travel through Seas'n Sun, you authorize me to act on your behalf (as your "agent") to book and manage that travel. Your payments will be made directly to the travel providers (“suppliers”) with your authorization, and your travel contract is ultimately made with those providers. As your agent, you agree I am not liable for events beyond my control, including natural disasters; acts of terrorism; mistakes or omissions of third-party travel suppliers such as airlines, hotels, or cruise lines; and any damages or losses resulting from your own actions or omissions.

  • Quotes may expire: Travel pricing and availability can change up until your trip is booked and your deposit is paid. All quotes are subject to change based on the Supplier’s pricing and availability. After booking, pricing is locked in; however, a price increase may still apply if there are changes in taxes, fees, or other requirements of the travel contract.

  • Non-refundable: Unless stated otherwise, travel deposits are non-refundable. Final payments may have limited refund options and/or be subject to cancellation fees set by the travel provider, which is typically based on the number of days until travel. Please read the fine print! Ask if you are unsure of the terms of your trip. Travel protection is available for purchase to cover most trips and may reimburse some or all of your non-refundable costs through cash or future travel credit in the event of a cancellation.

  • Legal Identity: Your legal name on all travel documents must match your legal name on your passport or other identification. Double-check all names and dates of birth on your quotes, itineraries, tickets, and other travel documents as soon as you receive them. You are responsible for any risks and/or costs that arise from failing to review this information in a timely manner.

  • Travel documents: You are ultimately responsible for your travel documents. For most trips outside of the US, you will need a passport book that expires more than six months AFTER you return. For most domestic trips, you need to have a gold star showing on your driver's license ("Real ID"). Document renewals can take many weeks to process, so double-check the expiration dates on your documents early in the planning process. The most common Caribbean cruise destinations do not require a Visa for American citizens, but regulations may vary for foreign citizens, permanent legal residents, and other traveler statuses. Visa requirements may vary based on destination country. I will make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information on requirements for your trip, based on the information you provide me.

  • Regulations: As a client, you are responsible for complying with all relevant regulations and requirements for travel within and outside of the country. You will receive travel documents from each provider, including the terms and conditions of your contract with that provider. Export restrictions exist for most countries, including fruits and vegetables, animals (including service animals), and most forms of plant and sea life. Travel providers such as airlines and cruise lines may publish information on additional restricted items. A criminal record, including a DUI, may impact your ability to visit certain countries, including Canada.

  • Health & Safety: Be aware of any health or safety risks associated with your destination and your mode of travel, and take appropriate precautions. Travel protection is available for purchase on most trips and may include medical coverage while traveling and/or medical evacuation coverage.

  • Litigation: If for any reason you are unhappy with the service I provide, you agree to provide written notice of your dispute to me and allow me 30 days to attempt to make it right before pursuing legal action. If you do pursue legal action against me for any reason, you agree that my total liability will be limited to the amount I was paid in relation to that booking or service, including any fees and any commissions paid to me.

This summary is intended to convey everything you need to know about working with me as your travel advisor. Please read on for the full legal terms, as they do take precedence over this summary in case of any conflict.

1. Role of the Travel Agency

Seas’n Sun acts as your agent in booking approved travel services with a disclosed Supplier. Agency acts solely in the capacity of agent, according to the information supplied by Client, and is not responsible for errors or omissions of the Client when providing such information.

Seas’n Sun acts as agent for the cruise line, airline, hotel, tour operator, travel insurer, or other travel service supplier (each, a “Supplier” and collectively, “Suppliers”) offered to Client by Agency. Agency acts solely in the capacity of agent and is not the provider of the travel services offered, and as such Agency is not responsible for the acts and/or omissions of Suppliers.

2. Sources of Agency's Compensation

As Supplier’s agent, Agency customarily receives compensation, usually in the form of a commission, for bookings made on its behalf. Agency may also receive compensation in the form of travel planning fees, booking fees, or other professional service fees which are payable by Client. All such fees shall be disclosed to Client in advance and, unless stated to the contrary elsewhere in these Terms or in a separate disclosure statement, are non-refundable once paid.

3. Price Quotes

Prices for travel services are set by the Supplier or other provider of the services in question, are subject to availability, and are subject to change without notice. Price quotes communicated to Client by Agency are not considered firm or guaranteed until either a deposit or full payment is received from Client. Airline ticket quotes generally exclude the cost of any desired ancillary services such as checked baggage, priority boarding, and seat selection. Quoted hotel room rates may exclude any applicable resort or destination fees. Cruise quotes may exclude gratuities, which may be charged to the Client’s onboard account automatically during the cruise, as well as the cost of any ancillary services such as drink packages, dining at specialty restaurants, wifi connection, and shore excursions.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices are quoted in United States Dollars (USD). Prices quoted in a foreign currency (EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.) are subject to exchange rate fluctuations when paid in USD or a different foreign currency.

