Cancellations and Changes

CANCELLATION
Due to the unique nature of our event, we have a very strict “NO REFUND/CANCELLATION” policy. No refunds will be issued, unless due primarily to the fault of MORC. Therefore, we HIGHLY recommend that passengers consider purchasing travel insurance. For maximum coverage, we recommend that you consider third party policies with “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage.

Due to the nature of this event, all deposits and payments for MONSTERS OF ROCK CRUISE are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. Therefore, we highly recommend Travel Insurance.

As mentioned under “Cruise Fare” of our Terms and Conditions, due to the nature of this event, all deposits on the Monsters of Rock Cruise are NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. Therefore, we highly recommend travel insurance. For full explanation and details on Travel Insurance, Click Here.

Travel Insurance is NOT included in your reservation. The purchase of insurance is the sole responsibility of each guest sailing and is NOT offered through On the Blue Cruises, Inc. & MORC, LLC or the MONSTERS OF ROCK CRUISE Reservations team. It is up to each guest to research and decide on a 3rd party vendor of his or her choice for insurance, if they choose to do so. On the Blue Cruises, Inc. & MORC, LLC and MONSTERS OF ROCK CRUISE are not responsible for any losses, medical expenses accrued during travel and/or any and all deposits, due to lack of travel insurance. Not all travel insurance is the same, and you should carefully investigate to determined what situations are covered, and how they are covered, in each policy you may be offered.

Any cancellation and reservation changes must be submitted in writing by following the steps below:

The date the form is received will be the date of cancellation. No exceptions will be made, and this process must be followed (unless the cancellation is done by On the Blue Cruises, Inc. & MORC, LLC for failure to pay or other reason(s) within our discretion).

If You Do Not Show Up For The Program On Time, or Do Not Otherwise Use Your Ticket: There will be no refunds given.

NO-SHOWS

There will be no refunds given for those who do not show up on time, for unused tickets, or to those seeking refunds after the Cruise has commenced.

Please note the cancellation provisions of these Terms and Conditions apply to the Cruise, regardless of any representations made by Royal Caribbean, whether in its passenger contract terms or elsewhere. The rights granted to passengers in the ROYAL CARIBBEAN Cruise Ticket Contract relating to the payment or refund of cruise fare and to cancellations by passengers are superseded by these Terms & Conditions and shall not be applicable.

RESERVATION CHANGES, TRANSFERS & FEES
The Passenger who places a reservation for a cabin onboard is considered the cabin’s “Primary” passenger and is therefore solely responsible for initiating or authorizing all changes to the reservation.

Downgrading your cabin to a cabin of lesser value is not allowed. Primary passenger name changes are considered a CABIN TRANSFER and are subject to a transfer fee of $299 USD. All new passengers are required to complete and agree to the Reservation Terms & Conditions before the change will be accepted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all cabins can accommodate 3 and/or 4 guests. Cabins that hold more than two passengers are limited and we cannot guarantee that additional guests can be added to your cabin at a later date. Triple and quad occupancy cabins will only be assigned to those with more than 2 passengers in the cabin at the time of booking. Guests that plan to add additional guests, may attempt to do so, but are not guaranteed their stateroom will accommodate the new occupancy after the original booking date. This may require a change of cabin location or an upgrade of category, but this is also subject to availability.

In addition, if a guest is purchasing a VIP Cabin, VIP credentials are capacity controlled and therefore guests may not be able to be added to VIP cabins at a later date.

No transfer or change of a reservation to a NEW passenger shall be made without MORC’s prior written approval, to be given or withheld in MORC’s sole discretion. Subject to the preceding sentence, under no circumstances shall a Passenger or any person or entity acting on Passenger’s behalf (i) sell a reservation, cabin, or berth to any other person or entity for more than the price paid by the Passenger, or (ii) offer the reservation, cabin or berth to any other person(s) or entity(s) as a prize or award in a drawing, contest, lottery, sweepstakes, raffle or similar event of any kind; a transfer in violation of this sentence shall not be permitted, and the Primary passenger shall indemnify and hold harmless MORC from and against any damages, losses and claims suffered by MORC as a result of a violation by Primary passenger, or any other passenger listed on the reservation, of this paragraph. If a Primary or other passenger wishes to transfer the reservation, cabin or berth to a NEW passenger, the Primary passenger shall send a request in writing using our “Reservation Change Request Form” for approval of this transfer to MORC, along with (i) the reason for the requested transfer and a statement that the transfer will not violate this paragraph, (ii) the NEW passenger’s name, and (iii) a completed acceptance of and agreement to these Terms and Conditions from the NEW passenger. If the request is approved by MORC, the NEW passenger must make a deposit equal to the amount due based on the above due dates and/or full payment of the original amount paid on the reservation, whichever is more. Once that payment has been made, then the applicable amounts paid by the ORIGINAL traveler will be refunded directly to the original traveler. Any NEW passenger sailing with a reservation transferred to him/her in violation of this paragraph may be denied boarding by MORC or, in MORC’s sole discretion, removed by MORC from the Cruise at any port, at such NEW passenger’s sole cost.
