once flights have been ticketed, cancellation and change fees may apply. Air, seat and
meal requests are the sole responsibility of the traveler. We cannot be held responsible
for aircraft or seat assignment changes made by the airline. Note that regional flights
overseas often will not accept advance seat or meal requests. Clients are responsible
for reconfirming all flights within 48 hours of each flight. Ground transportation is
provided by air-conditioned vehicles unless otherwise specified. Note that seat belts are
not always available in international destinations.
This is a group travel experience. For ground transportation, all travel participants will be
transported together with the other Carnival Hunter travel participants on the trip. All
ground transportation details will be included in your itinerary prior to your departure.
Reasonable effort must be made to adhere to the ground travel schedule while on the
trip to ensure a smooth transition to and from all of the parties, events and experiences
during the trip.

bath facilities, unless otherwise requested or stated. Note that in many countries king
beds are not available.
On check-in, each room is secured by funds hold a bank card of one of the persons in
the room. Funds holds are usually between $100 -$150 USD and will be used towards
room charges and incidentals. Room charges and incidentals are charges that include
but are not limited to room service, outgoing calls, snacks from the minibar, and any
charge initiated by the occupants of the room. If you do not make any incidental charges,
the hold will be lifted and the money returned when you check out.

airline for specific baggage allowances. Carnival Hunters arrangements and tour costs
are based on one carry-on bag per traveler. If you anticipate that your luggage will

to get to your gate before boarding time.
X. HEALTH AND PHYSICAL CONDITION
Participants are understood to be in good health to undertake foreign travel.
Carnival Hunters requests that all travelers notify us in writing as early as possible of any
physical or health conditions or other special needs while traveling (e.g., wheelchair
requirements, access to refrigerators to store medications, dietary requirements or
allergies, requests for large seats, limited walking ability during touring, schedule
requirements, etc.). We make this request to ensure that your comfort and convenience
are taken into consideration for all travel services we arrange. We will make reasonable
efforts to accommodate the needs of our travelers. In cases where we cannot
accommodate a traveler’s special needs, persons requiring this assistance must be
accompanied by a companion who will be responsible for independently providing the
needed assistance. We regret that we cannot provide special individual assistance to
travelers with special needs for ordinary daily activities, such as walking and dining.
Unless specific arrangements have been confirmed with Carnival Hunters, in no instance
will we or our suppliers physically push wheelchairs or lift or assist participants onto or off
of transportation vehicles.
XI. MEDICAL COSTS AND INSURANCE
Carnival Hunters strongly recommend that, before traveling, you review your health and
other insurance to ensure you have coverage appropriate to meet your needs, and those
of your family and dependents, in case of any personal injury or loss of property. We also
recommend consulting with your doctor six to eight weeks prior to your trip for advice on
travel medications and recommended prophylaxis and vaccinations. Travelers are
responsible for verifying all health conditions at each travel destination. Furthermore,
Carnival Hunters strongly recommend the purchase of comprehensive travel insurance
and medical evacuation coverage. Any questions about what travel insurance does or
does not cover should be addressed directly to the travel insurance company. Travel
insurance, medical evacuation and hospitalization costs are not included in the travel
participant’s price.
XII. ALTERATIONS OF ARRANGEMENTS
Voluntary changes made by tour participants after the itinerary has been finalized will be
subject to a $100 charge per change, in addition to the costs required for the changes, if
any. Spelling corrections to clients’ names after air tickets have been issued are subject
to airline revision fees. Any costs resulting from such modifications shall be the
responsibility of the tour participants. If any trip has to be delayed due to bad weather,
travel conditions, flooding, flight or other transportation delays, overbooking, government
intervention, acts of war, acts of terrorism, sickness or any other contingency beyond the
control of Carnival Hunters, the additional costs of the delays and rerouting will not be
included and will be the responsibility of the tour participant. If, for reasons beyond our
control, a tour in progress must be interrupted or canceled, we will, in good faith,
consider refunding a portion of the price, depending on our actual costs incurred,
compared to the tour in your itinerary.
