U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States will need a valid U.S. passport and there are a few other things want to remind you of and would be happy to talk with you more in-depth.

Vaccinations: The country you’re traveling to may require proof of vaccinations. Without proper vacinnations, you may be denied entry in the country. We recommend visiting http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/ to find information on health notices and recommended/required vaccinations for the countries you’ll be visiting.

Visas: Some countries require visas to enter. Without a valid visa, you may be denied entry into the country. You can find out if you need a visa by visiting the embassy website of the country you’ll be traveling to. And of course, you can always contact us with questions!

Children Traveling with One Parent, or Someone Who is Not a Parent/Legal Guardian, or Children Traveling in a Group: Foreign border officials may require custody documents or written consent from the other parent/both parents. The requirements may vary by country.

 

CRUISE CANCELLATIONS – Cancellation of your cruise could result in a loss of deposit, full payment and/or administrative fees. Please see the cruise line’s specific terms and conditions for exact penalties. Airline change fees will apply. Other restrictions may apply. Please see the cruise line’s specific terms and conditions for flight(s) purchased via the cruise line.

 

CRUISE REVISIONS – Any changes made to your cruise reservation after the initial booking date will result in supplier fees, if applicable. Please note that the cruise lines do not allow any rate reductions once penalties commence or once your cruise is paid in full. Exceptions to this policy, if any, are at the full discretion of the cruise line and are outside of the control of Murrow’s Cruises, LLC. If a rate reduction is allowed for your booking, it will be subject to any cruise line terms and conditions. Any changes to the flight(s) portion of your cruise will result in airline change fees and additional fare collection, if applicable. Please note that airlines do not allow rate reductions once your airline tickets have been paid in full.

 

TRAVEL INSURANCE OFFERS SOME PEACE OF MIND – Plan now, you never know what life will throw at you. Please Note: To be eligible for the waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusion, the protection plan must be purchased within a specific number of days from the time you make your initial trip payment. The full coverage terms and details, including limitations and exclusions, are contained in the insurance policy.

Agent for Suppliers: Murrow’s Cruises, LLC acts as a sales agent for any airline, hotel, car-rental company, tour operator, cruise line, or other service provider named in your itinerary or confirmation (“Suppliers”). We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of the Suppliers or their failure to adhere to their own schedules, provide services or refunds, financial default, or failure to honor future trip credits. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial condition of the Suppliers and no liability for recommending a trip credit in lieu of a refund.

 

Risks of Travel and Release: We assume no responsibility for and shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any party not under our control, or any acts of God, unsafe conditions, terrorism, health hazards including pandemics, illnesses, weather hazards, or the suitability for a disabled person of any portion of any trip. We have no special knowledge of dangers during travel or at destinations. For information related to such dangers, we recommend going to the State Department travel website at www.travel.state.gov, click on “Find International travel Information” then click on “Country Information”, and fill in the name of the destination country. For medical and health information, we recommend going to the Centers for Disease Control website at www.cdc.gov/travel, then click on “Destinations” and scroll to the name of the destination country. It is your personal decision to travel, and you are doing so with full knowledge of current travel recommendations and travel restrictions with regards to the risks of COVID-19. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL OF THESE RISKS AND DANGERS, AND YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO FOREVER RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND HOLD US, AND OUR AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, ASSOCIATES, AFFILIATED COMPANIES, GUIDES, GROUP LEADERS, AND SUBCONTRACTORS HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, SUITS, CLAIMS, AND DEMANDS OF ANY AND EVERY KIND AND NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH YOU NOW HAVE OR WHICH MAY HEREAFTER ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE RISKS AND DANGERS. Price Increases: Travel arrangements involving airline and cruise components are subject to Suppliers’ supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the supplier and/or government, even after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them. Suppliers have their own contracts covering cancellation penalties and other terms and conditions, and you may be bound by those contracts regardless of whether you receive notice of their terms.

 

Credit Card Merchant: We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase, so that you can exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act if you do not receive the services you purchased. However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the Suppliers. If the Suppliers do not provide the services, your only recourse would be against the Suppliers, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us.

Claims Deadline and Exclusive Jurisdiction: You agree to present any claims against us within 30 days after your trip ends and to file suit within one year of the incident, and you acknowledge that this expressly limits the applicable statute of limitations to one year. You agree that the courts in Porter County, Indiana will be the exclusive jurisdiction for all claims brought by you or us, and you hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
