Cost
The price of this trip could vary depending on the actual cost once the various activities are paid for. These prices are based off of the most accurate price quotes as of December 2019 for a quad occupancy hotel room. These prices are also based off of current airfare pricing, which cannot be booked until closer to the date. Be sure to check Cut Time to ensure charges/payments are accurate and up to date!
Late Payment Fees
Though we do our best to be flexible with payments, we have payment deadlines that must be met with our travel agency. That being said, it is very important that all dancer and chaperone trip payments are submitted on time. We will allow for a three day grace period after the payment due date to submit the payment with no penalty. If a payment is not submitted by the end of the third day of this grace period, the payment is considered late. A late fee of $10.00 per day PER PAYMENT will be charged, for a maximum of five days ($50.00).
