Website Legal Notice
Last updated on 7 October 2026.
This notice sets out who runs this website, how to reach them and the terms on which the website and its content are made available. Please read it before using the site or buying a course.
Who runs this website
This website is owned and operated by David García-Carazo García, an individual trading in his own name. He is referred to in this notice as “we”, “us” or “David”.
There is no company behind this website. David is not a limited company and this notice does not represent one.

The quickest way to reach us is by email. We aim to reply within a few working days.
What this website does
The website does two separate things, and it is worth keeping them apart because they work differently.
- It sells video courses. These are pre-recorded online courses about working and living on board a cruise ship. You buy them here and you watch them here.
- It offers cruise advice. David advises people who are planning a cruise and can arrange the booking for them. This service is free to you. David is paid by the cruise line, not by you.
The courses
The courses are digital content. They are not supplied on any physical medium. When you buy one, an account is created for you on this website and the course opens inside that account. You watch it by streaming it from this site.
What is included in each course, how many lessons it has and how long it runs are stated on that course’s own page. Those details form part of your contract with us.
A course is sold for your own personal use. Buying a course does not transfer any ownership of it to you.
Prices and payment
Prices are shown on each course page in US dollars and include any tax that applies. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own charge for converting currency; that charge is between you and them.
We accept payment by bank transfer. A card and PayPal option is being set up and is not available yet. This notice will be updated when it is.
Your right to cancel
If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 normally give you 14 days to cancel a contract made at a distance. For digital content that is not supplied on a physical medium, those 14 days run from the day the contract is entered into.
That right can be lost, but only if two things happen before the course is made available to you. You have to give your express consent to the course starting straight away, and you have to acknowledge that by doing so you lose the right to cancel. Both of those are required by regulation 37 of those Regulations.
So before you pay, we ask you to tick a box that says both of those things. The box is never ticked for you and you cannot complete a purchase without ticking it. Once you have ticked it and your course has been opened, your right to cancel is gone.
Your receipt records the exact wording you agreed to, together with the date and time, so you can always check what you accepted.
If you come to own a course some other way and you were never asked for that consent — for example if we set your order up by hand after a bank transfer — then your 14-day right to cancel is not affected.
To cancel, email us at contact@cruiseswithdavid.com saying clearly that you wish to cancel, and we will refund you.
The cruise advice service
When David advises you on a cruise and arranges a booking, the travel contract is between you and the cruise line or the operator that issues the booking. It is not with David and it is not with this website. Their booking conditions, their cancellation terms and their financial protection arrangements apply to that contract, not this notice.
David does not hold your money for a cruise booking and does not act as the organiser of a package.
Content and intellectual property
Everything on this website — the text, the photographs, the video lessons, the course materials and the layout — belongs to David or is used by him with permission. It is protected by copyright.
You may read the site and watch any course you have bought. You may not copy, download, record, re-publish, share, sell or otherwise distribute any of it, and you may not give anyone else access to a course you have bought.
Using this website
You agree not to use this website in a way that breaks the law, interferes with the site or with anyone else’s use of it, or attempts to gain access to any part of it you are not meant to reach.
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your password to yourself and for anything done through your account.
Links and services provided by others
This website links to other sites, including YouTube and Facebook, and uses services run by other companies, such as a WhatsApp contact button and a payment provider. We do not control those sites or services and we are not responsible for their content or for what they do with information you give them directly. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.
Availability of the website
We try to keep the website and the courses available, but we cannot promise the site will always be up or free of faults. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, for technical reasons or for reasons outside our control.
Our responsibility to you
The courses tell you about David’s own experience of working at sea. They are educational. They are not a promise of employment, they are not a guarantee that you will be hired, and they are not professional, legal, immigration, medical or financial advice. Any decision you make after watching them is your own.
Nothing in this notice limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by anything written here.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice. The date at the top tells you when it last changed. The version published here is the one that applies.
Law and jurisdiction
This notice and any dispute arising from it or from your use of this website are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you keep the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where you live.
