Cancellation Fees:
-Rooms can be cancelled up until 4 days prior to the arrival date for a $50 per person penalty charged by the supplier + $50 per person cancellation fee from Vacay Vibes. If cancelling the entire room within 3 days of the travel date, there will be a penalty equal to a 2 nights stay of the reservation + the $50/person Vacay Vibes penalty + the $50/person penalty charged by the supplier.
If cancelling within 2 days of the travel date, there is a penalty of $75 per person charged by the supplier + the $50 per person Vacay Vibes cancellation fee.
The cancelation of airfare will result in a future travel credit to be used through Vacation Express.
-If an individual is cancelling themselves out of a room, there will be a $50 penalty for that person. The room will then have to be changed to the accurate amount of people remaining in the room and will have to be ‘re-shopped’ at current rates, which can increase the price for those people in the room.
Payment Schedule:
$799/person Deposit - Due ASAP
Final Payment: May 27th, 2024
Reduced Deposit Option*: When selecting the Reduced Deposit Plan (RDP), at a cost of $25 per person, your initial deposit is lowered to $300 per person. Insurance, if applicable, may be added to the deposit amount as well. The $300 RDP total deposit amount and any subsequent deposits that are applied to the total cost of your airline ticket are non-refundable at all times. You may purchase insurance to protect your vacation investment, however your $25 RDP fee is always non-refundable. Important: Until you have paid in full for your airline ticket, your ticket won’t have any value, no changes can be made and no refunds apply under any circumstances. RDP may not be valid with certain higher priced tickets. Please note on your RSVP form if you are interested in adding the RDP plan.
prices are subject to change until all deposits from roommates are made. If adding insurance, the cost will be due at time of making your deposit.
*You are welcome to make payments at any time between the deposit date and the final payment date.
*a separate $25 USD per person “planning fee” will be charged at the time of making your deposit payment.
*Keep in mind that if you cancel yourself from the trip after it has been booked, it can still potentially effect the other people in the reservation, even if you have travel insurance. When the number of people in a reservation is changed, the process is to cancel the existing reservation and rebook a new one at current pricing with the proper amount of guests. This could result in an increase in price.
If you would like to protect your deposit, I would highly suggest adding travel insurance. Penalty fees may apply if you cancel or change. Please click this link to fully understand the terms and conditions.
