ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE! NO EXCEPTIONS! Due to the unique nature of our event, the UberAfro Cruise is non-refundable. There are NO exceptions to our cancellation policies. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance. We must receive written notice of your cancellation either via certified mail, overnight courier, or e-mail sent to teamafro@uberafrocruise.com. If a flight or other delay for any reason prevents you from joining the cruise by the boarding time on the departure date, you will be considered a no-show, and no refund or credit is applicable towards a future cruise. Please note that your decision not to travel due to State Department advisories or fear of travel will constitute a cancellation by you. No refund or credit will be given for any unused features or early departures for any reason. There will be no refunds given for those who do not board the ship on time, unused tickets, or after the UberAfro Cruise has occurred. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information on our cancellation policy.
As a courtesy, UAC offers guests within the same reservation the ability to split the cost between guests, and additionally offers subsequent monthly payment plans depending on when the reservation was created. If a guest (with payment responsibility within the reservation) cancels, regardless of the reason, that guest will be responsible for covering their entire balance at the time of cancellation. If that guest refuses to pay their outstanding balance, it then falls on the Primary to pay for the entire balance, alternatively, to reach an amicable plan with the remaining members of the cabin to cover the canceled guest’s portion either in full, or split the balance owed into monthly payments for the remaining members of the group.
If you or any of the guests within a reservation can find a replacement for the person canceling, we can honor a name change subject to a $250 name change fee depending on when the request is made. Once the new guest is added, they will take over the payment responsibility from the previous guest and pick up where they left off, however, UAC will not refund any previously paid portions to any guests regardless of the reason.
As a primary, if you are in a double occupancy room and your cabin mate cancels, they will be asked to pay their remaining balance or find a replacement at which time either party will cover the ‘name change fee’ of US$250. In the event that this guest refuses to pay off their balance, or find a replacement, the responsibility falls on the primary to find the replacement, pay the US$250 “name change fee,” or pay the double occupancy rate and remain in the room as a single occupant.
Please note that, as per the Terms and Conditions, Primaries cannot cancel out of the stateroom.
Yes! It is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance to protect yourself against financial loss due to non-refundable costs and fees due to unexpected cancellations and travel emergencies. For your convenience, you will be presented with your Travel Insurance options after you’ve booked your cabin.

UberAfro Cruise strongly recommends that all of our guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel).

U.S. Alien Residents need a valid Alien Resident Card. Non-U.S. citizens need a valid passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable.
Non-U.S. Citizens: You will need a valid passport and, in some cases, a visa. If you live in the U.S., you will also need the original copy of your Alien Registration Card (ARC or “Green Card”) and any other documentation the countries on your itinerary require due to your alien status.
If you are not a U.S. Citizen, please contact U.S. Immigration at 1-800-375-5283 to be sure your identification will be satisfactory for both entry into the U.S., and for the cruise. Citizens from the Visa Waiver Program countries will require a machine-readable passport valid for the duration of their voyage.
All guests must present the required documentation at embarkation. Guests without the required documentation will be denied boarding and no refund will be issued. Please understand that RCI will strictly enforce this requirement to be in compliance with this important U.S. Government mandate.
UberAfro Cruise and the other Released Parties (as herein defined) assume no responsibility for advising you of immigration requirements. Non-U.S. citizens, including resident aliens, must contact the appropriate consulates, embassies and/or immigration office(s) to inquire about necessary documentation for the Cruise’s ports of call. Your name, as listed on your travel documents, must exactly match your name as listed on your Cruise documents.
It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you have the proper, valid documents to board the ship. UberAfro Cruise is not responsible for denied boarding due to insufficient documents.
1. To make sure the cruise line has your booking information correct, and that your name is spelled exactly as it appears on your legal documentation (legal first and last names only; middle names are not needed). If your name is not spelled correctly, you could be denied boarding without refund! UberaAfro cruise is not responsible if you are denied boarding. Please contact us immediately with any name corrections.
2. To print your boarding pass and e-documents. You need to present this upon check-in at the pier. Your UberAfro Cruise Invoice is NOT your ticket for boarding.
3. To expedite check-in. Completion of the required information in advance greatly expedites check-in at the port. The faster you can get through check-in, the sooner your UberAfro Cruise experience can begin!
We get several requests for roommates. If you need a roommate, please email us at at teamafro@uberafrocruise.com and we will do out best to accommodate you.
*Room Share options are very limited and subject to availability. We will do our best to pair you with someone of similar age, gender and cabin selection, however requests are not guaranteed.
*Your decision to accept a roommate for the UberAfro Cruise is at your own risk. UberAfro Cruise is not responsible nor liable for any and all claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with your selection of a roommate for the Cruise, including, without limitation, any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from such request or selection.
The following rules and stipulations must be agreed upon by all parties:
1) Roommate Assignments
a) Roommate match will be made approximately one (1) week before the scheduled final payment due date October 1, 2023. An email will be sent to all roommate match guests providing contact details for their assigned roommates and their final stateroom assignments. In the event of special circumstances with the ship, such as a sell-out, this email may be sent earlier and will designate the revised date of matching and cancellation penalties.
b) Since a match cannot be guaranteed, if UberAfro Cruise is unable to find a roommate match by the final payment due date, the guest irrevocably agrees to take a single cabin with the additional collection of the single occupancy rate with the understanding that if a roommate match can be made prior to sailing, your fare will be adjusted back to the double occupancy rate and a refund will be processed accordingly.
2) Roommate Cancellation & Responsibility
a) If a guest has been matched with a roommate who subsequently cancels the cruise or wishes to withdraw from the roommate match program, the additional charge for the full single occupancy rate for the remaining roommate will be paid by the person that cancelled or withdrew.
b) Efforts will be made to find a replacement roommate; however, this cannot be guaranteed. If a replacement roommate is found, the cancelling party may still be responsible for any penalties or fees assessed such as name change fees, etc.
c) The intent of this policy is to protect the non-cancelling roommate of any supplemental charges.
The Roommate Match Terms and Conditions shall be read with the UberAfro Cruise Participant’s Agreement (Terms & Conditions) to which you irrevocably agree to be binding on you (the passenger).
