Passengers traveling with a physical disability that may require special needs, attention or treatment must submit all special requirements in writing to GTA at the time of booking. It is the traveler's responsibility to verify that GTA has received the written request for special needs and/or requirements. The GTA invoice will reflect all agreed-upon requirements.

Notice To Passengers Traveling By Air Carrier - When air/common carrier are booked through the cruise line, the Travel Operators reserves the right to choose air carrier, routing and gateway city airport/terminal. The Travel Operators reserves the right to substitute charter carrier service without prior notice. Transportation tickets issued by the Travel Operators are highly restrictive. Fares used are based on "capacity controlled" criteria as well as contract, promotional, non-refundable or group fares. Therefore, you may find that your air carrier ticket cannot be reissued, revalidated or exchanged for another carrier or routing. Schedules cannot be changed once your tickets have been issued by the Travel Operators. Travelers booked in the same room or traveling with other passengers are not guaranteed to receive routing on the same flight or carrier schedules. It is the sole responsibility of the traveler to arrange his/her own seat assignments and to reconfirm his/her round-trip flight times forty-eight (48) hours prior to departure with the assigned carrier. GTA accepts no responsibility for arranging seat assignments, flight schedule changes, missed connections or problems that may result in the traveler missing the same and/or all of their itinerary.

A $50 per person charge shall be imposed for each air deviation over and above any air carrier, cruise line,or Travel Operators charge that may be imposed for said deviation. Deviation requests are at the sole discretion of the Travel Operators. Any requested deviation shall be at the sole risk of the traveler and traveler is also advised that when there is a deviation from the Travel Operators transportation, all transfers provided by the cruise line become null and void.

Passenger Protection Plan - Travel protection is strongly recommended. Insurance does not go into effect until the premium is paid in full to the insurance provider. Insurance cannot be purchased any later than at the time of final payment for the specified travel and if the premium payment is being made with the deposit, it must be in addition to the amount of deposit required by the Travel Operators. Note that most Travel Operators insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions.

Proof of Citizenship - When traveling within North America and the Caribbean, U.S. and Canadian citizens are required to provide an original passport. Voter's registration, birth certified and social security cards are not valid proof of citizenship. Resident Aliens require a Resident Alien (Green) Card. Citizens of all other countries are required to provide a valid passport with a multiple U.S. re-entry endorsement. For Travel Operators with any ports of call outside North America, all passengers must present a valid passport and should consult their consulate (for their country of citizenship e.g., the U. S. Consulate for U. S. citizens) concerning additional documentation or travel requirements for the countries you are visiting.

Payments - Most travel providers accept major credit cards; therefore GTA will accept credit card payments and forward them to the Travel Operators. Checks must be made payable to Gay Travel Association and be in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank. Payments made within 90 days of the sailing date must be made with a Cashier’s Check, Money Order, or direct wire transfer.
