SARGASSUM ADVISORY

Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.

RESERVATIONS INCLUDING PASSENGERS FROM CUBA

If passengers from Cuba cannot travel for any reason, passengers from outside of Cuba keep their reservation and the reserved travel date.  The cancellation terms of reservations with passengers from Cuba are the same that apply to all reservations. The fact that passengers from Cuba cannot travel for any reason, does not give additional right of cancellation, refund or rescheduling for passengers from outside of Cuba.

SCOPE AND NATURE OF OUR SERVICE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

305 Booking LLC acts as a travel agent only. We sell various travel related products on behalf of numerous transport service providers, including, but not limited to hotel, tours, airlines, cruise and rail. 305 Booking LLC obligations to you are to make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and the travel service providers. We have no responsibility for these services. Our service does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or rating, type of accommodation of any Trip Provider (or its facilities, venue, vehicles, (main or ancillary) products or services) made available, save as explicitly indicated or set out otherwise.

A request to the hotel cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for flight delays or for flight changes decided by the airlines. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of liability imposed by these travel service providers. You understand that your legal recourse is against the specific provider not 305 Booking LLC.

305 Booking LLC and its employees, affiliates, officers, directors, successors, agents, and assigns do not own or operate any entity which provides goods and services for your travel including without limitation, lodging facilities, airline, vessel, motor coach, or other transportation companies, guides or guide services, local ground operators, providers or organizers of optional excursions, food service providers, etc. All such persons and entities are independent contractors and are in no way affiliated to 305 Booking LLC. You may see the name 305 Booking LLC affixed to motor vehicles, on signs around the hotel or elsewhere. This use of our name is purely for reasons of identification and does not denote ownership, supervision, or control by 305 Booking LLC in any way.

305 Booking LLC is not liable for any negligent or willful act or failure to act of any travel service provider or of any third party. 305 Booking LLC is not responsible for any injury, loss, death, inconvenience, delay, or damage to person or property in connection with the provision of any goods or services whether resulting from, but not limited to, acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war or civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of accommodations, mechanical or other failure of airplanes or other means of transportation, or for any failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time. If due to weather, flight schedules or other uncontrollable factors you are required to spend additional night(s), you will be responsible for your own hotel, transfers and meal costs. Baggage is entirely at owner’s risk.

Customer specifically agree that 305 Booking LLC does not accept liability for failure to meet any of our obligations to you if the failure is due to events beyond our reasonable control. If we fail to meet any of our obligations, we shall only be reliable for direct losses and not for any indirect or consequential losses. Where we are liable to you our maximum liability to you shall not exceed the price of your reservation, unless otherwise stated by law.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS

If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider, and not against 305 Booking LLC and in the event that payment has been made to 305 Booking LLC by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to 305 Booking LLC. If 305 Booking LLC incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If the credit card is declined, you guarantee that you will settle any amounts owing to 305 Booking LLC via money order or cash immediately.

PROVIDERS ALTERNATIVES AND ADD-ON ITEMS

We reserve the right to change Airline and other providers. Should your hotel be unavailable, we reserve the right to change it for one of equal or better category.

The add-on items including but not limited to Excursions and Concerts are offered as courtesy. We will make proper arrangements to deliver those services; but if for any reason they can’t be delivered it doesn’t entitle to refunds, exchanges or compensations of any kind.

FLIGHT CONFIRMATION AND PLANE SEAT ASSIGNMENT

We strongly suggest that clients reconfirm exact flight times with the carrier prior to departure. Air travelers are required to check in at least 3 hours prior to departure time for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights and must report to the gate at least 1 hour prior to departure time. Failure to comply may result in the loss of the seat to another passenger.

Airfare taxes and fuel surcharges are subject to change without notice until paid in full and air tickets issued. Airfares may change without notice prior to e-ticket issuance. Fares may not be available on all flights and/or travel dates while certain fares may only be available for new bookings.

If you want the seats of your group to be together, please ask the agent what the extra cost is, since the least expensive fares do not usually allow to select specific seats. Many airlines do not allow advance seat assignments for groups. Most airlines secure seat blocks for groups, but do not assign passengers to specific seats until airport check-in.

GROUP TRAVEL PACKAGES

In each tour, the itinerary specifies the services included on the trip. As a rule, a strictly literal approach must be followed that leads to the conclusion that, what is not specifically listed as included in the tour price, is excluded. The order of the activities in the itinerary can change. Besides, in the event that it is not possible to carry out an activity on the itinerary for reasons beyond the control of the tour operator, it will be replaced by another activity.

Not Included in the Rates. U.S. and International arrival and departure, and other government-imposed fees. Port taxes; passports; visas and vaccinations; tips to your tour director, host, driver, local guides, and/or ships’ crew; gratuities on ferries, trains, and cruise ships; laundry; telephone; minibar; alcohol, beverages, and food outside of the contracted menu as presented at a hotel or restaurant (these extra items will be billed to you before leaving the hotel or restaurant); optional excursions; airport transfers on non-qualifying flights; porterage at airports and train stations; travel insurance premiums; carrier baggage fees; and all other items of a personal nature.

Hotels mentioned in itinerary are samples used as reference only. Special requests such as elevators, air conditioning, etc. are not guaranteed in all properties. In addition, even if a property has amenities such as air conditioning or elevator, it is not guaranteed that it will be operational during your stay. All rooms have private bathroom and TV. Some of them also offer a mini-bar, safe box, and hair dryer. Many hotels, mainly in North Europe, do not have air conditioning or local legislation establishes limited dates of use. In some circuits exist certain slight differences within the quality of the hotels located in the same city. Due to narrow streets, buses are not always able to park in front of the hotel. In this case, passengers may have to walk a short distance with their bag to the hotel.

Please keep in mind that standards, bed sizes and room dimensions can however vary between hotels of the same class, in different countries, and even in the same country. Numerous hotels do not have triple rooms offering, instead, standard rooms based on twins or double bed with an extra bed which may be a camp-bed style or a sofa-bed. Triple room in cruises are typically composed of two twin bed and one bunk bed. We do not recommend a triple room unless you travel with kids as condition may often be cramped. Most of hotels in Europe do not accept more than three people, including minors, per room; if you are traveling in a family of four with under kids under three, you may consider booking two bedrooms. There is a limited number of triple bedrooms in each hotel, and on some exceptional occasion it may be necessary the use of a double and a single room instead. Booking a triple room implies the acceptance of these conditions.

HEALTH AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

 It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation. Please advise the airline/hotel/service provider of any special requirements you may have, for example, special meals, medical requirements and so on.

Governments and local officials could implement travel requirements related to diseases. Keep in mind that travel requirements are updated often and can change rapidly, so we recommend checking the country, city, and state websites before your trip for the latest information. Also, the airlines, transportation services, entertainment companies and facilities, tours operators, and hotels could put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of diseases. Tourism and transportation service providers have information available online regarding their policies. It is crucial that you keep updated with the most current information since the protocols, measures, and restrictions are constantly evolving.

Please be advised that 305 Booking LLC only acts as your travel agent. Therefore, 305 Booking LLC is not responsible in any way for the acts or omissions, protocols, restrictions, or measures applied by any country, city, state government, airport, hotel, tour operator, transportation services, hotels, or any other individual or company. By booking with 305 Booking LLC you further acknowledge, understand, appreciate, and agree that your participation in any travel may result in possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases, including, but not limited to, MRSA, Influenza, and COVID-19. While actions may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does exist. By traveling you knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence and assume full responsibility for your participation and exposure.
