Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes, it's completely free! We're building our reputation and want to help as many cruisers as possible. Eventually we may offer premium upgrades like real-time restaurant reservations or local guide connections, but the core personalized itinerary will always be free.

How do you know what I want? What if it's too generic?

Great question! We consider 47+ data points including your specific ship's dock location, budget range, group type, experience level, and detailed preferences. See the "How We Know What You Want" section above for examples.

Not generic at all: A family with teens gets cliff jumping recommendations, while a couple gets romantic dinner spots. Same port, completely different experiences.

What if I already have plans for some days?

Perfect! In the form, select "I have some plans already" and tell us your ideas in the special requests box. We'll optimize around what you've planned, suggest improvements, and fill in the gaps. Many customers love this hybrid approach!

My cruise is next week - is that too late?

Not at all! We can create itineraries right up to 48 hours before your cruise. Last-minute requests are actually easier since we have current weather, crowd levels, and restaurant availability. Just mention your tight timeline in the special requests.

How much detail do you provide?

See the real examples above! Every itinerary includes exact timing, walking directions, specific restaurant names, budget breakdowns, pro tips, and backup plans. It's like having a local friend plan your day.

🔍 Want proof? View our complete 7-day Mediterranean sample itinerary to see exactly what level of detail we provide.

What if I'm cruising with toddlers vs. as a couple?

Huge difference! Families with young kids get playgrounds, kid-friendly restaurants, stroller-accessible routes, and nap timing considerations. Couples get romantic spots, wine recommendations, and intimate experiences. That's why the "Traveling With" field is so important.

What if I don't like my itinerary?

Just reply to our email with feedback! We'll create a revised version that better matches your preferences within 12 hours. Common adjustments: "more food, less museums" or "skip the long walks, focus on highlights." Our goal is your perfect vacation.
