This is the 3rd Flamingo Fanatics Fling, "Let's Cruise" Flockers!
This year we are headed on a Nine (9) day cruise. We will leave Ft Lauderdale on Mach 8,2024, returning on March 17th. 2024.
We are planning to have 150 guests attending this event.
As of right now, I don't have all the details about what is included other than the standard cruise package. I will be confirming this soon.
Cancellation Policy
Deposits are non-refundable. It is highly recommended that each passenger purchases.
Travel insurance. This will cover your deposit, flights, cruise costs, and other items.
We will work with you, but the cruise line controls everything. Once you receive a confirmation from Holland American, they have your money, which is out of our hands.
There is a big difference between Travel Insurance and Cruise Line Cancellation Protection Insurance. Travel Insurance covers far more than Cancellation Protection.
There is no refund for No-Shows or early departures.

Travelers Insurance.
Why do I need travel insurance?
Because sometimes...
You have to cancel a trip last minute.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for your pre-paid, non-refundable trip costs — including vacation rentals, car rentals, hotels, and flights — if you have to cancel for a covered reason.
Travel delays leave you stranded.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for eligible meals, accommodation, and transportation expenses during a covered delay.
You get sick or hurt when you're far from home.
Travel insurance can reimburse you for care following a covered medical emergency while traveling. We can even arrange and pay for a medical evacuation if needed.
Fender-benders are unavoidable.
Renting a car means taking on a big financial risk; even a tiny scrape can cost you hundreds. Low-priced rental car insurance lets you drive worry-free.
You need help in a hurry.
Whether you're planning a week-long road trip or a weekend getaway, you never know what might happen. Travel insurance gives you access to our 24-Hour Assistance hotline for expert, personalized support in a crisis.
A travel Insurance quote will be provided to you. If you choose not to purchase insurance, you must sign a waiver.
Payment Option
Non-refundable deposits are required at the time of booking. We have kept the deposits low to cover administrative fees and essential costs.
Payment plans have been set up depending on when you make your reservations. This will determine your payment schedule.
All bookings must be paid in full by November 8th, 2023
Vaccine Requirements
As we are all aware, this can change at any time. As of 1/1/23, Holland American has not posted the requirements for our sailing.
Guests are highly recommended to be fully vaccinated and boosted (if eligible) at sailing time.
Even though the cruise line may not require you to be fully vaccinated, it is very possible that one of the ports we are headed to does.