4. Deposits and Payments

Suppliers set their own payment schedules. Deposits are required to be paid in full at the time of booking or within a set number of days from the time of booking, according to the Supplier’s schedule. All subsequent payments must be made in full and on time in accordance with the schedule. Failure to make timely full payments may result in cancellation of the itinerary and/or loss of the deposit and any other amounts paid to Supplier.

When requesting to book travel services, Client expressly authorizes Agency to charge the credit card that Client provides to the Agency for Client’s initial trip deposit and for all subsequent installment or final payments due to Suppliers, as well as any agreed-upon professional service fees due to Agency, according to the invoice, statement, or final cost presented to and approved by the Client.

Agency makes all reasonable efforts to ensure accurate pricing information is communicated to Client. However, despite these efforts, errors do occur on occasion. In such cases, the responsible party reserves the right to correct the erroneous pricing. Furthermore, Agency is not responsible to honor any erroneous price or otherwise liable to Client for errors attributable to Supplier mispricing.

5. Supplier Terms and Conditions

Suppliers set their own terms and conditions which, depending on the circumstances, will supplement or supersede these Terms. By entering into a travel transaction, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the Supplier’s conditions of travel, including any cancellation and refund policies (see below). Accordingly, Agency strongly recommends Client carefully review all Supplier terms and conditions in their entirety prior to booking or making a deposit.

Airlines strictly prohibit certain booking practices such as those involving so-called “throw away” tickets or “hidden city” itineraries which can result in Agency’s liability to the airline in the form of a debit memo. A ticket is classified as “throw away” when a round trip ticket is purchased at a lower cost than a one-way fare and the return ticket is unused. A “hidden city” itinerary is one where the traveler books a ticket to a destination beyond where they actually intend to go, again to secure a lower fare. Agency recommends Client review airline policies to avoid requesting the booking of a prohibited ticket. Agency reserves the right to seek reimbursement from Client for bookings made at Client’s direction that violate airline policies and result in liability to the airline.

6. Review of Travel Documents

Client agrees to review all booking confirmations and similar itinerary documents for accuracy within 24 hours of receipt from Agency and immediately report to Agency any errors that require correction. Agency assumes no responsibility, and is not liable for, any change fees or similar fees charged by Suppliers to revise a booking if Client fails to notify Agency of the error(s) within the stated timeframe.

7. Changes, Cancellations, and Refunds

The Supplier’s own terms and conditions will dictate under what circumstances, if any, changes to existing bookings may be made by Client. Where changes are permitted, fees may apply, in addition to any price differential between the travel as originally booked and the revised itinerary. Refunds, if any, in connection with a cancelled booking will be made in accordance with the Supplier’s own policy, over which Agent has no control or responsibility. In some cases, cancellation by Client may result in forfeiture of the entire deposit or the full price paid for the travel.

8. Supplier Schedule Changes

Suppliers generally have broad discretion to revise or cancel travel itineraries for convenience or as may be reasonably necessary. For example, an airline may significantly delay a departure time, or cancel outright a scheduled flight, or a cruise line may alter or remove scheduled ports from the itinerary. Entitlement to a refund or other compensation, if any, in such cases shall be determined in accordance with the Supplier’s own terms and conditions and any applicable governing law. Under no circumstances shall Agency be liable to Client for any monetary or non-monetary damages incurred in connection with any scheduled change or cancellation imposed by a Supplier.

9. Required Travel Documentation

Government issued photo identification is required for all travelers. Beginning on May 7, 2025, state-issued identification must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. It is Client’s responsibility to ensure their identification meets this requirement. Travelers unsure as to whether their identification is REAL ID compliant should check with the issuing state’s department of motor vehicles or visit www.tsa.gov/real-id.

Valid passports are required for all international travel, with the exception of certain closed-loop cruises that depart and return to the same US city. Some countries will not admit visitors if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of departure. Some countries additionally require a visa as a condition of entry. When traveling without a passport on a closed-loop cruise, a government-issued birth certificate is typically required, issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where the traveler was born and featuring a raised seal. Client is solely responsible for verifying that all documentation and other requirements of travel and/or entry are satisfied and releases Agency from all liability for any damages arising out of noncompliance with these requirements.

