If we make a major change, we will offer you a choice of the following options: (1) accept the changed arrangements, or(2) accept substitute arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or (3) cancel your reservation and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us for it. You must tell us which of the above choices you wish to make within 72 hours of being informed of the major change we are making. If we do not receive notification from you about your choice within 72 hours, you are deemed to have accepted the option offered.
