Question 1

Should I just book direct with the resort or cruise line?

Accepted Answer

You can book direct but why would you? We can provide you with a wide variety of travel options from a number of different cruise lines and travel suppliers to countless popular destinations. We are able to inform you of special promotions, incentives and deals, so you can get the most out of your vacation dollars.

Question 2

Do I need a passport?

Accepted Answer

For all international destinations a US passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your return travel date is required. Non US citizens need to contact the consulate for the country they are visiting to determine entry requirements. It is the responsibility of the traveler to verify and obtain all necessary documentation needed for your trip. Further, any minors traveling without both legal parents or guardians need to travel with a notarized letter of consent.

Question 4

Do I really need to purchase travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

Although you are not required to purchase travel insurance it is absolutely recommended. In most instances, even if you have health insurance through your employer, or some other source, the coverage does not extend to other countries. If you need medical attention, you will have to pay out-of-pocket and you may not be allowed to leave until you do so. Other coverages can include reimbursement for trip delay or interruption, loss baggage, missed flights, etc. Ask our team members about coverage doing the planning process.
