Cruise Buddy

Dashboard ​

The dashboard is the Home screen. It shows every cruise on your account, grouped by status, with a daily cruise tip.

The dashboard opens on a large illustration with a greeting — good morning, afternoon or evening, with your first name — a short line of flavour text that changes each day, and the New cruise button.

Daily tip ​

The Tip of the day card shows a single cruise tip, chosen by the date. Use the arrows to look at the previous or next tip, and tap Thanks to hide the card until tomorrow. Some tips carry a link to a product or service; these open in a new tab.

You can turn tips off in Settings → Preferences.

Sections ​

Cruises are grouped into three sections based on their dates:

  • Active — cruises happening now, marked In progress.
  • Upcoming — cruises still to come, with the number of days until departure.
  • Been there — cruises that have finished, with the date you returned.

Empty sections are hidden. With no cruises at all, you'll see a No cruises yet card with an Add a cruise button instead.

Each card shows the cruise name, cruise line, dates and countdown. Click or tap a card to open the cruise.

Adding more cruises ​

The New cruise button in the header opens the cruise setup. On an installed app, the Add cruise shortcut on the app icon goes to the same place.

Two upcoming cruises on the free tier

Cruise Buddy holds two upcoming cruises at a time without Plus. That is two cruises that have not yet finished, not two ever: a space opens on its own as soon as one of them ends, and cruises you have already taken stay on your account without counting against it.

If both spaces are full when you tap New cruise, Cruise Buddy says so rather than silently refusing, with a link to see Plus.

Use Search in the main navigation, or press / or Ctrl/⌘ + K anywhere, to search your whole account. Search covers cruises, people, person and cruise documents, itinerary ports and excursions. Type at least two characters; select a result to go straight to it.

Search runs entirely in your browser, on the copy of your data already on the device. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Deleting a cruise ​

There is currently no way to delete a whole cruise in the web app. To remove individual items — days, excursions, payments, documents and so on — use the Delete button on each one. Contact support if you need a cruise removed.
