Really Nice App
I’m heading out on my first cruise at the end of the month, and your app looks really sharp. I would give it 5 stars, but there are a few areas for improvement.
• Consider an in-app or online means of providing feedback.
• I’m having fun tracking my ship before I go on the cruise, but it would be helpful if the current location of the ship I’m tracking is better marked (perhaps a larger icon or a different color).
• Also while tracking the ship, it would be nice to scale back on the history…maybe hourly would be too granular, but a sliding scale of the number of days of history to show would be helpful.
• I like the little dots noting the time-stamps of the trip…but maybe those could be tiny arrows instead in the direction of travel. Then you can eliminate the ghosted larger arrows doing the same thing…less clutter.
• Perhaps some of these things can be set in preferences….
Very much looking forward to this app earning a perfect score!

Hi there! Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful feedback - and congratulations on your upcoming first cruise! These are great suggestions! I’ve shared all of these points directly with our team, and I’m glad to say a few of these exact ideas are already being worked on/considered for future updates! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip, and we look forward to earning that 5th star as we keep improving the app for everyone.
Cruise globe is the best st showing my extensive travels
I love the cruise Globe and the maps . Every port every move we make in the ocean. I love the cruise cards for easy sharing. I take long cruises and it documents the journey and is my most valuable keepsake to document exactly where went to cherish in the future. I started using the cards with the book and it is great for coffee table books for people to see where I have gone and see where they would like to go.

Great App
The app itself doesn’t have any bugs. Easy to use and the option to search prior trips, and purchase the merchandise is fantastic. Well done Emma, you and you team have done well.

Fantastic app!
Love this
It’s great to map your cruises but I find it difficult to get back to home page or change a mistake
No USA ports!!
I can only enter foreign destinations. No domestic ports are available.
Confusing
This app did not allow me to search cruises but asked me to put in all my information and then get back in touch with me about cruises that are available. The app asked so few questions that anything is will suggest is probably not at all helpful. Total waste of time. Sorry Emma this is a total disaster. I have used vacations to go.com for years and still suggest it over this app.

Promising but hard to use
I want so much to “love”this app but so far it has been a mild“like”. Developers alway think their app is intuitive to use but that’s because they created it. Users have to hunt and peck to find things in it. It just very frustrating to use. It’s very easy to add a future cruise, but very difficult to add an old cruise for cruisers who have 40+ cruises over the last 20 years. Most people keep the cruise ship name, cruise ID, sail date, sailing port, number of days, and region. Maybe ask for number of days instead of cruise end date to make it a little easier. I’m betting very few people keep a list of ports visited specially the ones who sail multiple times a year out of Galveston just to get out of town for a short break. Is there a database somewhere that lists cruise IDs by cruise line?

Response from developer
Thank you for the constructive feedback, and congratulations on an impressive 40+ cruises! The reason the app currently requires those specific details for past trips is to accurately match your voyage with historical AIS tracking data to generate your maps. However, we understand this makes logging a long cruise history challenging. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the total number of days and simplifying entries for frequent getaway routes like Galveston. Streamlining the cruise entry process is on our roadmap, and feedback like yours is incredibly helpful as we work toward that goal.
iPad app?
Is an iPad app coming?
Can’t add a cruise on iPhone
When I try to add a cruise on my phone it doesn’t work. Either the year dropdown isn’t working or the choices are obscured by the keyboard. At that point it is impossible to continue.
The cruise globe
Off the scale brilliant
Great
About time we had a free app where I can put all my cruises on and see where I’ve been.
Downloaded it a few days ago and it’s been stable, also found it was quite easy to setup.
Let’s hope it remains as good as it is. Thanks to the team.

Best invention ever!
I absolutely love this app, seeing all my cruises and reliving them - I only wish the maps would have an “add photo” option so you can personalise your cruise with photos from ports. I’d definitely buy them then
Horrible Customer Service
My account stopped working. I never get the email with the 6 digit login code (yes, I checked my spam box). Contacted Cruise Globe several times but the won’t help or even respond. Think twice before putting all your travel data and then get locked out
Best cruise record you can have.
I have used this App since its introduction. It is a fantastic way to record your cruises and a perfect way to share your journeys with friends. It is continually improving and adding new features. The team behind the App are supper friendly and helpful.
Best app
Emma has done an amazing job
Such a fun App!
What a wonderful app! Easy to use, great travel log for cruises and a fun ability to track cruise ships. Love it!
Call at for remembering past cruises
This is a simple app and I like it. It does one thing and one thing only really well. Mapping out my cruises!
Great App
Amazing app for tracking all your cruises. At first a couple of mine didn’t show so had to add them manually, however within a couple days these had been added to the apps data base. Love how it tracks your route and how it gives you overall days at sea and how many miles you’ve cruised.
Cool.. more features please!
Love the visuals in this app. I live on a perpetual cruise so this might be less applicable but would love to see number of sea days versus port days as well as days spent in each port. Also is there a way to speed up the replay to 1.5 or 2x? Thanks for this very awesome way to see our home at sea!
