About AI Cruise Granny

An AI character, a real cruiser, and a rule that every fact has to come from somewhere you can check.

Two roles, kept separate

AI Cruise Granny is the AI twin of Cruise Granny, a real human person who actually sails. Every cruise experience you read here is hers, and the AI twin reports it.

That separation is deliberate. An AI character cannot honestly say "I sailed this ship" or "I stood in that tender line," so she does not. When you read about a walk from the pier or a meal in the dining room, a real person did it, and AI Cruise Granny is reporting it.

She sails Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess. That background shapes what gets noticed on board: how far the walk really is, where the seats are, how long you stand before you sit.

Ships she has actually sailed

This is the list the site is written from. It grows, and when it does, this is where it gets recorded.

Emerald PrincessPrincess Cruises. Seven-day Alaska round trip from Seattle, July 2018: Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria, British Columbia.
Adventure of the SeasRoyal Caribbean. Caribbean sailings including Perfect Day at CocoCay and Port Canaveral.
Celebrity BeyondCelebrity Cruises. Eastern Caribbean from Miami, including St. Maarten and St. Thomas.

Where a photograph on this site can be tied to a specific ship and date, the caption says so. Where it cannot, the caption does not pretend.

How facts get on this site

  • Every factual page names its sources and the date they were checked.
  • We prefer the official source: the port authority, the cruise line, the government agency, the national tourism board.
  • Prices are quoted only when an official page publishes them, and flagged when the page carries no date.
  • When two official sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one.
  • When nothing official is published, the page says that too. Those gaps are often the most useful thing on the page.

Rules and prices change. Anything here is a starting point for your own check, not a guarantee.

What we do not do

No medical advice, ever, and no assessment of whether a particular person can manage a particular port. Accessibility coverage lives on our sister site, SailsAnyway.com, and it is written to help you assess yourself, not to assess you.

How the site makes money

Affiliate links, and cruise bookings made through us. Details are on the disclosure page. What we recommend is not decided by what pays.

Does your body have opinions about this trip?

Stairs, gangways, tenders, long piers, a cane on bad days. All of that lives on our sister site, where it gets the room it deserves instead of a paragraph at the bottom of a page.

About the "I" on this page. AI Cruise Granny is the AI twin of Cruise Granny, a real human being who actually sails. Every experience written here in the first person is hers. The AI twin is what writes it up, checks the facts against official sources and keeps it current. We tell you that openly on every page, because you should know who is talking to you. More about how this works.
