Hey everyone
I wanted to open a discussion around cruise itinerary planning and how much it's evolved with the right tech tools.
Traditionally, itinerary planning has been a complex, manual process—usually done in Excel spreadsheets that require a ton of time and expertise just to manage. Our team recently started using cruisePAL’s Itinerary Planner, and I have to say, it's a game-changer.
Here’s what we’re finding helpful:
✅ Real-time collaboration – It syncs with agents, ports, and internal teams instantly.
✅ Quick agent responses – You can get fast updates on berthing slots, port fees, terminal availability, and even utilities like water/waste disposal.
✅ Seamless CRS/SMS integration – Once a program is created, it syncs directly, so there’s no double entry for the onboard and shore teams.
✅ Clean interface – Even non-tech folks on our team picked it up quickly.
We’re curious:
- Has anyone else here used cruisePAL’s software?
- What tools are you using for itinerary planning today?
- How are you managing port communications and schedule changes?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Let’s talk cruise tech! ⚓
Would you like a version tailored for a more technical audience or cruise operators/agents?
