What We Do

CruisePlannersHub.com is a professional review site. This means that we pay trusted individuals to provide candid feedback about the products they review.

The reviews you see here are the result of honest and careful research. While many companies pay us for affiliate marketing links – meaning they pay when users click over to their site from ours and purchase a product – those companies cannot "buy" a high rating or a positive review.

We believe that consumers need and deserve reliable information about the products and services they're looking for. That's why CruisePlannersHub.com provides independent reviews for thousands of consumer products.

Product Categories

Using market research and search analytics, our editorial staff identifies categories of products that need to be reviewed. We're constantly on the lookout for new products and services.

Research and Selection

The top products in each review category are analyzed and selected for review. Since we have a nationwide reach, we focus on those products or services that are most likely to reach the majority of our website visitors.

Reviews and Ratings

Our paid reviewers carefully examine and analyze each product within a category. The research factors they use are unique to the product family they are reviewing, and the reviews they write are based on their own experiences and opinions.

Quality Control

After we receive the reviews and ratings from our paid review staff, we run them through an editorial and quality control process. We check the reviews to make sure they include the most important factors and clarify any confusing points.

Published Results

Finally, we post the product reviews and ratings to help you make better-informed purchasing decisions. Our zero-to-5 star, easy-to-understand rating system makes it simple for you to recognize the value that each product brings relative to others within its family.

Revenue

Once our reviews are published, our sales team pursues a variety of methods to develop revenue. Some of these include:

• Affiliate relationships with the companies of products or services that we review
• Banner advertisements
• Sponsored text link ads

This way, we avoid charging our readers and site visitors any access fees or subscription charges.

Commitment to Quality

CruisePlannersHub.com is dedicated to providing you with accurate, reliable information about the products you want to purchase. With our methodology and research, we're able to present reviews that are thorough and complete. And best of all, we can provide these reviews to you free of any fees or subscription charges.

We hope these reviews help you find the right products for your needs.

• Which cruise line is the best? While there’s no single “best” cruise line, the right one depends on your needs. Are you looking for a fun-filled family vacation or an exciting bachelor/girls' trip? Each cruise line caters to a different demographic, so choose one that matches your travel goals.
• What is included in the cost of a cruise? A cruise fare usually covers accommodation, meals, onboard entertainment, and access to amenities like pools and fitness centers. However, extra charges may apply for specialty dining, beverages, certain activities, and gratuities for crew members.
• What is the minimum age to cruise? The minimum age varies by cruise line and itinerary. Some require passengers to be at least 18, while others allow infants as young as 6 months. However, age restrictions often apply to casinos, bars, and other adult-only activities.
• What are the dining options on a cruise ship? Most cruises offer a mix of formal restaurants, casual buffets, and specialty dining. Some provide 24-hour room service. Many ships have fixed seating times (early, main, or late), but some now allow flexible dining schedules.
