Doris Visits does not collect data but our advertising partners may do. You are welcome to stop adverts, refuse cookies, and just enjoy the cruise with us. We are not on all social medias, but feel free to share.
We are on few Social Media, and have joined just enough cruise relevant affiliates to gain our ability to post effectively and help cruisers. For us, it is about our cruise novels released on Amazon, and our cruise port guides on YouTube. Please share our cruise films on YouTube and subscribe – subscription is free.
We partner with Cruise Direct to offer you great cruise deals. You will find their links on our site.
We partner with Booking.com, because we are fans of extending our cruise start or end by a day or two.
DorisVisits.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by showing Amazon products. We joined to publish and sell our cruise novels. Please see the first in the series of cruise thrillers Cruise Ship Heist, the latest is The Unexpected. Start with either. Doris Visits also participates in other affiliate programs, normally cruise or book related, and we sometimes get a commission through purchases made using our the links we use you may assume links to third parties have these connections. You do not pay extra for ANY affiliate link you click, but that affiliate if they do pay us some money, is helping to pay for our server, widgets, apps and other tools we use to make this site work. To date we have never been a profit making site and the income from books supplements the cruise activity, help and advice we give. If in doubt, assume there may be a marketing link when you go through to a third party site. If you click links we use on other sites, used to direct you to cruise help, sites like Facebook, you should know that they replace our link with their own and that becomes the dominant link meaning they get paid the commission. The only site we can control is DorisVisits.com
In order to gain support from platforms, you may find that the platform puts adverts onto our page. We have partnerships with cruise and trvael companies, which means we get offers that we can pass on, news, information and sit as their friends or fellows. That does mean that we can get a commission, as explained here. It is why we have to declare the warnings you reject or accept. http://paidforadvertising.com/.
In ten years, we have never considered it an income source, and not pushed it so we have received very little. But, maybe one day it will surprise us. We do, unashamedly push our books, and they make pennies, but they pay for the running of this site. Please download and read one – and more importantly review it and mention you have read it on your chat group. Each little build in book audience takes us nearer to that possible high end TV series – read them and you will see what I mean. The first is Cruise Ship Heist, the latest is The Unexpected. Start with either…. the first is about drug money leaving south America, the Unexpected is an espionage type terror thriller based in the Baltic.
