Smarty Ports publishes cruise port travel guides ("Guides") as digital eBooks sold through Amazon Kindle. Our Guides are intended to provide general travel information and suggestions for cruisers visiting the ports covered.
We make every effort to ensure the information in our Guides and on this Website is accurate and current. However:
Our Guides provide general travel information only. They are not a substitute for professional travel advice, medical advice, legal advice, or safety guidance from qualified professionals or your cruise line. Travel to foreign ports involves inherent risks, and you assume responsibility for your own safety and decisions while in port.
Our Guides may encourage independent exploration of ports outside of organized shore excursions. Any decision to explore a port independently is made solely at your own risk. We are not responsible for any injury, loss, damage, or negative experience that occurs while following suggestions in our Guides.
Our Guides are sold exclusively through Amazon Kindle. All purchases, refunds, and billing inquiries are handled by Amazon under their terms of service. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly. Please contact Amazon customer service for any purchase-related issues.
