Port Life vs PointsRadar

Designed with the novice cruiser in mind, Port Life is your pocket guide to many of the more popular attractions and activities you will find as you disembark your ship. Our aim is to focus primarily on attractions that you can visit independently rather than having to depend on the costly excursions offered by your cruise operator. The majority of the activities will be within walking distance to the port or easily accessible using the public transport system however in the more popular locations such as Rome we will cover attractions a little further afield. The app provides an overview of the port with a list of activities detailing opening times and prices together with an interactive map to help you navigate around the port (mobile data plan required). The details of each port and activity will be stored on your device so you have the information to hand when at sea without the need for a data connection.
