CANCELLATION POLICY
Activity may be canceled due to below minimum passenger count, or at captain’s discretion due to weather conditions including heavy rain, high winds, or lightning. As safety is our top priority, weather cancellations are made on a cruise by cruise basis up to time of departure. In the rare situation the seller must cancel the event prior to departure, ticket-holders will be allowed to reschedule tickets (subject to availability), receive a gift card, or receive a full refund (including trip protection).
If an activity is cut short early due to severe weather, rainchecks will be given to all guests. Full refunds are not available after the cruise leaves the dock, but rainchecks do not expire.
REFUND AND RESCHEDULING POLICY
All sales are final, unless trip protection is purchased up front. No refunds, reissue to gift cards, or rescheduling will be permitted without trip protection.
TRIP PROTECTION POLICY
Trip Protection must be added at the time of purchase. Trip Protection allows for rescheduling (subject to availability) or refunds of tickets 60 minutes prior to departure time, for any reason.Refunds will reimburse for the full amount of each ticket, less the Trip Protection fees.
Trip Protection is voided and no refunds will be issued if (1) guest(s) arrive and check into the cruise, (2) guest(s) do not cancel at least 60 minutes prior to the departure time, or (3) guest(s) no show without notification.
CRUISE CANCELLATION POLICY
Activity may be canceled due to severe weather or minimum passenger count. In either scenario, you will be notified.
Activity usually runs in rain and moderate weather, but the seller may cancel the activity in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. If there is just a light rain, we are still able to run, subject to the captain’s discretion. If there is thunder or lightning, we will not run. If the captain makes the decision to cancel the cruise due to weather before the boat leaves the dock, we will notify all guests with reservations. Weather cancellations are made on a cruise by cruise basis, and may be determined close to cruise time, even up to the time of departure. However, we will make every effort to make a determination at least an hour before cruising. In the rare situation the seller must cancel the event prior to departure, ticket-holders will be allowed to reschedule tickets (subject to availability), receive a gift card, or receive a full refund. “Full refund” will include Trip Protection if it was purchased, but additional processing fees will not be refunded.
In the event of inclement weather after departing, a full refund will not be available after the boat departs the dock. Only rainchecks or standby tickets will be given. Standby tickets never expire. Standby tickets for canceled cruises will be automatically applied to your account and you can check in at either kiosk with your name or number and the date of your original cruise to redeem them.
If you do not see dolphins on a dolphin cruise you will be issued a raincheck or standby ticket.
STANDBY TICKETS
In the event Standby Tickets are issued on a cruise for any reason, all Terms and Conditions for Standby Ticket holders apply and no refunds will be issued.
A standby ticket may be issued at the discretion of SSBP. It may be used for an equivalent or less expensive cruise; an upgrade fee is charged for a standby ticket booking a more expensive cruise.
At 5 minutes prior to departure, any passengers who have not checked in may have their tickets released to standby guests. SSBP will try to reach out to guests to determine if they are able to make the cruise before releasing tickets to standby passengers.
