RESERVATIONS, DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS

Full payment of fees to retain professional services, along with a completed Service Agreement, is required by all private and hosted group leaders and/or bride and groom (for destination weddings). These fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Unless otherwise specified on a hosted group travel event by Destiney's Adventures LLC, anyone (men and women) can join a hosted group travel event by securing their spot with a deposit, if the final payment due date hasn’t passed, and space is available.

Roommates must complete separate registration forms and submit their deposits within 24 hours in order to secure a reservation. Once the registration forms and deposit are received each roommate can make separate payments. All roommates must state who will be sharing rooms on the registration form. It is all the roommates’ responsibility to ensure that their fellow roommates are making their monthly payments in order to avoid having the reservation occupancy rate being adjusted to match the number of travelers occupying the room.

If insurance is purchased, the insurance guidelines will apply based on the supplier. All late payments must be approved by the Destiney's Adventures LLC staff. A Final Payment Deadline Extension Request fee of $25 must be paid for payment extension request, all payments received after the final due date and before the final payment will be submitted.

Please ensure that your current passport will be valid at least six months beyond your travel dates and has two or more blank pages. Please either apply for a new passport or renew your passport if it doesn't meet this criterion. This information is required on all international trips and is only shared when required by local authorities.
There may be some entry and exit restrictions based on each country for visitors. We encourage you to review destination specific travel entry and exit requirements here: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages. These restrictions are set forth by the foreign governments and include DUI's, health concerns & vaccinations, child safety and support, offensive actions, or any felony arrest history. It is every traveler's full responsibility to check and verify entry, exit, passport and visa requirements. To avoid entry or exit issues please visit https://travel.state.gov/
Passports are not required for the U.S. Virgin Island.
A visa may be required for certain international travel and is the traveler’s responsibility to ensure the proper documents are submitted on time and a visa is obtained prior to the traveler’s departure date.
Cruise Travel Documentation Requirements
US Citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port) and travel to destinations in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and Bermuda can re-enter the United States with proof of citizenship other than a passport or passport card. Acceptable proof of citizenship includes an original or certified copy of a government issued birth certificate (raised seal and signature) and a laminated government issued picture ID (typically, driver's license), Consular Report of Born Abroad Certificate, or a Certificate of Naturalization. NOTE: Baptismal records and certificates issued by a hospital are not acceptable.
It is strongly recommended that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This greatly assists guests who may need to fly out of the United States to meet their ship at the next available port should they miss their scheduled embarkation in a U.S. port; guests entering the U.S. at the end of their cruise; and guests needing to fly to the U.S. before their cruise ends, because of medical, family, personal or business emergencies, missing a ship's departure from a port of call, involuntary disembarkation from a ship due to misconduct, or other reasons.
Guests who need to fly to the United States before their cruise ends will likely experience significant delays and complications related to booking airline tickets and entering the United States if they do not have a valid U.S. passport with them.
United States Territories
U.S. Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR's) who travel directly between parts of the United States, which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), without touching at a foreign port or place, are not required to present a valid U.S. Passport or U.S. Green Card.
However, it is recommended that travelers bring a government issued photo ID and copy of birth certificate.
It also is recommended that you carry proof of your LPR status as all times in the event you are asked to prove your status. This may be in the form of a green card or passport.
