BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
We may amend these terms and conditions at any time by providing you at least 30 days’ prior notice of the change, whether via our website or by sending you an email. Your continued use after that notice means that you agree to the changed terms and conditions.
1. YOU Travel Orewa arranges bookings, ticketing and other ancillary services of and for travel, accommodation and other leisure activities (“Arrangements”). YOU Travel Orewa is neither a common carrier nor a private carrier and does not provide any of the cruise travel, accommodation or other activities described on our website (“Travel Products”). Our website includes any other online platforms offered by us from time to time, including, but not limited to Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. YOU Travel Orewa acts as agent for third party suppliers who provide Travel Products as principals (“Suppliers”).
2. Travel Arrangements & Travel Products: By making a booking for Arrangements for yourself or on behalf of others, you agree that all persons named in the booking:
- have read these terms and conditions and agree to be bound by them;
- are over the age of 18 years of age.
All Travel Products arranged by YOU Travel Orewa are provided by Suppliers believed by YOU Travel Orewa to be reputable and to operate in accordance with the standards set down by their own local authorities. Those Travel Products are provided subject to those Suppliers’ terms, conditions and limitations (some of which may exclude or limit liability in respect of death, injury, delay, loss or damage to passenger’s person and/or effects) and YOU Travel Orewa accepts no responsibility for them and does not make or give any warranty or representation as to their standard. Any legal recourse you may have in respect of those Travel Products is against those Suppliers and not against YOU Travel Orewa. YOU Travel Orewa recommends that all passengers take out adequate travel insurance cover valid for the entire duration of their Arrangements.
3. Quotation, Changes in Price & Itineraries: Prices are in New Zealand Dollars (except where stated otherwise). A quote is an indicative price only and prices may change up until the time a booking is successfully made (i.e. Peak demand periods, fees and taxes, exchange rate fluctuations and changes in surcharges.). Prices are accurate at the time of booking. Government taxes and charges imposed by Suppliers or third parties, including airline fuel surcharges, taxes or ticketing fees are subject to change. If any increase in such taxes or charges or any currency fluctuation increases the price of your booking, YOU Travel Orewa reserves the right to adjust your price by including additional charges, together with any applicable service fee and GST, at any time prior to and including the date of your departure, even if we have received full payment from you. We will notify you of schedule or price changes made by our Suppliers for any reason beyond our control. If the change or changes result in your Arrangements being materially different from those prior to the change or changes being effected (and in respect of which we have already accepted your deposit or balance of payment) you may rearrange them or withdraw and monies already paid will be refunded less any charges levied by Suppliers and fees charged by YOU Travel Orewa (refer to point 12). The Company reserves the right to correct any errors in amounts quoted, calculated or billed in respect of a booking, even if full payment has been made.
4. Passenger Details & Passport Checks: It is mandatory that all names used to make a booking are exactly as those appearing in the passengers’ passports. You must pay YOU Travel Orewa the name correction/change fee for any name or spelling changes in addition to any re-issue fee charged by an airline or Supplier if these were incorrectly supplied at time of booking (refer to point 12).
5. Cabin Guarantee (GTY): On a variety of cruises a booking may have been confirmed as a GUARANTEE. Also known as a GTY basis, the cruise line is accepting your booking for that particular grade of accommodation or higher, rather than assigning a specific cabin number. For example, you may book a stateroom of a guaranteed category type (i.e. Oceanview, Balcony, etc.), on your chosen sailing, however, the exact grade and cabin number are not allocated at the time of booking and can be allocated by the cruise line at any time up until the check-in port for boarding. With a guarantee cabin, a customer will not be allocated any cabin BELOW this grade. Ensure you check the deck plans to confirm if you are happy to book a cabin with an obstructed view. Please be advised a cabin number will be assigned to you and you cannot request a specific cabin number(s). If for some reason (i.e. oversold cabins), the supplier assigns a cabin that is below the category booked, it is up to the supplier’s discretion to provide compensation and cannot be guaranteed.
