CruisePorts.co is operated by Ellie in Wisconsin, United States. This page explains how the site earns money, how commercial relationships are disclosed, and the limits of its travel information.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on CruisePorts.co are affiliate links. If you click or make a qualifying purchase or booking through one of those links, CruisePorts.co may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
When a page contains affiliate recommendations, CruisePorts.co aims to place a clear disclosure near the relevant content or before the first affiliate link. A link may still be useful even when it is not an affiliate link. Affiliate compensation does not determine whether a destination, hotel, tour, product, or service is included or what is said about it.
Amazon Associates
When CruisePorts.co participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, the following applies: As an Amazon Associate, CruisePorts.co earns from qualifying purchases. If that participation ends, this section will be removed.
Sponsored and Complimentary Experiences
If CruisePorts.co receives payment, a complimentary stay, tour, cruise, admission, product, discount, press trip, or another material benefit connected with coverage, that relationship will be disclosed clearly on the affected content. Compensation or complimentary access does not guarantee favorable coverage.
How Recommendations Are Made
Recommendations may be based on Ellie’s first-hand experience, independent research, official sources, or a combination of those methods. CruisePorts.co does not claim personal experience when a recommendation is based only on research. Editorial standards and correction practices are described in the Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy.
Advertising
The Site may display advertising. Ads and advertiser-provided material are separate from editorial decisions. The presence of an advertisement does not constitute a personal endorsement by Ellie.
Travel Information Disclaimer
CruisePorts.co provides general travel information and personal editorial opinions, not professional advice. Cruise calls, terminal assignments, schedules, fares, visa and entry rules, safety conditions, accessibility, weather, business hours, prices, and availability can change without notice.
Verify consequential information with the cruise line, port authority, government agency, transit operator, hotel, tour company, or other responsible official source before traveling or purchasing. Travelers are responsible for evaluating whether an activity, route, destination, product, or service is appropriate for their circumstances.
Third-Party Services
CruisePorts.co does not control third-party websites, booking platforms, hotels, tours, cruise lines, transportation providers, or retailers. Their terms, prices, cancellation policies, availability, service, safety practices, and privacy policies apply to your interaction with them. A link does not guarantee or warrant a third party’s performance.
No Guaranteed Results
Travel experiences vary. CruisePorts.co does not guarantee that another traveler will have the same experience, achieve a particular result, or find information unchanged at the time of travel.
