Questions
The cruise lines publish this for free. Why pay?
Each line structures its pages differently; some publish a number, some only a process, some nothing. You pay for the reading and the comparison: six lines side by side, gaps left visible instead of guessed, and the official page behind each figure.
Will the figures stay current?
No book can promise that. Every figure carries its check date, and the book tells you what to recheck before you sail and where.
Is this medical, legal or insurance advice?
No. It reports what the cruise lines publish. Your contract and the current page for your sailing govern the trip.
Who is Mara Ellis?
Mara Ellis is the fictional editorial host of the channel and the Handbook. She does not claim to have sailed or worked in the industry. The authority is in the pages: every figure is the cruise line’s own, with the date it was checked.
It’s published. Check it before you sail.
