Double occupancy means that you'll be sharing a room with another individual. Depending on the trip location and property, you may either be placed in a room with two beds or one king-size bed. You will have the opportunity to learn more about other trip attendees before traveling, which you will then be placed in a room with. If you're traveling with a friend or family member, please do let us know on the form so that we may automatically pair you.
You will be paired with someone of the same gender if you've signed up as someone joining the trip alone. You will have the opportunity to get to know all group members before the trip, which will help in room pairing. If you sign up and note that you are joining with someone of the opposite or same sex, you will automatically be roomed together unless communicated otherwise.
Certain trip packages will mention the ability to be placed in a single room for an extra cost. However, not all trip packages may offer this option. Single rooms may either be limited or available to all attendees, depending on the property. You will have the ability to automatically opt for a single room upon filling a trip confirmation form, after reserving your spot. Availability of single room is first come, first served.
When you choose single occupancy, you'll be provided your own private room and bathroom -- basically your own space throughout the trip. In order to reserve the room, you have to pay the additional charge alongside each monthly payment. Single occupancy is provided with either double-bed, extra-double bed, queen bed or king-size bed.
Single Occupancy room payment may either be a one-time payment, which is generally not included in general monthly trip payments/ personalized payment plan. OR the single room payment will be spread throughout each trip payment (eligible w/ 2024 trips and beyond)
