Payments, Cancellation Dates & Refund Policy: 
International cruise programs require long-term planning. Costs are incurred long before actual departures. Because of this, any fees, deposits, pertinent expenditures for internal airlines, hotel deposits, event deposits or payments we cannot recover from vendors are at the expense of the passenger(s) and must be deducted from payments received from the passenger regardless of the reason for the cancellation by the passenger. Beyond that, the following Payment and Cancellation Penalty Policy applies to all passengers: 
  • After you've verbally confirmed you wish to book a tour with Elizabeth Stoddard, you need to immediately fill out the Registration Form. You will receive from her an Invoice for the tour. A $1,000 per person non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your tour. BLC uses those funds to secure the deposit with the yacht, coach, hotel companies. They do not refund this money so we cannot either.  It is best to use ZELLE to send BLC the deposit.
  • Your invoice will specify when the next payments are due. Payment by check, Zelle, Wise or other wire transfers is preferred. We do not use Venmo or credit cards to save you 2-3+% fees.
  • Cancellation between 120 and 90 days prior to departure receive a 25% refund unless added expenses as noted above in the first paragraph of this section. In that case, the unrecoverable prepayments will be deducted from the passenger's payment received by BLC.. 
  • Cancellation less than 90 days prior to departure means no refund.
  • Any funds not eligible for refund can be applied to a future BLC tour in accordance with the % that can be used for that particular trip. Sometimes 100% can be applied. Other tours may only allow 10% to 50% of the non-refundable funds to be applied to that trip. Call for details.
  • Substitutions: on any of our in-country cruises and tours, should you need or want to cancel, for any reason, and supply the same number of people you booked for the same price, these people may be substituted. 
  • Airlines have their own rules and you’ll need to follow their guidelines.

 
Refunds: Upon receipt of written notification of cancellation, refunds are processed according to the above Cancellation Penalty Policy.  The refund, if applicable, will be paid within 21 days of the cancellation being received.  Send cancellation requests either via email at [email protected] or in writing to:
            Bucket List Cruises and Tours, LLC.
              1148 W. 1150 S.
               Payson, UT 84651

Trip Cancellation Insurance is recommended.  
BLC recommends that when traveling, all customers ought to have the trip cancellation policy that fits their circumstances. For those with health conditions, policy terms are available. “Cancel for Any Reason” policies are usually just that, but their price is higher. Just know that if you cancel or if the trip is canceled for reasons outside of  BLC’s control, you’ll likely lose all your funds unless Trip Cancellation Insurance covers you.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Immunizations: Guests must follow government health requirements applicable at the time of the cruise. Passengers are responsible for paying for all tests and vaccinations.  
Jurisdiction: Should there be allegations of breach of contract or dispute of performance or payment, the parties agree that all such legal matters shall be adjudicated in the state of Utah, where BLC was legally formed. It is within this legal jurisdiction that any suit must be filed, such as but not limited to the case of a contract breach. 
           All legal challenges must be conducted in the jurisdiction to be specified by BLC.
Luggage: Pack lightly. Take important items in carry-on luggage on international flights because delayed luggage is common. You are responsible for taking your own luggage through customs. Porters and luggage carts are often not readily available. You should be comfortable carrying your own luggage. Baggage is carried at your risk. BLC is not responsible for loss, theft, damage or delay of your luggage or contents. Because of limited space on buses, you are limited to one piece of checked luggage which the total sum of the dimensions cannot exceed 62” (length + height + width= 62 inches) and 50 pounds (many airlines restrict you to 42 pounds). Check our individual tour page for luggage requirements. Excess baggage requires extra fees and tips. Most airlines restrict carry-ons to one bag that fits under the seat. Other airlines limit your carry-on bag to 15 pounds.
Money & Exchanging: Bring cash for all your smaller expenses and be surprised if they take your credit cards for larger ones. ATMs and credit card use is prevalent. Local vendors sometimes demand crisp, clean, new Euros and U.S. currency, preferably in $1, $5, $10, and $20. Larger bills are carefully scrutinized. 
For Australia and New Zealand, while they have their own currencies, rarely will you use their currency. Instead, virtually everyone takes ONLY credit cards for everything. In 5 trips there in the past two years the owners of BLC have yet to use the local currency. So skip the money exchange booth. And an ATM is rarely used.
Passports:  Governments demand your passport be valid for at least six months beyond intended visit and contains at least two (2) unused (blank) facing pages labeled Visa. Note: Visa pages referred to above do not include pages reserved for Endorsements, Amendments  or Observations.   
Tour Escorts: No escorts, guides or staff members are provided in gateway or stopover cities.
Visas: Currently, no visa is required for Croatia. Visa is required for Tanzania. An ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) is required and easy to get for Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the British Isles and other locations.
“Ugly American Syndrome”: We reserve the right to terminate the tour of any passenger who acts inappropriately, disrupts any tour, causes contention with other tourists, guest or crew, or uses illicit drugs or alcohol.