6. Payment: All payments must be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). Credit & Debit Card payments: Up to 3% non-commissionable surcharge applies to all payments by credit and debit cards. Surcharge percentage details are outlined on your invoice terms & conditions. This surcharge is calculated at the time of payment. This surcharge is not refundable in any circumstance. In the circumstance where the due date falls over a weekend and or public holiday, it is your responsibility to ensure YOU Travel Orewa has received payment in advance, within YOU Travel Orewa’s business hours. We cannot guarantee we will be able to extend any missed payment due dates set by the Supplier in conjunction with YOU Travel Orewa’s terms and conditions. For direct bank transfer payments, we require the booking number and lead passengers name in the reference area when making a bank transfer (i.e. CC-TDVI6DE Jones). Failure to enter the necessary information may result in the booking being cancelled if the payment cannot be identified and allocated.
7. Deposit: The Deposit must be paid by the date outlined on your invoice. Any additional deposit required by a Supplier must be paid within the timeframe required by the Supplier. You will be notified if any additional deposit (including Supplier advance payment) requirements apply. If the deposit or any Supplier advance payment or additional deposit has not been received by YOU Travel Orewa within the time specified by us, the booking is subject to cancellation without notice.
8. Final payment: The balance of the price of your Arrangements is payable to YOU Travel Orewa by the due date stated on your invoice. If for any reason we have not received payment by the due date, we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled and you must pay the appropriate cancellation charges. Surcharge Rate: MasterCard and Visa 1.5% non-commissionable surcharge*, American Express 3% non-commissionable surcharge*
*Surcharge not shown on the invoice, calculated at the time of payment, surcharge is non-refundable.
NOTE: All payments must be made by 2pm NZST (Mon-Fri) on the invoice due date, to avoid auto cancellations by Suppliers. If a payment is made after 2pm NZST on the invoice due date, you must call through to our reservations team on 0800 362 599 to advise us of payments made.
9. Exchange Rates: YOU Travel Orewa will re-cost all applicable booked services at the prevailing exchange rate, should there be an exchange adjustment which is out of our control, we will provide you with a new invoice reflecting any adjustments.
10. Travel Documents: When applicable, all passengers must complete the cruise registration for the specific cruise line Supplier you are travelling with in order for the travel documents to be released from Supplier*. Once travel documents are available from the Cruise line, YOU Travel Orewa will electronically send the soft copy to you. Should you require printed documents, for all bookings please contact our documentation team to request. For all printed documentation requests, a NZ$20 fee per cabin will be incurred.
All early printed travel document requests must be emailed to [email protected] a minimum of 4 weeks prior to departure. In order to prioritise early documentation requests, please attach a copy of your e-tickets or itinerary (this is a requirement of the cruise line). Alternatively, please call us on 0800 362 599.
*A New Zealand residential address MUST be entered into your cruise registration.
11. Late Bookings: Bookings made within 90 days of departure will only be accepted if payment of the price in full is received by YOU Travel Orewa at the time of booking. If a booking is made within 7 days of departure, you must provide a credit card or other means approved by YOU Travel Orewa that secures payment of any cancellation fees if the booking is subsequently cancelled. Some bookings made within 7 days of departure may incur a service fee of NZ$50 (inclusive of New Zealand GST) applies.
12. Cancellations, amendments, reissues & other services: If you cancel or terminate your Arrangements, you must notify YOU Travel Orewa in writing by emailing [email protected]. Cancellations are not confirmed until YOU Travel Orewa has emailed a cancellation confirmation to you. Cancellations will incur a YOU Travel Orewa fee of NZ$100pp, in addition to the Supplier’s cancellation fees. In most cases there will be cancellation fees charged by Suppliers, such as cruise lines, airlines, hotels and ground operators of all or part of the price paid. This will delay the payment of any refund due. For this reason YOU Travel Orewa strongly recommends that your travel insurance policy includes cover for cancellation charges in the event of cancellation due to illness or other circumstances. Amendments – Any amendments to bookings, including but not limited to, changing the booking dates, Supplier, or any passenger related amendments, will incur a fee of NZ$50pp per amendment. NOTE: Where a cruise line releases a promotional fare after you have booked, any transfer of that booking to a promotional rate on the same or new cruise is regarded as a cancellation of the first booking and subject to cancellation fees (mentioned above). Some cruise lines have strict policies regarding rebooking a cruise on promotional rates.
