Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to help you navigate the CruiseProdigy platform and plan your time at sea.
Using the Platform
How often are the ship guides updated?
We are constantly working to keep our ship guides as accurate as possible. Updates are rolled out on a rolling basis as new information on refurbishments, fleet changes, and deck plans becomes available.
How does the Cruise Finder work?
The Cruise Finder is designed to match you with ships and lines based on the atmosphere you want. By selecting your preferred style, fit, and priorities, it searches our database to present the best options tailored to your vacation goals.
Why isn't a specific ship or port listed yet?
We prioritize depth and accuracy over rushing out incomplete pages. Our database is expanding continuously as we meticulously research and build out new guides.
Can I suggest a port or ship for you to cover?
Absolutely. We prioritize our research based on where the community is traveling. You can send us your suggestions or corrections through our Contact Page.
Planning & Independence
Do you book cruises directly?
No, CruiseProdigy is an independent research platform. We provide the details and data so you can plan with confidence. When you are ready to book, we provide outbound links to trusted booking engines to secure your itinerary.
Do you offer personalized travel consulting?
We currently focus entirely on providing broad digital tools and research. We recommend taking the insights you find here to a certified travel advisor if you want hands-on assistance booking your trip.
How is CruiseProdigy funded?
We keep our tools and guides free for users by participating in affiliate marketing programs. If you click a link to a booking engine, gear retailer, or tour operator and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Do cruise lines pay you for better reviews?
Never. Our editorial independence is our most valuable asset. Cruise lines do not pay for placement, and they do not influence the data in our guides. We present the facts clearly so you can decide if a ship is the right fit for your vacation.
