For any special request, the additional charge will be computed on the day of your request and at the time of your payment for the said changes.  We cannot guarantee accommodation or transportation for persons who wish to be added on your travel booking once initial confirmation has been made. Kindly note that change of name may be considered as cancellation by cruise and airline companies hence cancellation charges may be imposed.  Should you plan to reduce the number of persons booked on your travel arrangements, this could mean changes in the price payable for the remaining persons in your party. We may also ask you to pay a 100% fee for any re-scheduled or cancellation changes that are requested after your booking confirmation. In the event where the booking is confirmed as per your request, any subsequent rescheduling or cancellation due to your own change of travel plan must be made in writing to DMT and we may ask you to pay 100% of the total fees.
