Cruise Buddy

Appearance

Travel Tab ​

The Travel tab is for everything that gets you to and from the ship. It's split into sections you can expand and add to:

  • Hotels — pre-cruise or post-cruise stays.
  • Flights — only shown when Fly cruise is enabled on the cruise.
  • Parking — port parking bookings.
  • Car hire — pickup and drop-off arrangements.
  • Additions — anything else (transfers, lounge passes, train tickets, etc.).

Tap the + in any section to add a new item, or tap an existing entry to edit or delete it.

Hotels ​

Each hotel records:

  • Hotel name and provider (e.g. Booking.com).
  • Address and phone.
  • Check-in and Check-out dates (with night count). Date pickers are limited to the cruise's start and end dates.
  • Booking reference and a contact email.
  • Free-form notes.

Flights ​

Flights only appear when the cruise is marked as a Fly cruise in the Basics step of the wizard. For each flight you can record:

  • Airline and flight number.
  • Departure and arrival airports.
  • Date and time of departure and arrival.
  • Terminal, booking reference and passenger details.
  • Notes.

Cruise Buddy ships with a bundled airline and airport list, so picking a carrier or airport is a quick search.

As each flight gets close to departure, a live flight departures board appears on the Overview tab showing its status, time, terminal and gate.

Parking ​

For port parking record:

  • Company (e.g. APH, NCP).
  • Parking location.
  • Vehicle registration.
  • Booking reference.
  • Drop-off and Pick-up times.
  • Notes.

Car hire ​

For rentals at either end of the cruise record:

  • Hire company.
  • Pickup and drop-off locations.
  • Pickup and drop-off times.
  • Driver name and vehicle class.
  • Booking reference and notes.

Additions ​

Use Additions for anything that doesn't fit the other categories — airport lounge passes, transfers, port-side excursions before boarding, train tickets to the port, etc. Each addition has a title, optional category, provider, scheduled time, location, booking reference and notes.

Reminders ​

Most travel items have important times attached. Open the Itinerary Day for the relevant day and add a reminder if you want a notification before a flight, drop-off or check-in.
