DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS:
A deposit of $350.00 per person is required with each Reservation Request form and is refundable until the cancellation penalties begin. Please refer to Holland America's published brochure for details. If you do not have a brochure, you may call or visit one of our offices. A final statement will be sent to you prior to the due date. When making advance deposit of your final payment, checks or money orders should be made payable to GRINNELL TRAVEL.

CANCELLATIONS/INSURANCE:
Cancellations must be made in writing to Grinnell Travel. If such action is necessary less than 76 days prior to departure, the participant is subject to any cancellation penalties suffered by the travel agent. We recommend you consider purchasing cancellation insurance for your protection. Holland America's Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP) allows you, for any reason, to cancel up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or tour departure without being subject to cancellation fees. The Holland America Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan enables you to supplement the Standard Plan with insurance coverage with various travel assistance services. CPP is optional, must be paid at the time of deposit, and is nonrefundable. Standard CPP is not insurance. It provides no rights other than those explained above. It does not protect double, triple or quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel. Nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption. CPP is strongly recommended as Holland America Line will make no exceptions if CPP is not purchased. Grinnell Travel cannot be responsible for any penalties imposed by the cruise line.
