Watch out

  • Cancellations must be telephoned to the Reservations Department, so an agent cannot cancel by form or email.
  • The Guest Experience form may need sign-in (the page showed a Logout link) and asks you to certify travel insurance status.
  • The contact page's "Speak With A Consultant" chat link is a placeholder; no working chat link was found.
