MAKING THE DEPOSIT
The Center has web addresses and/or phone numbers for six travel insurance
companies.
REGISTRATION: Register
at the Center. Trips fill quickly and have firm deadlines, so don’t
delay. If everybody waits ‘til the last minute the trip will end up
being canceled! When we receive your deposit or registration fee, you will
receive a detailed trip itinerary.
CANCELLATION BY
PASSENGER: If the trip is through an outside tour group and because
we have to pay for the trip in advance, we can not give refunds if you should
have to cancel. It is strongly recommended that when booking extended trips,
in most cases, you should secure trip insurance for your own peace of mind.
If the trip is solely arranged by the Senior Center a
full refund will be issued
ONLY IF A REPLACEMENT IS FOUND. Replacements may be made from the Center’s
waiting list, if there is one. If there is no one on the waiting list the
passenger is responsible for finding a replacement. The Center does not
guarantee a replacement will be found.
CANCELLATION BY
CENTER: A full
refund will be issued.
The charter trips listed
below are open to the public of all ages. If you have interests regarding a trip
not listed, please contact Terri Riffle at the Center. Call the Center at
360-629-7403 for more information or reservations.
TIPPING: On motor
coach trips a tip will be collected for the driver. The
going rate is $4 to $10 dollars depending on length of trip and, of course,
service. You are
responsible for tipping at restaurants when eating on your own. On
extended trips, other
tips will be specified by trip.
DEPOSITS/FINAL PAYMENTS:
For one day trips full payment is due at time of registration.
Extended trips will have the payment schedule listed at the end of the tour
description, if we are using a tour company their policies will apply to
deposit, final payments and refunds, etc. Generally there is a deposit due
at time of registration and a deadline for payment in full.
Refunds are generally based on a decreasing percentage of the
cost of the trip based
on how far ahead of departure date the trip is canceled. We accept VISA and Mastercard.
PARKING: On day trips
please park away from the front of the building, have consideration for the
folks that will be coming and going for meals and classes, and who may be less
agile than you. Be aware that if you leave your vehicle overnight
the Center
can not be responsible.
Please make arrangements for your vehicle to be moved or for someone to bring
you to the Center.
