ABOUT US

Cruise planning comes with a lot of choices, terminology, and fine print. This site was created to make that information easier to find, understand, and use.

Cruise Information Without the Confusion

Hi, I'm Dee. I started this site because when I went on my first cruise, it was a last-minute getaway during a stressful time. I got on the ship, had an awesome time. Then, on the last day, I saw a charge for gratuities on my folio.

I'm sure it was disclosed somewhere when I booked, but I missed it. Luckily, I had just enough room on my credit card to cover it.

That experience made me realize there will always be someone just like me who misses something. Planning a cruise shouldn't require detective work just to understand what's included, which cabin to choose, what happens on embarkation day, or how cruising in general works.

Our goal is simple: organize useful cruise information in one place and explain it in plain language.

Whether you're planning your first cruise or your tenth, you'll find practical guides, port information, ship resources, checklists, and planning tools designed to help you make informed decisions..
