You know when you go to a cruise website and it gives you a hundred pop-ups asking for your email and then screams at you to call them now before this 'deal' disappears? Ugh. I found this annoying as well and set out to build a simple, user friendly way to find cruises using just my phone. No annoying pop-ups or asking for emails. CruisePicker lets you easily search thousands of cruises by destination, departure port or cruise line and your desired travel dates. You can then sort and filter results by lowest price (or per night price), your favorite cruise line, port, type of cabin, or how long you want to cruise for. Don't overpay for your cruise. If you have your eye on a specific cruise, simply add a price alert to it and we'll send you a daily push notification with any price changes. Price alerts are free and there is no limit - set as many as you want! If you are interested in last minute deals or balcony deals for Alaska, subscribe to these categories in the deals section. The app monitors thousands of cruise prices and will automatically send you a notification when it spots a cheap price. Its not unusual to find deals from $30 / night! Deal categories include (more in the app): - 7 night Caribbean deals - Balcony deals for Mediterranean - Cruise deals from Miami - Cruise deals from Los Angeles - Deals on NEW ships - Carnival cruise deals - Royal Caribbean deals Many people want to learn about the ship - what's the food like? C'mon, we know food on a cruise is key! We list each restaurant and bar, entertainment venues and onboard activities. In addition, we describe each type of cabin (there are many). Where we can, we also list which venues are included (free) and which require an upcharge. Here is a summary of the features the app provides: - NEW: Cruise countdown widgets help you get excited for your cruise - Search and Filter cruises by departure port, date, length and cheapest prices - Watchlist: Get price alert notifications when prices for a specific cruise price drops (or goes up) - Deals: Track the best prices for last minute cruises, new ships, or by popular destinations and lines - Compare prices from many sites to make sure you get the best deal - Detailed itinerary: each destination and arrival and departure times - Explore what to do on each ship including dining, entertainment and activities - Browse the various cabins and staterooms categories - Content: Learn about the cruise lines and how each is different - See deck maps for every ship - Dark mode for late night browsing:) Covers all the major cruise lines including: - Carnival Cruise - Royal Caribbean - Norwegian Cruise Line - Disney Cruise - Celebrity Cruises - Holland America Line - Princess Cruises Note: each cruise line is unique! Read our guide to cruise lines. Cruises from all ports including Miami, Ft Lauderdale, New York, Galveston, Seattle, Vancouver and more. Also, check out popular destinations including: - Caribbean & Bahamas - Alaska - Europe & Mediterranean - Mexico Have questions or an idea to make the app better? I'd love to hear from you. Email my team: team (at) cruisepicker (dot) com - We read every email. Lastly, check out what our users have been saying. Tony R. "I like getting CruisePicker alerts when I'm in a boring meeting. I can quickly check out the deal and see if it's worth checking out more." Ashley G. "I have my eye on deals from Miami. I live here so I can easily catch a ship even if its last minute. Any day on a cruise is better than on land!" Maria A. "My husband and I have busy lives and a cruise is how we destress and relax. I just love all the filters and sorts this app has - makes its super easy to find the best cruise for us."
