Privacy Policy: View our Privacy Policy

4. What We Do

The Site provides travel-related content (including cruise tips, packing information, tools, and commentary) and may offer travel planning assistance through inquiry forms, email, or linked booking portals.

No guarantee of outcomes: Content and planning assistance are informational and do not guarantee pricing, availability, experiences, or results.

5. Third-Party Suppliers & Links

The Site may link to third-party websites and services (for example: booking portals, tour operators, shore excursion marketplaces, merchandise stores, and social platforms). These third parties operate independently from us.

  • Supplier responsibility: Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, tour operators, and other suppliers are responsible for their services and for handling changes, delays, cancellations, and service failures.
  • Third-party terms apply: When you book, purchase, or interact with a third party, you are also agreeing to that third party’s terms and policies.
  • No control over third parties: We do not control third-party content, availability, pricing, security practices, or performance.

6. Affiliate Links, Sponsorships & Disclosures

Some links on the Site and in our content may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link or make a purchase. The price you pay is typically the same whether you use an affiliate link or not.

We may also receive free products, discounts, or other benefits from brands. When required, we will disclose material connections in content where the endorsement appears.

7. Email & Communications

If you subscribe, request a free download, submit a form, or contact us, you may receive emails related to your request (and, if you opted in, occasional updates).

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link (when provided) or by contacting us.

8. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, analyze traffic, and support marketing/advertising (including remarketing).

You may be able to manage cookie preferences through our cookie banner or your browser settings. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy.

9. Purchases & Digital Products

The Site may offer digital products (for example, downloadable guides, planners, journals, or templates) and may also link to products sold by third parties.

9.1 Digital Product License

Unless stated otherwise at checkout, digital products are licensed (not sold) to you for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, resell, share, or publicly post the files.

9.2 Delivery

Digital products are typically delivered electronically (for example, via download link, email, or account access). You are responsible for providing an accurate email address and maintaining access to your email/account.

9.3 Refunds and Returns

Digital products: Because digital products are delivered instantly and cannot be returned in the traditional sense, all sales are final once access is delivered, unless otherwise required by law or explicitly stated on the product page.

If you experience a technical issue accessing a digital product, contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to help you access what you purchased.

9.4 Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors. Your payment is subject to the processor’s terms and privacy practices.

  • Passport, visa, ID, and documentation requirements
  • Vaccination/health requirements and advisories
  • Entry rules, customs, prohibited items, and local laws

Travel insurance: We may recommend travel insurance, but we do not provide insurance coverage ourselves. Any insurance is subject to the insurer’s terms and eligibility requirements.
