I went into the same website and noticed that they do tell you but not until after you put in your personal information and ready to charge your credit card. This is such a deceptive ploy to get you to book. They also charge a $24.99 processing fee. If she booked it with me she would have saved money. She thought she was getting a bargain but instead got ripped off.
