Referral Disclaimer

Please note that I share travel recommendations based on my own personal experiences to help you plan a smooth and memorable trip. From time to time, I may refer you to independent service providers, such as private drivers or private boat charters, whom I’ve personally used and trust.

Please be aware that these providers are independent contractors who run their own businesses and are not employees, agents, or partners of Professor Melissa. While I may facilitate introductions and help coordinate initial contact, the actual services are provided solely by the independent provider.

I may receive a referral fee or commission if you choose to book services through one of these providers. However, I do not manage or oversee their operations, and I do not guarantee the quality, safety, or outcome of any services they provide.

By using these referral services, you agree that any arrangement is exclusively between you and the provider, and that Professor Melissa is not liable for any issues, damages, or dissatisfaction related to the services rendered.

Please be aware that any bookings made with independent service providers are subject to the provider's terms and conditions regarding changes or cancellations. Professor Melissa does not have control over the policies set by these providers. Therefore, it is essential to confirm the specific change or cancellation policies directly with the provider at the time of booking. In the event of any changes or cancellations initiated by the provider, Professor Melissa is not responsible for any additional costs or inconvenience that may arise. We recommend discussing any potential contingencies directly with the provider to ensure that you are fully informed of their policies.

Always use your own discretion and judgment when booking third-party services, and always consider the pros and cons of independent excursions versus those booked through the cruise line.
