HOW OUR ORDER IS DETERMINED
You have a lot of alternatives when you purchase on our site as a traveler to help you locate the ideal hotel, flight, rental vehicle, cruise, or activity. You can use the "sort" settings to arrange search results according to your preferences, including price, verified review score, and other factors. To fit their travel requirements, you may also add or omit certain choices using the "filter" settings. In the event that no options are chosen, the search results will provide a variety of pertinent options depending on the following:
Based on the previously mentioned relevance elements, a cruise's payment for reservations made through our websites also influences the relative ranking of properties with comparable offers. According to the aforementioned criteria, we will arrange properties with comparable outcomes on our non-default sorts (for instance, if you sort by price or star rating).
Additionally, we continually optimize our service to provide you with the best experience. Accordingly, we may test different default sort order algorithms from time to time.

PREPAID HOTEL RESERVATIONS
You understand that in order to make reservations easier, the CF Companies pre-negotiate specific room rates with hotel suppliers. The pre-negotiated hotel rate for rooms that the CF Companies have reserved on your behalf and the facilitation charge that the CF Companies keep for their services are combined to create the room pricing that is shown on the website. You give the CF Companies permission to make bookings for the full reservation amount, which includes the room rate shown on the website as well as any relevant taxes on the CF Companies' services, service fees, and tax collection expenses.
You agree that your credit card will be charged by the CF Companies for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize the CF Companies to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You understand that the CF Companies do not collect taxes to be remitted to the relevant taxing authorities, with the exception of the information below regarding tax responsibilities on the funds we retain for our services. The projected taxes (such as sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value-added tax, etc.) that the CF Companies pay to the hotel supplier for taxes owed on the hotel's room rental rate are recovered by the tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions. The CF Companies receive invoices from the hotel vendors for a variety of expenses, including tax amounts.
Remitting applicable taxes to the relevant taxation jurisdictions is the responsibility of the hotel operators. The operator that we book or reserve our customers' travel plans with is not a co-vendor of any of the CF Companies. Location-specific differences in taxable income and the relevant tax rate are significant. Depending on the rates, taxability, etc., in force at the time our customers actually utilize the hotel, the actual tax amounts paid by the CF Companies to the hotel suppliers may differ from the tax recovery fee amounts. Service fees retained by the CF Companies for their services vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival, you will be subject to a charge equal to the applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges, and service fees. In the event you do not show up for the first night of the reservation and plan to check in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation. You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for hotel reservations. You agree to abide by the Terms of Use imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.
In some jurisdictions, the amounts we charge for our services (service fee and/or facilitation fee) are subject to sales, use, and/or municipal hotel occupancy taxes. The rates in force at the time of your hotel stay may affect the actual tax amounts on our services.
More than eight rooms cannot be reserved online for the same hotel and stay dates. We may cancel your reservations and, if necessary, charge you a cancellation fee if we find that you have made separate reservations for more than eight rooms. Your deposit will be lost if you make a non-refundable payment. You must get in touch with a CF travel consultant if you want to make reservations for nine or more rooms. They will look into your request and get in touch with you to finalize the arrangement. You might be required to pay a non-refundable deposit and/or sign a formal contract.
PAY NOW OR PAY LATER
You can choose to pay at the hotel or online right away at some establishments. CF will instantly charge the amount displayed on your credit card if you choose the "Pay Online Now" option. "Pay Later at the Hotel" will be charged to your credit card in the local currency when you check-in. Foreign exchange and tax rates may fluctuate between the time of booking and the duration of the stay. A foreign exchange conversion fee might also be assessed by your credit card company. Only "Pay Online Now" reservations are eligible for CF coupons.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
It is your responsibility to make sure that you meet the requirements for foreign entry, that all other requirements are met, and that your travel documents, including your passport and any business, tourist, or transit visas, are in order. CF is not particularly knowledgeable about travel paperwork or requirements for international admission. Before making travel arrangements to foreign locations, we encourage clients to check travel restrictions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the appropriate governments.
Passport and Visa: You must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for this information. Requirements may change, and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. We accept no liability if you are refused entry onto a cruise or into any country due to your failure to carry the correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any authority or country, including countries you may just be transiting through. This includes all stops made by the cruise ship, even if you do not disembark the cruise ship.
Health: Travel vaccination recommendations might vary, so before you leave, check with your doctor for the most recent advice. You are in charge of making sure you fulfill all health entrance criteria, get the appropriate vaccinations, take all prescribed medications, and heed any medical advise regarding your trip.

If a currency convertor is available on the Website, the following terms and conditions apply: Currency rates should only be used as a guide and are derived from a variety of publically accessible sources. Actual rates may differ, and rates are not confirmed to be accurate. Not all currency quotes are updated daily. Check the currency converter feature's date for the day the currency was last updated.

PAYMENT AND FEES
When the "merchant location" (as defined by the card brand, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express) and the card issuer are in separate countries, many banks and credit card companies charge their account holders a transaction fee. The bank or other organization handling the transaction is the only one that can decide the currency exchange rate, if any, and any transaction fees. The card issuer may apply these fees to the cardholder's account as a charge. On a credit or debit card statement, the fees will be shown separately from the transaction amount when imposed by the card issuer. This implies that the amount displayed on the billing summary page for a reservation made on the website can differ from the amount on your credit or debit card statement. Please get in touch with your bank if you have any issues concerning these costs or any currency rates that were applied to your reservation.

LEGAL NOTICES
Nothing is more significant to us than our guests' safety. Comprehensive, fleet-wide security practices have been in place for many years, which include the reporting of alleged crimes to the FBI. However, statistics regarding alleged crimes on cruise ships will now be made publicly available online due to the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010. The law's requirements for public reporting are specific to the cruise sector; other travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, and theme parks, are not subject to the same rules.
The statistics, cited within the U.S. Coast Guard's web site, represent crime allegations in different categories occurring on cruise ships sailing from North America, which must be reported in accordance to the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010.
It is important to note that the FBI is no longer looking into these alleged occurrences, and it's possible that they were reported without enough proof. Furthermore, it's critical to contextualize these figures appropriately so that everyone is aware of how low the crime rate is on board compared to the number of passengers we transport.
