7. Content: We try our best to ensure that all information is as accurate as possible, however this cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that much of the community content is generated by its users. CruiseCrazies does not warrant or vouch for the accuracy, reliability, and/or consistency of content submitted by its users. Content shared by users does not necessarily reflect the opinions of CruiseCrazies or its staff. All content is the property of the author of the submitted content. As such, CruiseCrazies will not be held liable for content posted by registered users.

Communication Standards: Any material which is abusive, hateful, obscene, vulgar, harassing, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, derogatory, or otherwise violative of any law(s) are strictly prohibited, and will not be tolerated. Inappropriate materials directed towards a particular race, gender, religion, political affiliation, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any identifiable group, will not be tolerated.
