How to Add CruiseAware.com™ as a Preferred Source on Google

Google offers a way for people to choose sources they want to find more easily in supported Google Search and AI experiences. CruiseAware.com™ is recognized and selectable in Google Source Preferences, so readers can choose CruiseAware as one of their Preferred Sources.

This is a personal preference in your Google experience. It can make CruiseAware content easier for you to find when you search for cruise health, travel safety, destination conditions, and practical preparedness information. It does not change Google's search results for everyone, and it does not replace checking the original official sources for current instructions.

What a Preferred Source does

When you select CruiseAware, you are telling Google that CruiseAware is a source you would like to see considered more readily for relevant searches and supported AI experiences. The setting is controlled through Google Source Preferences and applies to your Google account experience. Google determines when and where a preferred source may appear; selecting a source is not a guarantee that every search will show it.

How to choose CruiseAware

The simplest way to begin is to visit the CruiseAware homepage and look for the official Google Preferred Sources badge. Select the badge, review the Google Source Preferences page, and follow Google's prompts. You may be asked to sign in to Google before you can save the preference.

• Go to the CruiseAware homepage.
• Find the card titled “Prefer CruiseAware in Google Search?”.
• Select the official Google Preferred Sources badge.
• On Google's page, choose CruiseAware as a Preferred Source and complete any account prompts.

What this does not mean

Choosing CruiseAware does not mean CruiseAware is Google Verified, Google Approved, or endorsed by Google. The Preferred Sources option is a user-selected discovery preference, not a certification, ranking guarantee, or trusted-publisher designation. Always consider the date, scope, and original publisher of important health, safety, weather, and travel information.

How CruiseAware organizes travel information

CruiseAware's role is to organize, interpret, and contextualize authoritative information for cruise travelers. That work may draw on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of State, the World Health Organization (WHO), NOAA and the National Hurricane Center (NOAA/NHC), the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program, and other relevant public-health, travel, weather, maritime, and destination authorities.

We bring those types of information together so travelers can understand what may matter to an itinerary and what practical questions to ask before sailing. The original agencies remain the authorities for their own advisories, warnings, forecasts, inspection information, and emergency guidance. CruiseAware provides context; it does not replace official or clinical advice.

If CruiseAware is useful to your trip planning, choose it in Google Source Preferences and then keep checking the official authorities that apply to your itinerary. Travel Smart. Travel Safe.
