Header
The top of every cruise shows:
- ← Cruises, back to the dashboard.
- The cruise name, with the cruise line, ship and departure port beneath it. When the ship is in Cruise Buddy's catalogue, its photograph fills the header.
- Edit cruise, which opens every cruise field on one form — name, line, ship, dates, ports, cabin, deck, party size, price, deposit, balance due date, onboard credit and references.
- Four figures: Departs (or Returns once you're sailing), Nights, Countdown and Cruise price.
Sections
The sections sit in a sidebar on a wide screen, and in a row you can swipe or scroll sideways on a phone:
| Section | What it covers | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | Status, next stop, travel at a glance, booking and cabin, balance and party | Free |
| Itinerary | Port and sea days, excursions, forecasts and a route map | Free |
| People | Who is travelling, and which of their documents are for this trip | Free |
| Packing | Packing list by category and bag | Free |
| To-do | Pre-cruise jobs, and the cruise's reminders | Free |
| Money | Cruise price, payments and onboard spend | Plus |
| Travel | Flights, hotels, parking, car hire and other travel, with live flight status | Plus |
| Journal | Diary entries with photos, mood, location and people | Plus |

| Share | Encrypted traveller and follower links | Free |
| Notes | Free-text notes | Free |

For the Plus sections that hold your own records, anything already saved stays readable without Cruise Buddy Plus. The Planner, Decks and Documents sections show a short explanation in their place instead, with a link to see what Plus includes.
Open a port or sea day from the Itinerary to reach the Itinerary Day screen.
If you switch section while you have unsaved changes in a form, Cruise Buddy asks before discarding them.
Follower cruises
A cruise you're following from a follower link shows only Overview and a read-only Itinerary. Its header says Following in place of Edit cruise.
