Fee Policy

Personalized Vacation Planning

At Barefoot and Booked, I believe planning your trip should feel as relaxing as the vacation itself. Every booking starts with personalized service built around your preferences, budget, and travel style.

To keep things simple and transparent, I use a flat planning fee structure that reflects the time, care, and expertise that goes into making your trip seamless.

Planning Packages

Basic Planning – $75
Perfect for travelers who already know what kind of cruise or resort they want but prefer to have the details handled by a professional.
Includes:

  • Cruise or resort research and quote comparison

  • Booking and confirmation management

  • Payment tracking and reminders

  • Pre-travel guidance and checklist

Fee is per booking, not per traveler.

Custom Planning – $150
For travelers who want a fully tailored, start-to-finish experience.
Includes everything in the Basic Plan, plus:

  • Complex or multi-destination itineraries

  • Airfare and transfer coordination

  • Excursion and insurance recommendations

  • Dining, entertainment, and onboard planning

  • Ongoing itinerary updates and support through travel

Ideal for families, groups, or detailed itineraries.

Additional Service Fees

Some specialized services require additional time and coordination:

  • Group Planning Fee (8+ travelers): $125 per group — covers communication and logistics across multiple cabins or parties.

  • Airfare-Only Booking Fee: $50 per traveler — applies when booking standalone air travel not connected to a cruise or vacation package.

  • Itinerary Change Fee: $35 per change — applies when major revisions are requested after an initial quote or booking (such as changing cruise lines, sail dates, or destinations).

Payment Terms

All planning and service fees are due prior to service. Fees are non-refundable once work begins and can be paid securely via electronic invoice.

If your trip is booked through Barefoot and Booked, your planning fee helps ensure you receive the best value — not just the best price.

Fee Waivers

Fees may be waived at the discretion of Barefoot and Booked based on the complexity of the request, client loyalty, or repeat business. I strive to be fair and flexible and always want to make your planning experience smooth and enjoyable.
