Yes, you are. These interline agencies who charge the fee, charge it on every booking whether it is a cruise, resort or tour. Up to $100 or more per booking as their typical booking fee is $50 per person. So, for a family of 4 in a cabin or resort room, you are forking over $200 in booking fees that you don’t need to pay!
Technically if the ship is sailing roundtrip from a port in the USA and returning to the same port, no as a US citizen, you do not need a passport. HOWEVER, it is highly recommended you have one. The reason is if you get to a foreign destination and something happens, you need to fly home due to an emergency, you miss your ship, etc, then you are now faced with trying to get home without a passport. While not impossible, it is a MAJOR headache to deal with. Passports are good for 10 years. You are in the airline business, Get a passport!
If both biological parents are not going, then you need a notarized letter from the other parent giving you permission to take the child out of the country. See your family attorney on this matter and the wording that letter needs to be given.
Yes, we can. We can be your one stop for everyone. We will insure everyone will get the best rate they qualify for whether it is interline rates for your parents, military discount for your uncle who just got out of the military, past passenger rates for those who have sailed before, resident discounts for folks living in particular states and so forth. Then we will work to get everyone dining together, cabins close to each other (or far apart in some cases) and you don’t have to do a thing but let me know how you want it planned.
No, you can book online most of our cruises and resorts plus many of our hotels, shore excursions, travel insurance and some other vendors. Most of the tours do require you call our office. You can also call to book any of the cruises or resorts and either way you pay NO BOOKING FEES! Our phone number is (561) 573-8252. We always love hearing from our travelers.
We need your full legal name, dates of birth of everyone traveling. We will also need to know what airline you are with, your phone and email address, your billing address on your credit card and of course your credit card information. Then within 48 hours we need a copy of your airline ID. Then tell us what dining you would like, if you have cruised with that cruise line before and of course the cabin type and location you want.
When you book with InterlineTravel.com we follow the cancellation fees and policies of the vendor. So, if their rules are that when you cancel more than 90 days in advance you get a full refund, then if you cancel 90 days in advance you will get a full refund. The cancellation policies vary by vendor, length of the trip and even by the time of year you will be traveling. Our agents can go over all of that with you at the time of booking. The best thing to do is take our travel insurance which will cover you should you need to cancel due to a medical reason for yourself or a family member. In some cases, travel insurance will allow you to cancel for any reason, including a bad hair day! Ask our agents about travel insurance.
One thing that makes us very different from some of the interline agencies, especially the ones who charge you a booking fee, is that we do give you an immediate refund when you cancel. Some of the other interline agencies that charge booking fees actually only issue you a credit which you must use within a year and is subject to another booking fee when you go to use it. At Viara Journeys we don’t play games with your money. It’s your money and when you cancel, a refund is issued back to the same form of payment as it was made. The refund amount depends on the vendor and when you cancel.
It depends. If the rate drops before final payment due date then typically we can reprice you’re booking at the new lower rate. Now if it is within the final payment date the cruise line will normally not protect your booking at the new lower rate so you would have to cancel, pay the cancel penalty and rebook. If the price drop is big enough it might be worth doing but normally it is not. What we do try to do in those cases where it is within the cancellation period, and the price has dropped, is to get the cruise lines to get you an upgrade or maybe some shipboard credit to make up some if not all of the difference. Sometimes we are successful doing that and sometimes not. But we do try for you!
