Terms of Use

Welcome to MikeRobbe.com.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of MikeRobbe.com, including its articles, videos, cruise guides, reviews, recommendations, featured sailings, downloadable resources, and other content and services.

MikeRobbe.com is operated by Michael Robbe and is affiliated with Sea & Sun Travel Agency, LLC. Professional cruise planning, travel advisory, and reservation services promoted through this website are provided through Sea & Sun Travel Agency, LLC.

By accessing or using MikeRobbe.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

Informational and Educational Content

MikeRobbe.com is designed to provide cruise-related information, education, commentary, inspiration, and resources to help travelers better understand their cruise options.

Content may include:

• Cruise line and ship information 
• Cruise reviews and personal observations 
• Destination information 
• Cruise planning tips 
• Articles and blog posts 
• Videos and other media 
• Cruise comparisons 
• Featured sailings and itineraries 
• Information about promotions or added-value opportunities 
• Downloadable cruise guides and resources 
• Opinions and recommendations based on personal experience, research, professional knowledge, or industry information 

Although we strive to provide useful and accurate information, cruise and travel information changes frequently.

Cruise lines, travel suppliers, destinations, governments, and other third parties may change fares, promotions, itineraries, ships, ports, schedules, policies, amenities, inclusions, entry requirements, and other information at any time.

Information appearing on MikeRobbe.com should therefore be considered informational and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of current pricing, availability, itinerary, amenities, policies, or travel requirements.

Reviews, Opinions, and Recommendations

Cruise reviews, ship impressions, recommendations, comparisons, rankings, commentary, and similar content appearing on MikeRobbe.com may reflect Michael Robbe's personal experience and professional opinion.

Travel experiences are subjective.

A cruise ship, cruise line, destination, stateroom, dining experience, excursion, or other travel experience that is appropriate for one traveler may not be appropriate for another.

Our goal is to provide perspective that helps travelers make more informed decisions, but opinions expressed on MikeRobbe.com should not be interpreted as guarantees that you will have the same experience.

Cruise Fares, Promotions, and Featured Sailings

MikeRobbe.com may feature cruise itineraries, promotional offers, group sailings, shipboard credits, amenities, pricing examples, or other travel opportunities.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, cruise fares and promotional information displayed on the website are provided for informational purposes and are subject to change.

Fares may vary based on sailing date, stateroom category, occupancy, residency, loyalty status, promotional eligibility, taxes, fees, availability, and other factors.

Promotions, amenities, shipboard credits, and other benefits may be subject to specific eligibility requirements, booking windows, sailing dates, supplier rules, or other restrictions.

A fare, itinerary, promotion, amenity, or sailing displayed on MikeRobbe.com is not guaranteed until the applicable reservation has been confirmed by the travel supplier and any required payment has been successfully processed.

No Reservation Is Created Through Website Use

Browsing MikeRobbe.com, joining an email list, downloading a guide, submitting an inquiry form, requesting information, scheduling a Discovery Call, or contacting Michael Robbe does not create or confirm a travel reservation.

Submitting an inquiry also does not guarantee that Sea & Sun Travel Agency will be able to accept a particular travel request or secure any specific cruise, fare, stateroom, promotion, itinerary, or travel service.

A reservation exists only after the applicable booking requirements have been completed and the reservation has been confirmed through the appropriate travel supplier.

Professional Travel Services

Professional cruise planning, travel advisory, and reservation services promoted through MikeRobbe.com are provided through Sea & Sun Travel Agency, LLC.

When you choose to engage Sea & Sun Travel Agency for professional travel services, you may be required to review and accept separate agreements, terms and conditions, supplier terms, payment requirements, cancellation policies, and other documents.

Those agreements and terms govern the professional travel-planning and reservation relationship and take precedence with respect to services provided by Sea & Sun Travel Agency.

Nothing contained in these Website Terms of Use replaces or modifies any separate agreement entered into between a traveler and Sea & Sun Travel Agency.

Complimentary Cruise Planning Services

Sea & Sun Travel Agency currently provides professional planning and reservation services for ocean cruises, river cruises, and expedition cruises without charging the traveler a professional planning fee for the cruise reservation itself.

Certain services outside the cruise reservation—including, but not limited to, customized pre- or post-cruise travel arrangements, complex itinerary design, airfare assistance, or other professional services—may be subject to separate fees when applicable.

Any applicable professional fees will be disclosed before the corresponding fee-based service is provided.

These may include cruise lines, travel suppliers, co-branded cruise websites, booking platforms, destination resources, excursion providers, travel insurance providers, YouTube, social media platforms, and other travel-related websites.
