BY PURCHASING OR PLACING AN ORDER FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PRE-CRUISE, ONBOARD ON THE VESSEL, THROUGH THE PLAN MY CRUISE PLATFORM, OR OTHERWISE THROUGH ROYAL CARIBBEAN GROUP AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES AS DEFINED ABOVE, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU ACCEPT AND ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU MAY NOT ORDER OR OBTAIN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IF YOU (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (B) ARE NOT THE OLDER OF (i) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR (ii) LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT OR (C) ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE OR ANY OF THE WEBSITE’S CONTENTS, GOODS OR SERVICES BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

These Global Purchase terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as “Terms”) apply to the purchase and sale of products and services, including, but not limited to products and services sold or purchased pre-cruise, onboard the vessel, or through the Plan My Cruise platform, whether accessed through a web browser, a mobile device, a mobile application, or any other digital device (the “Site”). These Terms are subject to change without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date.” You should review these Terms prior to purchasing any product or services. Your continued use of the Site or purchase of goods or services after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

 

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Terms of Use that apply generally to the use of Royal Caribbean Group websites, these Terms shall prevail or supersede.

 

1. Order Acceptance.

 

You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even, where applicable, after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.

 

For example, we may reject your order for a beverage package because in certain jurisdictions it is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcohol if you are under the age of 18. Because we are committed to upholding our legal obligations your purchase and the physical distribution process thereof may be subject to additional verification steps (e.g., requesting your date of birth when the order is placed, or asking for identification onboard our vessels prior to order fulfillment).

 

2. Prices, Promotional Onboard Credits, and Payment Terms.

 

Prices posted on the Site may be different than the prices offered or displayed in person, onboard our vessels, by our travel partners, or tour operators. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on the Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email, where applicable. Price changes will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes, or gratuities, except in certain countries where applicable law requires these charges to be included in the posted price (e.g., the EEA, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand). To the extent prices do not include taxes or gratuities, all such taxes and charges will be added to your total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email, where applicable. We strive to display accurate price information, however we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

 

We may display from time-to-time promotions on the Site that may affect pricing. If there is a conflict between a commercial term for a promotion and these Terms, the promotional terms will govern. Otherwise, the legal terms and conditions in these Terms shall prevail.

 

Promotional Onboard Credit (Promotional OBC) may be redeemed via Plan My Cruise or as otherwise accepted. Promotional OBC is priced in United States currency (USD) and will be automatically converted to the local currency of any cruise booking. The value of Promotional OBC in local currency will fluctuate based on currency exchange until an amenity booking is made via Plan My Cruise. Thereafter, the rate of exchange will be fixed for all subsequent purchases using Promotional OBC if there remains any residual credit. Promotional OBC may be complemented with a cash payment via credit or debit card where the value of the Promotional OBC does not cover the cost of any amenities to be purchased. Any unused Promotional OBC at the date of sailing will be transferred for use onboard but will expire at 10pm on the final night of sailing. Promotional OBC cannot be exchanged for cash and is non-refundable. Changes made to cruise bookings may invalidate or reduce Promotional OBC entitlement. Bookings benefiting from free gratuities or a free shore excursion promotional benefit rather than a Promotional OBC amount will see such benefit in Plan My Cruise in the form of a Promotional OBC which will be available, should guests so choose, to purchase other amenities.

 

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, full payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover, MasterCard, JCB, Visa, Apple Pay® for all purchases. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including gratuities and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted at the time of your order.

 

3. Product Descriptions.

 

Each Product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description which may set out additional Specific Terms related to that Product including, without limitation, terms and conditions concerning the products.

 

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions, and prices of Products appearing on the Site are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the Site as up to date as possible, the information including Product Descriptions appearing on the Site at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot confirm the price of a Product until your order is accepted in accordance with our Order acceptance policy.

 

4. Shore Excursions Terms & Conditions and LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

Prices of Shore Excursions include local transportation, such as motor coaches, limousines, taxis, and boats (unless otherwise indicated in the excursion description). Meals and/or beverages are only provided when specified in the excursion description. Snorkeling, scuba, and golf tours only include the equipment specified as part of the price. All prices are subject to change without prior notice until the ticket is purchased.

 

The arrangements set forth on the brochure, electronic receipt, or ticket for transportations, excursions, ground tours, restaurants, or similar activities or services are made solely for your convenience and are at your risk. The providers of such services are independent contractors and are not acting agents or representatives of Royal Caribbean Group. Shore Excursions are operated by independent contractors and tickets are sold by Royal Caribbean Group as a convenience to guests only. Royal Caribbean Group, its employees and agents are in no way responsible for the performance of the excursion and guests participate in any activities offered by the shore excursion at their own risk. Royal Caribbean Group does not undertake to supervise or control the Shore Excursion operators or their employees, nor do we maintain their conveyances of facilities, and make no representation, whether express or implied, regarding their suitability or safety. In no event shall Royal Caribbean Group or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries be liable for any loss, delay, disappointment, damage, injury, death, accident, or other harm to you, which occurs as a result of any acts, omissions, or negligence of any of the Shore Excursion operators or other independent contractors. Guest are required to check with their personal doctor or the Shore Excursion operator concerning any pre-existing medical conditions which may be aggravated by participating in the activity.

 

Royal Caribbean Group reserves the right to verify eligibility upon arrival to the activity. Final meeting time and place will be indicated on your excursion confirmation or excursion ticket. In the unlikely event that your tour is significantly delayed, we will make all the arrangements for you to return to the ship at the earliest opportunity at no expense to you. See your travel partner for additional terms and conditions applicable to your purchase of a Shore Excursion.

 

Shore Excursions are subject to cancellation or modification, depending on the number of guests participating. In the event of an excursion cancellation or modification, we will endeavor to provide advance notice to you. Certain tours have a minimum booking requirement or must be limited to a maximum number of participants. Not all excursions described on this website may be available during a particular sailing. Royal Caribbean Group reserves the right to cancel this ticket at any time and for any reason and its sole liability to the purchaser shall be to refund the equivalent of the unused portion thereof. In the event of cancellation or change in the services or activities by the service provider, Royal Caribbean Group shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss incurred by the purchaser by reason of such cancellation and any refund of the ticket price shall be subject to Royal Caribbean Group’s discretion.

 

For cruises starting 1/1/2024, Shore Excursions can be modified or cancelled up to 48 hours prior to tour port arrival without penalty. Tours involving flights, trains, special events, overnight stays, hotel stays, and Private Journeys must be cancelled 30 days prior to sailing to avoid cancellation penalties. Other restrictions may apply.

 

Please Note: Any dispute or claim for injury, illness, or death arising out of participation in a shore excursion must be brought against the local shore excursion operator. However, if such dispute or claim is made against us, it must be brought in accordance with the law(s) which govern your Cruise Terms, and in the venue specified in your Cruise Terms which shall have sole jurisdiction over such dispute or claim.
