Changes will not result in a refund of any portion of the Cruise Fee.

Quoted rates are only valid for period specified, and are subject to change anytime. When the Cruise Participant's credit or debit card is charged for the reservation fee and the Cruise Participant is booked on the Cruise Sailing, that is when the Cruise Fee is fixed. That Cruise Fee will not change, unless a fuel supplement is charged by Paul Gauguin Cruise Line. However, the Cruise Organizers reserve the right to offer and publish different rates for other potential Cruise Participants (higher or lower) prior to the Cruise. No refunds will be granted for changes in rates.

Anyone who registers for the Cruise under the Roommate Matching Program must pay the full retail rate quoted on the Cruise Registration Form at the time the roommate match is found, and that entire fee is nonrefundable. If the Cruise Organizers match the Cruise Participant with a roommate whom the Cruise Participant deems unsuitable and therefore wants to switch rooms, then (if a room is available) the Cruise Participant must pay for the single-stateroom supplement for him/herself and also for the unsuitable roommate.
