Under no circumstance shall we be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other loss or damage incurred as a result of your use of our website, course, resources, community, or services, or your reliance on any information provided by us.

No Guarantee of Employment

Sail for Success is designed to educate, guide, and support people who want to apply for jobs on board cruise ships. However, we do not guarantee that you will receive a job offer, interview, cruise ship contract, placement, or employment as a result of using our website, course, resources, or mentorship.

Cruise ship hiring decisions are made by third-party cruise lines, concessionaires, recruitment agencies, employers, medical providers, maritime authorities, and other organisations outside our control.

Your results may depend on many factors, including your qualifications, experience, nationality, location, availability, work history, CV, interview performance, chosen role, medical fitness, passport status, visa eligibility, STCW certification, background checks, personal circumstances, and the hiring needs of cruise lines or recruiters.

We can provide education, resources, feedback, and support, but we cannot control or guarantee the decisions of cruise lines, recruiters, agencies, concessionaires, embassies, medical providers, maritime authorities, or employers.

No Earnings, Salary, or Income Guarantee

From time to time, we may discuss potential cruise ship salaries, income ranges, commissions, tips, benefits, savings opportunities, or examples based on industry experience, research, or student/client experiences.

You understand and agree that we make no guarantees regarding your future income, earnings, employment, savings, lifestyle, career progression, or financial outcome.
