Except to the extent the parties' procedural or substantive rights are governed by the FAA and the federal common law relating to arbitration, this Dispute Resolution Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its choice of law and conflict of law rules.

For the most up-to-date information regarding passport requirements and trusted traveler programs (such as the new U.S. Passport Card, NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST) please refer to the following web-site: http://travel.state.gov/. Foreign nationals should at all times contact their government agency for further details. All Travelers are required to pre-register online with their Cruise Line prior to Travel Documents being issued.
Passenger Names
Upon receipt of confirmation, it is important for Traveler(s) to review the spelling of each name to ensure it exactly matches each Traveler's passport, including middle name. If a name is incorrect or misspelled, Traveler is required to contact Us immediately. Penalties may apply to name changes and corrections after booking. Penalties and/or service charges incurred by Vendors and Arrivia for correcting misspelled or inaccurate names are the Traveler's sole responsibility. Traveler must complete his/her pre-cruise travel registration forms on each cruise line's web-site immediately upon final payment. Note: Newlyweds must provide each name as they will appear on their valid government issued I.D. at the time of travel.
Name Changes & Substitutions
Many Cruise Lines will allow name changes on a stateroom provided at least one of the original passenger names in the stateroom remains the same. These changes may be made without penalty if made prior to the Cruise Line's Final Payment Due Date. Any name changes or corrections after the Final Payment Due Date is subject to name change fees by your cruise line, airline, Arrivia and/or other Travel Providers. Unfortunately, Cruise Lines will not allow a total name change of all guests in a cabin. Should you opt to change the names of all passengers in a stateroom; Cruise Lines will consider this a full cancellation and applicable cancellation penalties will apply. We recommend Travel Insurance to protect your vacation investment.
Minimum Age Requirement
Most cruise lines require that Travelers under the age of 21 years be accompanied by a parent, relative, or guardian 25 years or older booked in the same cabin. Exceptions may be made for honeymooners who can present a marriage certificate; otherwise guests under the age of 21 will be denied boarding without a refund. We are not liable for Traveler's failure to provide correct information.
Booking a Guaranteed Stateroom: In exchange for a low cruise rate, most Cruise Lines allow Travelers to book a Guaranteed (GUAR/GTY) stateroom/category. When booking this type of promotional fare, Traveler's stateroom is assigned/selected by the Cruise Line within 1-week of departure, subject to availability. Guaranteed Balcony and Oceanview staterooms may have obstructed views. We have no control over the cabin assignment. Once Traveler's cabin has been assigned, no changes are allowed. Travelers and their companions traveling together in separate cabins may be assigned on different decks. Travelers with specific cabin needs/requirements should not book this type of cruise fare. To request a specific cabin(s) contact Us immediately. Additional fees apply for specific cabin assignments.
Air - Schedules and Deviations
Air schedules are booked at the discretion of Vendor, whether it is Us, the Cruise Line, or an alternate third party agency, and may not be released to Traveler until 21-days prior to travel. Vendor will make every effort to provide a convenient flight schedule with minimal stops. Once flights are assigned, changes cannot be made without incurring significant penalties. Third-party Vendor air program fees, policies, and procedures are separate from the fees, policies, and procedures of Arrivia. Frequent flyer mileage programs, airline seat selection and special requests are the sole responsibility of Traveler in accordance with airline policies. We make no guarantee nor assume any responsibility for airline selection, seat assignments, flight schedules and routing, or delays/cancellations. If you have a specific flight preference, deviation requests are accepted for a minimum non-refundable fee of $50 per person plus any airfare differential; due and payable at time of confirmation. Additional fees/charges are non-refundable and are the sole responsibility of the Traveler. Air Deviations may not be requested within 60-days of departure.
