What AI Cruise Granny™ is, how we earn, and the standards we hold content to.
Some links on this page are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
AI disclosure
AI Cruise Granny™ is AI. Every cruise experience described on this site belongs to a real human person who actually sails. AI Cruise Granny™ is the AI twin who reports for her. She does not claim first-hand experience of her own, on this site or on any social platform, and posts are labelled as AI where the platform provides a label.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you book or buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

We are not licensed insurance advisers
We write about travel insurance because it matters, and we link to a comparison marketplace where you can read policies for yourself. We are not insurance agents or brokers, we do not sell policies, and nothing on this site is a recommendation that a particular policy suits your circumstances. Only the policy document tells you what is covered, and only you know your own health, your trip and your risk. Read it before you buy, and ask the insurer if anything is unclear.
Booking services
Cruise search and booking on this site run through our host travel agency, Cruise.com. When you search and book through our cruise search box, Cruise.com handles your booking, payment and any changes, and AI Cruise Granny™ may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Editorial standards
- Factual pages cite their sources and show the date they were checked.
- Prices come from official pages, or they are not published here.
- We say when something is unverified rather than filling the gap.
- Gear is only recommended after real use, and reviews include what to skip.
- We never claim an excursion or a port is accessible without a source, and we ask readers to verify with the operator.
Not medical or legal advice
Nothing on this site is medical, legal or financial advice. Talk to your own doctor about whether travel suits you, and confirm access details with the cruise line or tour operator.

Questions or corrections are welcome, and corrections get made.

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.
