Corrections

At theshipdeck, we correct errors rather than delete pages. When a substantive correction is made to a fact on our reference pages, a note is added at the foot of the article. This note states what was amended and the date of the change. Minor typographical errors or grammatical slips are fixed without such a note, as they do not alter the factual content of the piece.

A substantive correction is one that changes a factual claim central to the reader’s understanding. This includes incorrect ship specifications, erroneous port details, inaccurate cabin dimensions, mistaken pricing information or wrong sailing itineraries. Readers wishing to report an error must provide the full article web address and quote the exact claim they believe is incorrect. This allows for precise verification.

Reported errors are reviewed promptly. We aim to investigate and, if necessary, implement any correction within two business days of receiving a clear and substantiated report. The reader who reported the issue will receive a brief confirmation once the review is complete, stating whether a correction has been made.

The factual world of cruising changes, and our reference pages are updated accordingly. When a cruise line renames a ship, a port upgrades its facilities, or a cabin category is redefined, we amend the core article text to reflect the new reality. A correction note is then added to document that a change was made on a specific date because the world changed, not because our original fact was wrong.
