What a guide is checked against

Each guide is read for accuracy before it publishes, and the shore excursions are verified one tour page at a time rather than taken from a marketplace filter — Project Expedition drops the filter from the URL, so a filtered link quietly returns the unfiltered list. Reviews count only where someone has reported back within the last 12 months; where nobody has, the tour shows its guarantee and price but no star rating, and says so. Prices are the "from" figure on the date shown and change constantly.

A guarantee badge belongs to one listing on one day and is never a promise that Norwegian Cruise Line will wait. Check the operator's own return terms against the all-aboard time printed on your daily program for that sailing.
