Don’t take our word for it

Every page we quote from, in one place, with the date we last read it. These are the cruise lines’ own words, not our summary of them. Go and check us.

Every figure on this site is quoted from the cruise line’s own page, with the date we read it. This is where those pages live, in one list, so you never have to take our word for anything.

Why this page exists

Most of what circulates about cruise discounts, rules and deadlines is people quoting each other. Somebody writes a number, somebody else repeats it, and three years later it is “common knowledge” with no source behind it and no idea whether it is still true.

We would rather you checked. Rules change. Pages move. Prices go up. What is true on the date beside a link may not be true the week you book — so go and look, on their website, with today’s date on it.

None of the links on this page are affiliate links. Nothing here pays us anything. That is rather the point of it.

If we have got something wrong

Tell us. If a link has moved, if the wording has changed, if a line has quietly dropped a rate or added one — we want to know, and we will fix it here and say when we did.

And if you find a rate or a rule we have never covered, send that too. This is the start of a conversation, not the end of one.

One thing we cannot link to. A few things simply are not published anywhere. Carnival does not publish a senior discount age that we can find. Royal Caribbean does not publish what NextCruise is actually worth — their own page gives a phone number instead, 866-562-7625. Where that happens we say so plainly on the page rather than repeating somebody else’s number. An honest gap is worth more than a confident guess.
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.
