Full Disclosure
It’s important that you know about our relationships with the companies we report on and whether those relationships compromise our journalistic integrity. We can say what we like, of course, but in the end, you’re the best judge of what’s right for you.
Cruise lines, destinations and travel agents do support River Cruise Advisor. So here are some questions that you may have.
Do cruise lines or destinations ever pay us to write specific articles? We wish! Cruise companies, however, do support the site with monthly sponsorship fees.
Do they ever dictate to us what to write? Never.
Do they ever ask us to remove stories that they may not like from our web site? No.
Do we filter negative comments from readers? No. We do moderate comments in that we have to approve them before they are posted. This is to keep out spammers. On the contrary, we encourage opposing views or any information that will help inform others.
Also, we cruise for free. Does that bias us? Hard to say. What is certain is that we can only write authoritatively about ships that we’ve experienced. Moreover, almost all staff at all cruise web sites travel for free. We’re invited on press trips and inaugurals, all expenses paid. Otherwise, we couldn’t afford to travel the way we do. Can you trust our reporting? That’s something only you can judge.
