## What is Lido Hoppers Cruise App?

Lido Hoppers is the all-in-one cruise companion app built by real cruisers - Tony & Christina have sailed 75+ cruises and share their experience with a community of fellow cruise lovers. Plan, pack, play, and connect - before, during, and after every voyage.

CRUISE HUB
Log every cruise - past and upcoming - with cruise line, ship, dates, ports, cabin type, rating, and cost.
- Cruise Calendar: a synced monthly planner for flights, hotels, rentals, excursions, transfers, and reminders
- Cruise Stats: nights at sea, ports visited, cruise lines sailed, and loyalty tier tracking
- Cruise Spend: see what cruising costs you, broken down by year, cruise line, and cabin type
- Color-coded countdown badges show how close your next sailing is

CRUISE PASSPORT & VOYAGE BOARD
An interactive world map of 130+ cruise ports lights up with everywhere you've sailed, and the Voyage Board turns any device into a real-time countdown to your next sailing - perfect for the coffee table.

CRUISE TOOLS
A cruise-specific packing list, pre-cruise to-do planner, drink package calculator, and check-in reminders so you're never late for the online check-in window.

BADGES & ACHIEVEMENTS
Earn badges automatically as you log cruises, complete checklists, build trivia streaks, and play mini-games - from First Sailing to Diamond Cruiser.

AI-POWERED CRUISE ASSISTANT

MINI-GAMES

FAQ

Q: Who are we?
Tony & Christina - a couple with 75+ cruises between us. We share ship tours, port reviews, and honest advice on YouTube

Q: Why did we build this app?
We used each cruise line's own app, but none looked at our cruising holistically - across ships, cabins, and lines, sailing after sailing. We tried every cruise app in the store and none did everything we wanted, so we built our own. Other cruisers told us they needed it too.

Q: Why offer paid tiers instead of just free?
Lido Hoppers started as - and still is - a free app. But running the database and AI features (Ask the Hoppers, Trivia, custom Scavenger Hunts) costs real money. Two optional subscriptions help cover that and add extras for cruisers who want them. Everyone else keeps full access for free, with no ads!

Payment charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple ID settings.
