How this site makes money

One way. When you call (833) 616-1374 and go on to book a cruise, we are paid a commission by the cruise line or travel provider that issues the booking. It does not change the price you pay.

So we are not a neutral party. We research cruises and we are paid when you book one, and you should read everything here with that in mind. The right test is not whether we call ourselves impartial, it is whether the numbers we publish hold up when you check them against the cruise line's own site.

What we do not do

• We carry no advertising. There are no display ads, ad network tags or retargeting pixels on this site.
• We run no affiliate links. Nothing here is an outbound paid link. If that ever changes, those links will carry a sponsored attribute and this page will say so first.
• We publish no sponsored reviews, paid placements or advertorial. Nobody pays us to appear, to rank higher or to be covered favourably.
• We do not sell reader data. See the privacy policy.

How the phone line works

Calling (833) 616-1374 connects you to a cruise specialist who can help you choose and price a sailing. Any reservation that follows is issued by the cruise line or travel provider under their terms, cancellation policy and payment conditions. Read those before you pay anything, and take questions about an existing booking to whoever issued it.

The commission does not come out of your fare. It is paid by the provider out of theirs, at a rate we do not set and which varies by line.

How to hold us to it

Every fare on this site is dated and labelled as a lead-in price for a stated cabin grade and occupancy, so you can check it against the source. The scoring method is published in the editorial policy and applied identically to every line. If you find a number that is wrong, tell us: we will correct it and record that we did.
