Last Updated: February 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Blue Sky Journeys LLC, doing business as Cruise Together (“Cruise Together,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit www.cruise-together.com (the “Site”) or join the Cruise Together affinity group (the “Group”).

1) What Cruise Together Is (and What It Isn’t)

Cruise Together is a cruise affinity group and community experience. Cruise Together itself does not process payments or directly book travel. If you choose to book a cruise or other travel, your booking is handled through Blue Sky Journeys LLC (“Blue Sky Journeys”), our partner travel agency/booking agent, and you will be provided separate booking and traveler information requests at that time.

2) Information We Collect

A) Information you provide to Cruise Together

When you join the Group, complete forms, request information, or schedule time with us, we may collect:

  • Contact information (e.g., name, email address; phone number if you choose to provide it)

  • Group participation details (e.g., cruise interests, preferred sailing windows, destination interests, cabin preferences at a high level, and other details you choose to share)

  • Communications (e.g., messages you send us by email or through Site forms)

Important: Cruise Together does not collect payment card data on this Site.

B) Information collected automatically (cookies & analytics)

When you use the Site, we (and our service providers) may collect:

  • Device and usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages)

  • Cookie and similar technology data used for site functionality and analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve performance.

C) Information collected through scheduling

If you schedule a call/meeting with us, Calendly may collect information you submit (e.g., name, email, and scheduling details) as part of facilitating that appointment.

3) How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for purposes such as:

  • Operating the Site and providing requested information

  • Managing Group membership and communications (including newsletters and updates you opt into)

  • Responding to inquiries and providing customer support

  • Improving our Site and communications, including via analytics and troubleshooting

  • Security and fraud prevention

  • Legal and compliance purposes (e.g., enforcing policies, responding to lawful requests)

4) Email and Marketing Communications

If you opt in, we may send you Group updates and announcements via email using MailerLite (or a similar email service provider). You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in the footer of our emails. You may also contact us at bnewberger@blueskyjourneys.com to request removal.

5) Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following situations:

A) With Blue Sky Journeys for booking-related requests (as applicable)

If you ask to book travel or request booking assistance, we may share your relevant information with Blue Sky Journeys so they can provide travel planning/booking services and collect the additional traveler details needed to complete a reservation.

B) With service providers

We use trusted third parties to help run our operations (for example):

  • MailerLite (email communications)

  • Trip Suite (used by Blue Sky Journeys for travel workflow/itinerary/CRM-related functions, as applicable)

  • Google Analytics (website analytics)

  • Calendly (appointment scheduling)

  • Website hosting and related IT providers

These providers are permitted to process personal information only to perform services for us (or for Blue Sky Journeys, where applicable).

C) Within the Group (limited and “as needed”)

In some cases, we may share limited information with other members as needed for Group coordination (for example, coordinating a meetup time/place or similar logistics). We aim to keep this limited to what’s reasonably necessary.

D) For legal reasons

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or prevent fraud.

6) Facebook Group and Third-Party Platforms

Cruise Together may operate a Facebook Group for community engagement. If you join or interact there, your information is also governed by Facebook/Meta’s privacy policies and settings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party platforms.
