Frequently Asked Questions

I'm just an enthusiastic cruiser who once booked a cruise and started manually tracking price changes. When I noticed a drop, I got hundreds refunded—no hassle! I thought, hey, the hard part is just keeping an eye on the prices. I asked around, no service existed. So I built one. You're welcome.

Nope! I'm just a regular cruiser on a mission to save a few hundred bucks — same as you. No corporate ties, no secret handshake. Just me, my computer, and a mild obsession with cruise fares.

Yep! Royal Caribbean has a Best Price Guarantee. I’ve done it myself—no questions asked. It’s smoother than a sea day brunch.

Whether you're a casual cruiser or a full-time ship dweller, we’ve got a plan for you.

Deckhand (Free): Perfect if you cruise once a year. Track up to 3 cabins, get notified every 48 hours.
First-Mate: More cabins, more updates. Daily checks and custom notification thresholds.
Captain: Everything, faster. Real-time alerts, extended history, and a front-row seat to the pricing chaos.

Still unsure? Check our tier guide to find the right match for your cruising style.

We check prices every six hours. If your cruise fare changes often, blame Royal Caribbean, not us. We only email you when something really moves — no spam, no "just checking in" emails. Pinky promise.

Great question, detective. 🕵️ We track four master cabin categories:
  • I — Interior
  • O — Ocean View
  • B — Balcony
  • D — Suite (yes, “D” for Deluxe — Royal Caribbean’s naming, not ours 🤷)
If you see something like I‑Family (2+1) or B‑Family (2+2), that’s the per-person price for a family configuration (2 adults + 1 or 2 kids).

We keep it simple because 99% of price changes apply across all the fancy sub-variations anyway. One code to rule them all. 💍🚢

The Deckhand plan is designed for occasional cruisers — you can track up to 3 cabins at once.

Need more? First-Mates and Captains enjoy higher limits (or none at all). You can upgrade anytime — no lifeboat required.

Yep! If you're a First-Mate or a Captain, you can set a minimum price drop (like $50) or a percent change (like 5%) that has to happen before we alert you.

Deckhands get alerts for all meaningful changes — no filters, just facts. 📉📬

Cruise prices change fast — like a squirrel on espresso. Our alerts are solid, but if the fare shifted while you blinked... don’t sue us.

Every six hours, on the dot. Just enough to be useful — not annoying.
Depending on your tier, we group and delay notifications to keep your inbox sane:
  • Deckhands: every 48 hours
  • First-Mates: every 24 hours
  • Captains: every 6 hours (no delay)

Good catch! All prices shown are per person in USD. We track three guest configurations:
  • 2 Adults — the standard baseline (codes like I, O, B, D)
  • 2 Adults + 1 Child — shown as I‑Family (2+1), etc.
  • 2 Adults + 2 Children — shown as I‑Family (2+2), etc.
We keep it simple so you can spot trends (up or down) at a glance. Before you price-match, always confirm the total on the Royal Caribbean site with your actual party size. Cruise math is hard enough without us adding to the confusion. 🧮

Because that’s when the magic began. April 18 was day one of price collection. No time machines here—just future savings.
This date is for 2 adults in the cabin. But on May 11, we started collecting prices for 3 and 4 guests, too.

Please do. Especially if they’re still tracking fares by hand like it's 2003. Maybe they’ll buy you a drink with the money they save. 🍹

Nope. Just a human with a mildly obsessive love for cruise deals and way too many tabs open.

All prices are in glorious US Dollars (USD) 🇺🇸💵. We fetch them straight from the US version of royalcaribbean.com.

If you’re booking from Canada, the UK, Australia, or anywhere else — the price you see on your local Royal Caribbean site may differ due to currency conversion and regional pricing. Think of our numbers as the universal benchmark. Convert at your own risk (and exchange rate). 💱

You bet! 🍹📡 When you add a watcher, you can choose to track Cabin prices or Package prices (like beverage packages, Wi-Fi, shore excursions, and dining).

Package watchers work the same way — we’ll email you when prices drop, rise, or do that weird shuffle thing they do. Perfect for snagging that Deluxe Beverage Package before it mysteriously jumps $20 the week before your cruise. 🎰

Pro tip: pair a cabin watcher with a package watcher on the same sailing and you’ll have the full pricing picture. Captain-level awareness, even on a Deckhand budget. 🧠⚓
