Motorcoach Travel:  Breaks are given throughout each day every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. You will have the same seat all day and then the next day you will take a different seat that you will have all day. If in the front the first day, the next day move to the middle, and then the next day to the back. From the back, move up to the front and so on. Please do not sit in the front the entire time. If you want to sit in the back the entire time, you may stay there with no rotation. No smoking allowed.

​

Luggage Handling: It is your responsibility to handle your own luggage at airport and motorcoach check-ins. On shorter trips bring smaller bags to travel from the coach to your room. On longer tours, baggage handling is included at hotels that are large enough to provide this service. If not, you will be responsible for carrying your luggage to your room. For cruises, baggage handling is always included from the port to your cabin. if you would like to bring a SMALL carry on bag into the coach or plane, make sure it fits under the seat in front of you. Please call Jeanie's Journeys for information if you need to bring a CPAP machine along to let us know.

​

Single Travelers: We have many single travelers that like and choose to travel alone with the luxury of having their own hotel room.  Single occupancy pricing is higher because you are choosing not to have a roommate to share the cost of the hotel rooms. Single occupancy pricing does not guarantee that you will not have to sit by someone on the motorcoach.  

​

Single Travelers Looking for Roommates: We will try to assist you in arranging a roommate for any person wishing to share accommodation at the double occupancy tour rate. Just write "Looking for a Roommate" under the roommate sign in line and we will assist you in finding one and helping you to connect with each other. Jeanie's Journeys shall not be held liable should the arrangement fail.  Should a shared arrangement not be available, the single rate will apply.

​

Roommate Cancellation: If you are booked as a “double” and your roommate cancels their reservation, and you cannot find another roommate, and wish to still travel, you will need to pay the single supplement without insurance. With insurance, you will retain the single room at the double rate. Without insurance, you must pay the additional single rate charge.

​

Airline Frequent Flyer Programs: If you are a member of an airline frequent flyer program and would like that number added to your reservation, please add the number to your reservation. Please keep your ticket receipt until you have confirmation of credited mileage from airlines.

 

Baggage Responsibility: At Jeanie's Journeys we make every effort to handle your luggage with care, yet we cannot be responsible for loss or damage to luggage due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline, or tour handling.  It is also the responsibility of every passenger to make sure they do not leave anything on the coach at the end of a tour.  If you leave something on the coach, airplane, cruise ship or at any accommodations, it will be the individual’s responsibility to assume any cost to attain belongings.
