Do I have to pay for the whole trip upfront?

No! There is a $200 deposit per person to hold your spot and the final payment is due October 21, 2024. Deposit is required at time of booking. This confirms your spot in the group, and you are considered a confirmed attending guest. Deposits are 100% non-refundable, non-transferrable and are required to hold space. If you are unable to attend the wedding you need to notify Romantic Planet Vacations immediately, so that we can remove you from the manifest, and open it up for another guest. Your deposit is non refundable, failure to advise us that you are unable to attend, will result in a cancellation penalty of 50% up to 100% of your total invoice.

Can I bring a Plus One?

If you are married or in a long term relationship and only one of you received our mobile invitation, your partner is definitely invited to the wedding as well as your children. Otherwise we ask that you reach out to us for any additional wedding plus ones as we are trying to keep our event limited to close friends and family.

Are Children Allowed?

Yes! We would love your kids to join us both at the resort and for our wedding. While the Iberostar in Montego Bay has an Adults Only hotel we will be staying in the Family Friendly side where there is childcare available at their Star Camp, a kids splash pool and nannies will also be available for $25USD/HR.

Is Jamaica Safe?

The Government of Canada recommends exercising a high degree of caution when traveling but Jamaica is pushing back against this ruling saying in a press release "the Government has more than doubled its investments to strengthen our capacity to tackle crime and health-related challenges across the island for the benefit of our citizens and indeed everyone who wishes to visit Jamaica,” That being said it is advised to stay on resorts and do guided tours and avoid traveling alone at night. We advise guests do their research if staying somewhere other then Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites or traveling off resort without a guide.

What is the Dress Code for the Wedding?

Sun, sand and surf! Aka Beach semi-formal to casual. Think khaki’s, linen and sundresses in tans, creams and even white is welcome (as long as you don’t try to outshine the bride 😉) so everyone can match… but don’t let us stop you from wearing whatever you feel best in. We just ask that you leave your Hawaiian prints in O’ahu! Look Book: https://pin.it/34zuzgJxa

I want to change my room occupancy

Changes to hotel room occupancy are considered a cancellation and rebooking by our hotel suppliers; therefore, pricing at the time of the occupancy change will apply to all occupants of the room and may incur an additional change fee of $150 per person. If an occupant in a room cancels, that person will be subject to cancellation fees at the time of their cancellation. An additional occupant to the room, if allowed by the tour operator, will be subject to system pricing at that time. In both cases, remaining room occupants will be subject to new pricing as follows: If the new price per person is lower, existing occupants will be refunded the difference less the change fee. If the new price per person is higher, existing occupants will have to pay the difference and the change fee will be waived.No changes are allowed at 30 days or less to departure

I have special requests for my room/hotel room info

You are guaranteed the room category for which you have booked and paid for however, sometimes hotels over-sell themselves. In this event, they will upgrade you complimentary to their next available room category. It is also very important to note that room requests such as king size beds, adjoining rooms and location of the room will be submitted to the hotel on your behalf but are NOT guaranteed. These are allocated by the hotel upon check-in. Any and all hotel-related issues MUST be addressed with hotel management directly at the time of their occurrence as most often Romantic Planet Vacations can not assist with resolving such matters after your return and after the occurrence and especially if you did not bring it to their attention at the time. They are best equipped to satisfy your needs while you are there.

Can I select my own seats for my flights?

There is an additional charge for seat selection and upgrades where available. Group space is allocated near the rear of the aircraft, assigned by the tour operator. It is not guaranteed that you are seated with who you are booked with. Please note, the airline reserves the right to adjust the seat numbers reserved in the case of an aircraft type change or routing change. Romantic Planet Vacations cannot be held liable for any changes made by the airline to seat numbers or seating arrangements made with advance seat selection.

What are the baggage allowances for Sunwing?
