Affiliate disclosure

The short version. Some links from this site to cruise lines and travel retailers are affiliate links. If you click one and go on to book, we may be paid a commission by that company. You pay exactly the same either way.

What this changes about the site

Nothing about the schedule. Specifically:

• Every sailing that we can verify is listed, whether or not there is a commission attached to it.
• Sailings are ordered by departure date, never by what pays best.
• No cruise line pays for placement, and no line has been left off because it does not have a programme.
• Prices shown are the published starting fares we recorded. They are not marked up.

We would rather the schedule be worth returning to than squeeze a click out of a single visit. A schedule that quietly hid the cheapest sailing because it paid nothing would not be worth publishing.

Current status

No affiliate programmes are currently active on this site. All outbound links point to the cruise lines' own websites and carry rel="nofollow sponsored". This page will be updated if that changes.

How links are marked

Outbound commercial links carry rel="sponsored" (or rel="nofollow sponsored" where no programme is in place), in line with search engine guidance. They open in a new tab.

Prices and quotes

We do not sell cruises and we cannot quote you one. Fares shown here are starting rates, recorded by hand on the date displayed beside them, and change frequently. The price you are offered by the cruise line is the real one.

Independence

CruisesTampaBay is not affiliated with Port Tampa Bay or with any cruise line. See about this site for how the schedule is compiled and verified.
