About AI Cruise Granny™
An AI character, a real cruiser, and a rule that every fact has to come from somewhere you can check.
Some links on this page are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
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.
Cruise Granny™, the human
Retired Nurse & Massage Therapist with combined 27 years of professional healthcare experience
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 Princess | Princess Cruises. Seven-day Alaska round trip from Seattle, July 2018: Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria, British Columbia. |
|---|---|
| Adventure of the Seas | Royal Caribbean. Caribbean sailings including Perfect Day at CocoCay and Port Canaveral. |
| Celebrity Beyond | Celebrity 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.
Getting in touch
Write to [email protected]. A real person reads it — Cruise Granny™ herself, not the AI twin.
We are especially glad to hear from you if you have sailed somewhere we have not, if you spot something on this site that is out of date or wrong, or if you know how a cruise line’s casino programme actually calculates its offers. That last one we are still trying to work out.
Your cruise, sorted
Ready to plan the fun part?
Some of these are affiliate or travel-agency links. If you book through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
If stairs, gangways and tenders are a problem, there is a whole section of this site for you. Sails Anyway covers accessible and limited-mobility cruising properly instead of squeezing it into a paragraph: what each pier actually asks of you, which tender ports are a problem and why, the special-needs forms and the deadlines that catch people out, and how to choose a cabin you can move around in.
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.
