Terms of Service

Welcome to Our "Terms"

The Golden Rule

Be cool. That's it. That's the main rule.

More specifically:

• Don't be the person who complains about the buffet line being too long
• Remember we're all veterans here - act like it
• If you wouldn't do it in the motor pool, don't do it on the cruise ship
• What happens on the cruise stays on the cruise (except for the really funny stories)
• No telling the cruise staff about the time you "totally could have been special forces"

Cruise Conduct

Ship Rules (That We Actually Mean):

• Follow the cruise line's rules - They're in charge of the boat, not us
• Don't fall overboard - We're transportation, not search and rescue
• Participate in group activities - But "mandatory fun" is still just a suggestion
• Be respectful to cruise staff - They didn't sign up to hear about "back in your day"
• Keep your cabin reasonably clean - This isn't the barracks, standards still apply

What We're NOT Responsible For

Look, we're organizing a reunion, not running a military operation. We're not responsible for:

• Sunburns (you're adults, use sunscreen)
• Seasickness (Dramamine is your friend)
• Embarrassing yourself at karaoke night
• Spending too much money at the ship's casino
• Getting lost in port because you didn't pay attention to the briefing
• That story your spouse tells about what you "really did" in the military
• Anyone claiming they were "basically special ops" because they drove important people once
• Arguments about which branch has the best chow hall (we all know it was the Navy)

Payment & Refunds

Real Talk About Money:

• Pay your bills on time (just like you did for the commissary)
• Cancellation policies follow cruise line rules (we didn't make them up)
• Travel insurance is recommended (seriously, get it)
• We're not a bank - don't ask us for loans
• Group rates are subject to enough people actually showing up
• If you cancel because "your spouse said no," that's between you and your spouse

Photos & Social Media

Picture Perfect Rules:

• Group photos are fair game for the website and social media
• Don't post photos of people who clearly don't want to be photographed
• No posting pictures of anyone doing anything they'll regret later
• Tag people appropriately (not everyone wants to be "that guy from the motor pool")
• Use common sense about what goes on the internet
• Remember: your kids/grandkids will probably see these photos someday

Dispute Resolution

If There's a Problem:

1. Talk to us first (like adults)
2. We'll try to work it out (also like adults)
3. If that doesn't work, mediation (fancy adult conversation with a referee)
4. Arbitration (really fancy adult conversation with a judge-like person)
5. If all else fails, we'll settle it with a push-up contest (kidding... mostly)

Disputes will be handled in the jurisdiction of wherever the organizers happen to live, because we're not flying anywhere for a legal meeting.

The Fine Print

Boring Legal Stuff (But Important):

• These terms can change (we'll let you know if they do)
• If part of these terms is invalid, the rest still counts
• This agreement is between you and us, not the cruise line
• We're not lawyers, and this isn't legal advice
• When in doubt, use common sense and military bearing
