Affiliate Disclosure

CruiseDecoder.com is solely operated by Bri, an independent travel advisor affiliated with Cruise Brothers, a registered host travel agency. This means a few things worth being upfront about:

Booking a cruise through this site. If you book a cruise through CruiseDecoder – whether through the quote form, a linked booking tool, or by working with me directly – I earn a commission from the cruise line or from Cruise Brothers for that booking. This is standard in the travel industry and does not change the price you pay. You’d pay the same fare booking directly with the cruise line.

Other affiliate links. Some links on this site (to gear, luggage, travel accessories, or other travel-related products) are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Why this doesn’t change what I tell you. The whole point of this site is to be straight with you about how the cruise industry actually works – including the parts that don’t always get said out loud. Earning a commission on a booking doesn’t change that. If a promotion isn’t actually a good deal, I’ll tell you that, even if it means you book something with a smaller commission for me, or don’t book at all.
