How cruise-line rules are checked
The short answer
Every cruise-line rule on this site is copied from that line's own website, contract or FAQ, and shown with a link to the source and the date it was read. Lines change their rules without notice, so a rule is only as current as its date. Confirm anything that matters with your line before you sail.By Kathryn Lyn2 min readReviewed September 2026
- Source: the cruise line's own page. Never a forum, blog or travel agent's summary.
- Checked date: the day the page was read. Shown beside every rule.
- Market: US-market pages only. Where a line publishes a rule only for another country, we leave it out rather than show the wrong one.
- No guessing: if a line's page doesn't state something, we don't fill the gap.
