I usually take one of the resort packages. she likes that idea. but I've never had to cancel a trip, so I don't know how to answer her question.
how far in advance do yu have to cancel in order to get your money back?
Here is the official cancellation policy from the DTA website.
CANCELLATION AND CHANGE FEES
For a cancellation made 44 to 6 days prior to arrival, there is a cancellation fee of $100 per package plus any cancellation fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers.
For a cancellation made 5 days or less prior to arrival, there is a cancellation fee of $200 per package plus any cancellation fees by hotels or other suppliers. No refunds will be given to no-shows.
For a change made 44 days or less prior to arrival or that results in a rate change, there is a change fee of $50 per package plus any change fees assessed by hotels or other suppliers.
For changes, the change fees must be paid in addition to any increase in rate resulting from the change.
In addition:
If your air travel has been ticketed, there will be an additional cancellation or change fee per ticket equal to the higher of (i) $75 and (ii) the cancellation or change fee assessed by the airline; provided, however, that cancellation of a published, promotional or other nonrefundable airfare results in a charge equal to the entire amount of the airfare.
Travel insurance is nonrefundable once deposit has been received. Upon any cancellation, the charge for travel insurance will be added to the other applicable cancellation fees.
