Frequently Asked Questions

Couples 50+ who love to travel and enjoy good company. You don't need to know anyone. That's the point!

Just 4 couples, plus Donna & Cordell as your hosts. Cruises are the exception: they have no group limit.

Never. Every couple has their own private room or cabin.

It depends on the trip. Each trip page lists exactly what's included, like your stay, group dinners and experiences. Flights are not included, so you book your own and send us your flight details.

Unless the trip page says otherwise, these are not included:

• Airfare, airline taxes and baggage fees
• Transportation between the airport and your hotel or cruise ship
• Travel insurance
• Passport and visa fees
• Meals, drinks and activities not listed in the itinerary
• Tips and personal expenses

Our trips move at a comfortable pace. Expect about 2–3 miles of walking a day on U.S. trips and up to 7–10 miles a day on international trips, often on stairs, hills or cobblestone streets. Each trip page notes anything more active, and those activities are always optional.

If you have mobility concerns, reach out before booking, and we'll help you decide if a trip is a good fit.

Yes. All itineraries are tentative and subject to change, sometimes without notice, because of things like weather, supplier changes, local events or safety concerns. We'll do our best to let you know about significant changes and to provide comparable lodging, meals or activities whenever possible. Itinerary changes don't qualify for a refund.

We'll do our best. Send us any dietary needs or food allergies in writing by your final payment date, and we'll share them with our hotels and restaurants. We can't guarantee every request can be met.

Yes! Our hosts love capturing the memories, and we may share some photos on our website and social media. If you'd prefer not to appear, just let us know in writing before your final payment date. We'll do our best not to share any photos of you, and we kindly ask that you step out of group photos so we can share them with everyone else.

Pay your deposit through our secure booking page on WeTravel. Your spot is confirmed once we receive your deposit and send you a written confirmation.

Yes. After your deposit, you can pay in installments through WeTravel, or pay in full anytime. Final payment is due 90 days before departure.

Yes. If you choose a payment plan, your installments are charged automatically to your card on the dates shown in your WeTravel booking. You'll get a reminder before each payment and a receipt after. You can update your card anytime in your WeTravel account.

Yes. Most couples book together under one reservation. Please make sure your partner has read our Travel Policies, since they apply to everyone on the reservation. The person who books is responsible for all payments.

Reservations are non-transferable. Replacing one traveler with another counts as a cancellation and a new booking.

After you book, please complete these short forms by your final payment due date:

• Flight Details: your arrival and departure flights, so we know when to expect you
• Emergency Contact: someone we can reach if something happens while you're traveling

If you ever need to cancel, use our Trip Cancellation Request form.

We'll email your trip documents about 2–4 weeks before departure. They include your final itinerary, confirmations and everything you need for the trip.

It's free and easy. Just click the button below to sign up. You'll be the first to hear about new trips, with dates and pricing, before they're announced to the public.

All payments, including your deposit, are non-refundable. Every traveler agrees to our Travel Policies before their reservation is confirmed.

Canceling doesn't qualify you for a refund. It lets us know you won't be traveling so we can release your spot. To cancel, complete our Trip Cancellation Request form. If you can't use the form, email admin@funkyfreshtravel.com with your full name, trip name, travel dates and reason for canceling. If you don't hear back within 48 hours, text or WhatsApp us at 760-925-1200.

We highly recommend travel insurance, especially if losing the cost of your trip would be a hardship.

In rare cases, we may need to cancel a trip due to unforeseen circumstances, up until the departure date. If we cancel, you'll receive a full refund of all payments made to us. We aren't responsible for airline penalties or other bookings you made on your own.

We strongly recommend it. Travel insurance can help if you have to cancel, need medical care while you're away, or your flights or luggage are delayed or lost. Many U.S. health plans, including Medicare, don't cover you outside the country.

Our Travel Insurance page explains what to look for, why "Cancel For Any Reason" coverage is worth considering, and where to compare plans.

• International trips: a passport that won't expire for at least 6 months after your trip ends. For example, if you come home on June 1, your passport should be good until at least December 1.
• Cruises: we highly recommend a passport, even when it's not required. If you ever need to fly home from another country, you'll need one.
• U.S. trips with flights, like Niagara Falls (US side): a REAL ID (look for the star on your license) or a passport to get through airport security.

Airport transfers aren't included unless the trip page says so. You're responsible for getting to and from the airport, hotel or cruise port.

Please send us your flight details by your final payment due date, and let us know if anything changes. When you book your flights, leave plenty of time to get off the plane, collect your luggage and settle in before the trip begins.

If we do offer a group transfer on a trip, it runs on a set schedule, and we can't hold the group for late arrivals. If you miss it or choose other transportation, the cost is yours and isn't reimbursed.

If your flight is delayed, text or WhatsApp us at 760-925-1200 as soon as you can with your new arrival time.

Tips for guides, drivers and service staff aren't included unless the trip page says so. Tipping is always your choice and should reflect the service you receive. Customs vary by country, so we'll include tips for each destination in your trip documents. As a general guide, per person:

• Tour guides: $10–20 per full day, or $5–10 for a half-day tour
• Drivers: $5–10 per full day; $2–5 for an airport or hotel transfer
• Hotel housekeeping: $3–5 per night
• Porters and bellhops: $1–2 per bag
• Restaurants: 15–20% in the U.S.; abroad, check whether a service charge is already included
• Cruises: most cruise lines add daily gratuities to your onboard account automatically, so check before tipping extra
