Section 3.02    You have the option to make your own selections for ADR and FP+ when your booking windows for the respective reservations open.

Article 5.      Travel Suppliers

Section 5.01    RBG is not the source or supplier of the travel services included as elements in your trip. RBG acts solely as an agent for such services' actual suppliers. Travel Suppliers are ultimately responsible for ensuring the booked elements of your trip occur. By booking a trip with RBG, you consent to and request the use of those suppliers and agree not to hold RBG responsible should any of these suppliers:

(a)    fail to provide the travel services I have purchased;

(b)    fail to comply with any applicable law; or

(c)    engage in any negligent act or omission that causes me any sort of injury, damage, delay, or inconvenience.

(d)    make changes due to national emergencies, war, famine, global pandemics, or other unforeseen events.

 

Section 5.02    You must authorize RBG to submit payment to the travel suppliers before the due date. RBG will send reminder emails as the due dates approach, but it is your responsibility to ensure that a payment has been authorized to ensure the travel supplier does not automatically cancel their portion of the trip. Failure to make timely payments may result in financial loss due to non-refundable fares/deposits or penalties imposed by the travel supplier.

 

Section 5.03    Uplift financing is available to qualified applicants. Decisions made for approval or denial are made solely by Uplift and any questions must be directed to Uplift.  

 

Section 5.04    It is ultimately your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in travel proposals, travel plans, and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt and understand that you must contact RBG with any questions or to request changes.

 

Section 5.05    All fares typically involve restrictions (including, but not limited to, restrictions related to cancellation). Changing any aspect of my travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional money or forfeiture of paid money. It is your responsibility to read and understand travel agreements (such as a Contract of Carriage) for each Travel Supplier.

 

Section 5.06    From time-to-time Travel Suppliers may offer incentives to book a return trip on the cruise line or at the resort. Any incentives offered by the Travel Supplier are the sole responsibility of said Travel Supplier and not RBG. You are welcome and encouraged to take advantage of the Travel Suppliers' booking incentives for these return trips. RBG will automatically be notified by the Travel Supplier of your new booking and the new booking is subject to the terms outlined in this Agreement and a new TRP Fee. The new TRP fee is due to RBG within 15 days from when you return home. If you do not pay this fee, the reservation will be released by the agency to your name. At that point, you will solely be responsible for working with the travel supplier directly.

 

Section 5.07    RBG has no special knowledge regarding travel service providers' financial condition selected for your tour, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel. For information concerning possible dangers at destinations, RBG recommends contacting the Travel Warnings Section of the U.S. State Department at 1-888-407-4747 or www.travel.state.gov. For medical information, RBG recommends contacting the Centers for Disease Control at 1-800-232-4636 or www.cdc.gov/travel.

 

Article 6.      Travel Insurance

Section 6.01    Protecting your travel investment is essential. RBG has partnered with Allianz Travel Insurance and will recommend the best travel insurance policy for your specific trip. The choice to include travel insurance rests with your final approval and you will be required to provide your final selection in writing.  

 

Section 6.02    You should purchase travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel, such as supplier bankruptcy, national emergencies, unforeseen inclement weather, the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency, or other covered events.

 

Section 6.03    Failure to purchase a travel insurance policy may result in a financial loss as a result of cancellation fees, diversion fees, medical expenses, or other unspecified expenses that may occur in the event of trip cancellation or trip interruption.

 

Article 7.      RBG Hours of Operation

Section 7.01    During normal business operations, RBG is committed to responding to all pre and post-travel inquiries within 1 business day. Standard business hours for RBG are as followed: Monday thru Friday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed Sunday (all times in US Eastern Time Zone).

 

Section 7.02    While traveling, you will have 24-hour access to your RBG Travel Advisor so that we may assist you with any unexpected events in a timely manner. You must notify RBG of any issues that arise while traveling so that we may address them, failure to do so means we will be unable to help you reach a resolution.

 

Article 8.      Domestic & International Travel Requirements

Section 8.01    The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires you to carry a government-issued identification card to board a flight. The name, date of birth, and sex that appear on the identification card must exactly match the same data listed on your booking records. Failure to comply with these requirements strictly may result in denied aircraft boarding, an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing me to miss my flight, or denied cruise embarkation.

 

Section 8.02    If traveling internationally, you must have a passport valid for at least six (6) months after returning to the United States of America. You will be required to submit proof of your valid passport to RBG prior to booking any international elements of your trip.

 

Section 8.03     Depending upon your destination and nationality, you may need to obtain one or more visas. RBG will fully research the visa requirements for your destination and provide you specific details as they apply to your itinerary.

 

Section 8.04    While RBG will provide you with the information for your destination(s), You are fully and completely responsible for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s) and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

 

Section 8.05    If traveling to or through Canada, travelers with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or other conviction records should always check whether current rules exclude admission. RBG feels it is an invasion of privacy to make such inquires on your behalf. The final decision of entry rests with the immigration or border services officer. For more information see Canada’s government site and the Canadian Immigration facts.

 

Article 9.      Release of Liability

Section 9.01    I accept that RBG is not responsible for, nor will I attempt to hold it liable for any injury, damage, or loss I may suffer on account of any conditions, actions, or omissions that are beyond its reasonable control. Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of RBG, I will not hold it responsible for any injury, damage, or loss I may suffer while on any third party-provided or operated excursion or activity.