13. Groups: YOU Travel Orewa will accept group bookings on a case by case basis. An upfront, non-refundable deposit of NZ$100 per cabin (in addition to the supplier deposit) is required to secure a group booking. Any amendments to the group booking once it has been secured will also incur a fee of NZ$50pp per amendment.
14. Refunds: No refund is available for cancellations after your travel has commenced or in respect of any travel arrangements, tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised whether by choice, or because of late arrival or early departure, including failure of any transport to operate according to schedule. Refunds can take up to 90 days to process from the Supplier. Please note that employees of any Supplier are not authorised by YOU Travel Orewa to make any undertakings in respect of refunds or other matters on behalf of YOU Travel Orewa.
15. What’s Not Included in the Price: Airfares, transfers, pre and post accommodation and any other services not otherwise stated or paid for on your quote/booking invoice. This may also include anything not specifically included in the Arrangements such as excess baggage, airport taxes, passport and visa fees, insurance, laundry, phone calls, beverages, meals not detailed in the itinerary, gratuities in some cases, tips to tour directors, motor coach drivers and local guides and all other items of a personal nature including expenses, fees or costs incurred in case of illness. Items not included on regular menus; expenses for additional sightseeing not specified in the itinerary, premium spirits and premium wine (please refer to complimentary beverage program if applicable), any drinks or meals not detailed in the itinerary; and health, accident, baggage, or travel protection plans.
16. Gratuities (unless otherwise stated): Gratuities for onboard and onshore personnel (including but not limited to ship staff, crew, cruise/tour manager, local experts, and drivers) are not included in travel arrangements. When gratuities are included they may not cover all services or gratuities, both during the cruise and tour as well as on any pre or post-cruise land extensions. Some cruise lines have mandatory onboard gratuities. If your fare includes gratuities as a prepayment, this will be outlined on your booking confirmation.
17. Insurance: We highly recommend you arrange travel insurance against loss of deposit and cancellation charges, baggage loss, theft, accident, injury and medical expenses. You must arrange your own insurance. YOU Travel Orewa makes no representations or guarantees concerning risks covered or reimbursement available under any insurance and you must satisfy yourself in that regard. You agree not to hold YOU Travel Orewa responsible for any decision made by insurers, and/or by any Suppliers, or requirements of any overseas country or governmental authority or overseas laws and policies. YOU Travel Orewa can provide insurance letters as required, less the cancellation charges imposed by us after a fully paid booking is cancelled.
18. Passports, Visa & Baggage: It is your responsibility to find out about visa entry, health and other requirements of the countries to which you and other passengers on your booking intend to travel and you should make the appropriate disclosures as required. Ensure you allow time to obtain them prior to your departure. NOTE: Many countries require your passport be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure from that country. A visa does not guarantee you entry to or permission to remain in a country. Some countries may refuse entry because of your state of health or for other reasons, or may detain, expel or repatriate you. These matters are not the responsibility of YOU Travel Orewa. YOU Travel Orewa accepts no responsibility and is not liable for any expenses, costs liabilities or loss incurred in relation to such matters or for your failure to comply with laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited. You agree to not hold YOU Travel Orewa including its servants and agents responsible in that regard.

Additional rollaway beds for triple share hotel room stays may be arranged at time of check-in and charges are payable direct to the hotel.
22. Hotel Check-In: To guarantee charges for incidental items, Suppliers usually require validation of a current credit card upon check-in.
