These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of CruisePorts.co (the “Site”), operated by Ellie in Wisconsin, United States (“CruisePorts.co,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Informational Travel Content
The Site provides general travel information and personal editorial opinions. Content is not legal, medical, financial, immigration, safety, accessibility, or other professional advice. Cruise schedules, terminal assignments, entry rules, fares, operating hours, accessibility conditions, weather, safety conditions, and availability can change without notice. Confirm important information with the relevant port, cruise line, government agency, operator, property, or other official source before acting or traveling.
No Booking or Agency Relationship
Unless expressly stated otherwise, CruisePorts.co is not a cruise line, port authority, travel agency, tour operator, hotel, transportation provider, insurer, or booking service. Third-party purchases and reservations are agreements between you and the third party. Their prices, terms, cancellation rules, availability, and privacy practices apply.
Affiliate Links, Advertising, and Sponsored Content
The Site may contain affiliate links, advertising, sponsored content, or references to complimentary travel or products. CruisePorts.co may earn compensation when you click or purchase through certain links, at no additional cost to you. Compensation does not guarantee favorable coverage. Material relationships are disclosed as described in our Affiliate Disclosure and Travel Disclaimer.

Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the Site’s original text, photographs, graphics, branding, organization, and other content are owned by Ellie or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and share links to public pages for personal, noncommercial use. Short quotations may be used with clear attribution and a link where permitted by law. No other license is granted.
Third-party names, trademarks, images, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not necessarily imply endorsement or affiliation.
Copyright Concerns
If you believe material on the Site infringes your rights, email [email protected] with your contact information, identification of the work and disputed material, the page URL, a good-faith explanation, and any supporting documentation. We may request additional information before acting.
Third-Party Sites and Services
The Site links to third-party sites for convenience and reference. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, prices, practices, or policies. A link does not by itself constitute an endorsement. Use third-party services at your own discretion and review their terms and privacy policies.
Email Communications
If you subscribe to email communications, you may unsubscribe using the link in any marketing message. Service or administrative messages related to a request may still be sent when appropriate. Information about email data and measurement appears in our Privacy Policy.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, complete, or suitable for a particular trip or traveler.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ellie and CruisePorts.co will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for losses arising from reliance on Site content, travel disruption, third-party services, lost data, lost profits, personal decisions, or inability to use the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold Ellie and CruisePorts.co harmless from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, your material breach of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.
Privacy
Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy.
Changes and Availability
We may update the Site, remove content, suspend features, or revise these Terms. Updated Terms become effective when posted with a revised date unless a later date is stated. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. Before filing a claim, you agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the issue informally by contacting us. Any dispute will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.
Severability and Waiver
If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
