This policy explains what our cruise line apps (iOS and Android) do with your information. In short: your personal details stay on your phone.
Our Promise to You
The apps have no Cruises with Friends account, no advertising and no tracking or analytics. Your diary, bookings and sign-in details are kept on your device and are never sent to us.
About the Apps
Our cruise line apps are independent onboard companions, one for each cruise line, such as Cruises with Friends - Royal for Royal Caribbean. Each shows the daily programme, venues, itinerary and your own diary for your sailing, and keeps working offline on board.
Independent: the apps are made by Cruises with Friends. They are not made, endorsed or supported by any cruise line, including Royal Caribbean Group and Royal Caribbean International. Cruise line names are used only to describe the sailings each app supports.
Who We Are
Cruises with Friends is a service provided by Mia Bazo. Mia Bazo is a company registered in England and our company number is 13825821.

What the Apps Use
The apps store the following on your device only:
- The sailings you choose and their programme, venues and itinerary
- Your diary: events you add, your own entries, favourites and reminder settings
- If you sign in to your cruise line account: your sign-in details, your bookings for the sailing and your loyalty tier and points
Deleting an app removes all of it.
Cruise Line Sign-In (Optional)
You can use the apps without signing in. If you choose to sign in to your cruise line account so the app can show your own bookings:
- Your email and password are kept in your phone's secure storage (the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore).
- They are sent only to the cruise line, over an encrypted connection, to sign you in. They are never sent to Cruises with Friends.
- Your bookings and loyalty details come directly from the cruise line to your phone and stay there.
- Signing out removes your sign-in details from the phone.
The cruise line's own privacy policy covers what they do with your account.
What Reaches Our Servers
The apps talk to the Cruises with Friends servers for two things only, and neither includes personal information:
Shared Daily Programme
If you save the ship's printed daily programme (such as the Cruise Compass) in the app, a copy is shared so other guests on the same sailing get the full programme. It is the ship's published programme, with nothing about you.
App Settings
The apps check which features are switched on. No information about you or your device is sent.
No Sales, No Ads
We do not sell or share data, show adverts or use tracking or analytics.
Like any web server, ours briefly keep standard connection logs (such as IP address and time) for security and troubleshooting.
