Which tier is right for me?

For the “one-and-done” cruiser 🏝️

If you’re planning one cruise a year (maybe two when tax returns hit) and you just want to be sure you snagged a fair fare, the Deckhand tier is plenty. Add up to 3 cabin options and we’ll ping you every 48 hours.

Heads-up ⏰ – our data show that on about 15 % of days there’s more than one price move (see figure 1 below). In those cases a Deckhand might miss the first blip, but you’ll still catch the net change two days later.

For the hobbyist planner ⚓

Cruising twice (or thrice) a year? Tracking a handful of ships for fun? Upgrade to First-Mate. You’ll get 15 watchers, price checks every 24 hours, and can even tell us “Only e-mail if the drop is ≥ $50 or 5 %”.

First-Mates tend to catch ~40 % more drops than Deckhands simply because you cut the wait time in half (figure 2).

For the full-blown cruise geek 🧭

If you know the deck plans better than the crew, welcome to Captain. Enjoy 50 watchers, alerts every 6 hours, a six months price history, and early-access beta goodies.

Figure 3 shows why Captains rarely miss a beat – prices can jump twice within the same day. A 6-hour cadence spots them all.

Why notification frequency matters

Sounds good – take me to the plans!
