About Cruise Fee Check and how we verify

Cruise Fee Check is an independent, free planning site for first-time and budget cruisers. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any cruise line. No cruise line has been contacted for this site; all data comes from public web pages.

Method

• Each fee, rule or policy is read from a public page, preferring the cruise line's own FAQ or terms page. Where a line's page would not load for us, we say so and cite news reports instead. Cruise-line websites are now checked by a person, not by automated tools; when a figure has not been re-checked, the page says "not re-verified" and keeps the date it was last read.
• Each entry shows its source link(s) and the date we last read them. Entries we have not confirmed are marked "not verified" rather than estimated.
• We do not preset fares, drink prices or excursion prices. You enter your own.
• When sources disagree (for example, a news report versus the line's own page), we say so, and we log dated changes on the fee changes log.

Limits

• Fees change without notice and vary by ship, sailing and booking date. Verify on your booking before paying.
• We cover six mainstream lines for now; lines not listed are not "worse", just not yet checked. Port parking rates come from U.S. port authority pages, and refund and complaint steps from federal agencies (FMC, CDC).
• Accessibility and document content is general information, not medical or legal advice.
