That Cruise Fee will not change, unless a fuel supplement is charged by Holland America 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.
7. RATES AFTER GROUP BLOCK EXPIRES: When the Cruise Organizers no longer have a group block of staterooms, they will reserve staterooms based on current cruise inventory and rates at the time of registration.

If the category request is available with applicable pricing, Cruise Participant's registration will be processed.
8. ROOMMATE MATCHING PROGRAM: If any
Cruise Participant wants to pay for the Cruise at the
shared-stateroom rate, yet does not have a specific roommate, the
Cruise Participant may request for the Cruise Organizers to attempt
to match that Cruise Participant with a roommate. However, the
Cruise Organizers cannot guarantee that a roommate will be found.
The Cruise Participant's credit card will not be charged until a
roommate has been found. If no roommate is found, then the Cruise
Participant will be given the option to register for a single room.
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
