Final Payments

2. All prices on the ecruising.travel invoice are in Australian Dollars. Some aspects of your booking may be booked in a foreign currency and therefore will be subject to currency fluctuation adjustments at time of final payment. In this case, your booking will be recosted prior to final payment due date.

Confirmations

1. If your stateroom onboard the cruise line is under a Guarantee Basis (GTY), this means your stateroom number will be allocated at the discretion of the cruise line either close to the date of the sailing or on the day itself. You will be guaranteed a minimum standard of cabin (indicated by the cabin grade booked). We are not able to accept any special requests regarding the position of the cabin, cabin facilities or bed configuration. If you are travelling with others, there is no guarantee that cabins will be located close together or will be of the same grade.
2. Please be aware that whilst we have taken all steps to price this package using the most up-to-date airfares we are only able to determine the actual airfare once flights become available in the system. This is generally 10 months prior to date of travel. As airline timetables, airfares and taxes are subject to change (without notice) we wish to advise you in advance that any variance in cost will be added to your invoice.
3. Your accommodation is on request until deposit is received. Although we have special contracted nightly rates with selected hotels, we are not holding any room allocation unless you are booking one of our specialty cruise tours. If the selected hotel is unavailable we will offer an alternate option of similar grade. Any variance in cost will be added to your invoice.
4. Airlines and cruise lines reserve the right to change flight or cruise schedules which have already been confirmed with or without notice, including but not limited to aircraft and routing changes, flight class downgrades and changes to pre-selected seats. ecruising.travel cannot be held responsible for any involuntary changes outside of our control.
