Security
Procedures to Protect Information
Security
of personal information is extremely important to us. The Owner
employs security measures consistent with standard industry practice
to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information collected
on and used by The Owner at this site. Our site uses SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer) security technology to encrypt information you provide
to us through the Site, but any information you provide us by email
is unencrypted. SSL is an industry-standard protocol for encryption
over the internet. Data transmission over the internet is never 100%
secure.
While we take steps to protect your personal information and keep it secure, you also play a role in protecting your information. You can help to maintain the security of your online transactions by not sharing your booking number with anyone. The Owner cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or from our site, and therefore you use our site at your own risk.

We
will occasionally amend this Privacy Policy to reflect company and
customer feedback and we reserve the right to make changes to this
Privacy Policy at any time. The use of your information is subject to

provisions contained in this Privacy Policy supersede all previous
notices or policies regarding our privacy practices with respect to
this site. We post the effective date of our Privacy Policy on our
site. We encourage you to check our site frequently to see the
current Privacy Policy to be informed of how The Owner is committed
to protecting your information and providing you with improved
content on our website in order to enhance your online cruise
planning experience. If we make material changes to this Privacy
Policy we will post the revised Privacy Policy and the revised
effective date on this site.
