General
Information
- This
sailing is NOT strictly an "ALL Gay cruise" - We are
holding a block of cabins for our exclusive use and
events, but the Carnival sailing will have their own
guests as well.
- Proper
deposits are required in-house at the time of reservation
in order to confirm your reservation. If you are sending
in your deposit by money order, your reservation cannot
be confirmed until we have received the payment. If
your payment by debit, or credit card, is declined,
we cannot confirm your reservation until we have received
a valid form of payment.
- Prices
include stateroom accommodations, taxes/fees and all
meals. Entertainment, games, activities, welcome aboard
cocktail party, as well as surprise exclusive GayDays
giveaways/events/activities.
- Prices
do NOT include gratuities, alcoholic beverages, soda
or specialty drinks, shore excursions, photos, phone
calls, or anything of a personal nature.
- Staterooms
are limited within each category, and the total reserved
for the cruise, so reservations are taken on a first
come-first served basis. If the category you requested
is not available, you must reserve at the next available
category available at time of reservation. If you
request a category that is not available, we may be
able to get it for you, but the rate may not be the
same as the inventory already allotted to us.
- All
tickets will be sent to the LEAD passenger in each
stateroom within a week of sailing, unless airfare
was purchased. This information will be provided to
the cruise line if required.
- If
a disagreement arrises between you and your cabin
mate after you are on the ship, and you decide that
one of you cannot remain in the cabin, it will be
your responsibility to work out the situation, or
the person who moves out of the cabin will be responsible
for the cost of a new stateroom. Gay Days Travel will
not be held responsible for any costs incurred for
any disagreement.
- Passengers
are required to verify all information on the invoice
for accuracy. This information will be provided to
the cruise line if necessary. Gay Days Inc will not
be responsible for any mis-information or errors given
to the cruiseline if the guest has not corrected it
according to the invoice information.
- Gay
Days follows all cruiseline policies - Passengers
are required to verify these before sailing - See
the cruise line brochure, or website for full details.
- Travel
Protection Insurance is available to purchase at an
additional charge to protect your investment –