10. Criminal Offenses

A criminal record can limit the ability to travel internationally, particularly with respect to DUI charges and felony convictions. While some countries may deny entry outright to travelers with a criminal background, others may require additional documentation, such as a travel waiver or visa, which may be difficult or time-consuming to obtain. Traveling on a cruise ship that docks in a particular country requires authorization to enter that country, even if the passenger does not plan to disembark the ship. Because Agency will not inquire into the criminal offense history of its clients, travelers who may be impacted by an entry restriction on this basis should consult with the U.S. State Department (travel.state.gov) or other reliable source of information for the current entry, exit, and visa requirements of the destination in question.

11. Immunizations

Agency urges Client to remain informed about country-specific requirements as entry to certain destinations may involve obtaining immunizations. Client is solely responsible for ensuring they and all accompanying travelers have the proper immunizations and required documentation of such immunizations before travel. Agency is not liable for any denial of entry attributable to the failure to obtain necessary immunizations or produce the required supporting documentation. COVID-19 vaccinations may also be required depending on the destination.

12. Hazardous Materials

U.S. federal law prohibits passengers from carrying hazardous materials aboard an aircraft in the passenger’s luggage or on the passenger’s person. Violations can result in up to five years in prison and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. § 5124). A complete listing of prohibited items can be accessed at www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items.

To protect public health, agriculture, and the environment, a number of countries require airlines to treat their aircraft, including the passenger cabin, with aerosol insecticides, either with or without passengers onboard. A current listing of the countries with this disinsection requirement is maintained by the Department of Transportation, accessible at www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray.

13. Risks of Travel

Client acknowledges that travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others and assumes all risks associated with travel booked by Agency. Because each traveler’s risk tolerance is different, Agency is unable to advise whether travel to any specific location at any specific time is advisable. As such, Client should not rely on any representations in that regard. To assist Client in making an informed decisions, Agency urges Client to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by United States government agencies both prior to booking travel and prior to departure. Information on health and safety conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.gov and www.cdc.gov. The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. STEP allows citizens to enter information about an upcoming trip abroad to enable the State Department to better assist in the event of an emergency. Visit step.state.gov/step for enrollment information.

14. Travel Insurance

Agency strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance. Depending on the policy purchased, travel insurance may provide coverage or reimbursement associated with trip cancellation or interruption attributable to illness, accident, or weather conditions, baggage loss and/or delay, medical care and/or evacuation should Client become ill or injured while traveling, and provide other assistance in the event of an emergency. If Client chooses to purchase travel insurance, the terms of the policy will determine whether, and to what extent, coverage for any particular situation or loss may exist. Questions concerning the coverage under the policy should be directed to the issuing carrier and no representation made by Agency shall create a binding guarantee or promise as to the policy or the scope of coverage thereunder. Client holds Agency harmless for Client’s election not to purchase travel insurance or for any denial or a claim made under a policy purchased.

15. Disclaimer of Liability

Agency is not liable for any refund, personal injury or death, accident, property damage, delay, cancellation, irregularity, inconvenience, or any other loss which may result from or be caused by any conditions, acts, or omissions beyond the Agency’s reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to (1) any defaults, wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of Suppliers or other third parties; (2) any defect or failure of any vehicle, craft, equipment, or instrumentality owned, operated, or otherwise provided by Suppliers or other third parties; or (3) any wrongful or negligent acts or omissions on the part of the Client or any other party not under Agency’s control. Client hereby releases Agency from all claims, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise arising out of any condition, act, or omission contemplated in this paragraph.

16. Force Majeure

If events beyond the reasonable control of Agency or Client occur, including but not limited to acts of God, severe weather, war, governmental acts, public health emergencies, epidemic or pandemic, strikes, civil unrest, terrorist attacks, or the curtailment of transportation affecting any city where travel is contemplated, which renders it impractical, illegal, or impossible for either Agency or Client to perform or enjoy the benefits of these Terms, these Terms may be terminated upon written notice to the non-terminating party. In such event, neither Agency nor Client shall have any further liability to the other, provided that Agency shall promptly refund to Client any amounts prepaid to Agency and in Agency’s possession but unearned hereunder.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Agency shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the travel services provided, including but not limited to delays, cancellations, lost baggage, personal injury, property damage, or expenses incurred due to acts of third-party service providers (such as airlines, cruise lines, hotels, or ground transportation companies). The  Agency acts solely as an intermediary and is not responsible for the acts, errors, omissions, or negligence of such providers.

In any event, Agency’s total liability under these Terms shall be limited to the total amount of fees and/or commissions paid by the Client and/or third-party Suppliers to the Agency for the specific booking or service giving rise to the claim.

18. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Texas, the courts of which shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all controversies arising out of, or relating to, these Terms.

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each a “Dispute” and collectively “Disputes”) brought by either you or us, Agency and Client both agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from Client to Agency or from Agency to Client.
