Also, REALLY needs ability to search on a date range vs searching by month and filtering by a specific day. Especially since the app doesn’t keep you filter options when you change the month of your search. ### 3/5 — Ok when it works *2025-12-15, version 2025.07* Sometimes works like a charm others its like going down a rabbit hole. Ni ingi in future scheduled trips 90% of time. Have to add line by line. ### 4/5 — Extra text *2025-08-25, version 2025.04* How do I get rid of the “packing list” text? ### 2/5 — Poor widget *2025-07-22, version 2025.04* Even though the ship name and pic is correct in the settings, the widget displays a different ship and image. I even deleted and tried again and continues to display the Celebration and not the Horizon ### 4/5 — Great app, but issue after recent update *2025-05-28* Love this all for cruise countdowns, but after the recent update the shuffle option of the pictures no longer works(Toual Caribbean). The small widget is stuck on the black and white photo while the next widget up gets stuck on a blue background without a picture ### 4/5 — Awesome app, could use a few tweaks *2025-04-24* Some cruise lines are not available, specifically Margaritaville at sea, at thier two ships paradise and islander. These are frequently sailed ships that not available on the application. Additionally, when first add the wizard the options to edit should appear. You have to add the widget first before selection settings. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I'll add Margaritaville at Sea. Look for it in the next release:) Regarding the widget, unfortunately, that is the default behavior from iOS for widgets and apps can't change that. I will think about how I can make the editing widget process easier though. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-02-01, version 2024.03* This is an easy app ### 3/5 — Had Hope *2025-01-23, version 2024.03* I had hope for this app. I do allot of Royal Caribbean cruise and they don’t have Freedom plus a list of other Royal ships for the cruise calendar to add. ### 5/5 — Countdown to Cruiser *2025-01-21, version 2024.03* Great app to let you know when the fun will begin. Using for 3rd cruise highly recommended ### 4/5 — Has some issues *2025-01-16, version 2024.03* Widget has “Packing List” on it that you can’t adjust or remove. Words are small and difficult to see on some background images. No way to pick only certain images to rotate through or even add your own. No way to set how often to rotate images. Searching for cruises won’t search all dates, only a specific date it’s showing. Still a good app but to many issues to rate 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-19, version 2024.02* Great app ### 5/5 — Really cool! *2024-12-03, version 2024.01* Love this app so easy to use!!! ### 4/5 — Revue *2024-11-24, version 2024.01* It’s very helpful but it won’t go onto my home screen ### 5/5 — So easy! *2024-11-23, version 2024.01* Great countdown app! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-11-17, version 2024.01* Easy to understand ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-30, version 2024.01* Very easy app. ### 5/5 — Love *2024-10-09, version 2023.17* The countdown options are fun and love that they are customizable! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Widget doesn’t work *2026-06-14, version 2026.10* Worked for about a week. Now it just displays how to add a cruise to the widget when the cruise is already saved ### 1/5 — No widget for my cruise line *2025-08-11, version 2025.04* Annoying that the cruise line I’m taking isn’t included for the widget. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2025-03-02, version 2025.01* Attempting to check in with no success. Why not just ask for booking # & travel dates to get where you need to be to just check in! This is ridiculous ### 1/5 — App *2024-09-06, version 2023.17* Won’t let me edit anything! ### 1/5 — Not Worth the Hassle *2024-08-20, version 2023.17* Directions for saving as a widget don’t work. Can’t save to keep countdowns visible. ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2024-07-12, version 2023.17* Every time I press on the deals button on the bottom menu the app crashes. I have not been able to set up any alerts, which was the whole point of getting this app. ### 1/5 — Does not work properly *2024-03-19, version 2023.17* Cannot save new cruise. Widget not working. Only defaults to carnival and will not save for a new cruise. Phone is completely up to date. ### 1/5 — Cruising with Topanga *2024-01-02, version 2023.16* I’m so excited to cruise with everyone in April!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-04-22, version 2023.08* Closes every time I open it and it won’t search ### 1/5 — keep crashing *2023-03-11, version 2023.05* it just keep crushing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-28, version 2026.11* I love this app. I always know exactly how many days I have left before my cruise starts. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-09, version 2026.09* After the update where you can add your own picture it’s really gotten great. It’s my favorite cruise tracker widget around. It’s fun to show everyone the cruises I have coming up and it’s a great easy way to see how many days. Love this app. If you’re missing a ship on there just message and they add it fast! ### 5/5 — A HAPPY CRUISER *2026-05-08, version 2026.08* I had a problem with the app and reached out to the team. I was told to give them a week or so and it would be fixed. I believe it was only 3 days and my problem was fixed. I’m extremely happy with the team and would recommend this app to everyone, if you’re a cruiser, this is the app you need to!!!! ### 5/5 — Cruise Countdown & Picket *2026-04-09, version 2026.06* I had a small issue with the application but I reached out to their customer support and they were excellent. They were very responsive and helped me out tremendously. I was having issues with multiple cruises not appearing in the app when creating a widget. This got rectified fast with screenshots, video screenshots, & multiple emails. I highly recommend this application especially if you love countdown to your cruises as I do. ### 5/5 — Great app and support team is amazing *2026-02-06, version 2026.03* Saw the app and gave it a try, noticed there was a small issue with the share option. Reached out to them and they responded and had it fixed within an hour. Told me the update would be ready by the weekend (2-3 days), but emailed me the next morning with the new link. Works perfectly now, great little app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app, amazing support too *2025-11-05, version 2025.10* Amazing app, amazing support too ### 5/5 — Ideal app for cruisers *2025-09-29, version 2025.07* This is a great tool for those like me who enjoy booking cruises as often as possible! My favorite feature in this app is the countdown widgets. I add them to my iPhone Home Screen and I can easily track how many days until my next sail away. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Awesome app, could use a few tweaks *2025-06-11, version 2025.03* Some cruise lines are not available, specifically Margaritaville at sea, at thier two ships paradise and islander. These are frequently sailed ships that not available on the application. Additionally, when first add the wizard the options to edit should appear. You have to add the widget first before selection settings. Thank you for adding the ships!! Can we add them to the widget list as well? They are currently not listed when you add the widget to apple. ### 5/5 — Awesome app, could use a few tweaks *2025-05-12* Some cruise lines are not available, specifically Margaritaville at sea, at thier two ships paradise and islander.

Update 5/13 - Yes, you can add Margaritaville ships on either the widgets or the countdown in the app. Enjoy. ### 5/5 — Cruise count picker *2025-03-27, version 2023.17* Very convenient --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
