Cruise Port Schedules, Maps and More
1). Ever wonder about the other cruise ships in a port you are visiting? Do you know there is a cruise port schedule that shows you this?
2). Likewise, have you ever wondered how many other cruise ships are going to be in a port you are visiting?
3). When you are going to embark or disembark a ship would you like to see how many other ships will be doing the same at the same port at the same time? (makes planning going to or from the ship easier)
4). Would you be interested in viewing a real-time map of all the ships in the world, for example, showing where they currently are? (Believe me, this is really, really neat;-)
A. If you answer yes to any of these questions, or even if you are just looking to kill some time, or procrastinate from doing what you should be doing now, then visit the site below: CruiseMapper. It shows the cruise port schedule.
https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports
CruiseMapper currently has 1911 ports in its database.
Besides the tracker maps, it includes cruise ship schedules, cruise port schedules, and cruise line information such as history, reviews, itineraries, and fleets. You can also find cruise deck plans, cruise ship room floor plans, and cruise ship accidents (well, maybe you want to skip this drop-down menu item). It also has cruise news and you can look for and book your next cruise and flight from this website.
One thing I noticed when I was on CruiseMapper is that when searching Ft. Lauderdale you have to type Fort Lauderdale to get any information on the port.
I am obsessed with the tracker map of the world. It is way cool!
There is even a CruiseMapper mobile app you can download onto your phone, in either the Apple Store or in Google Play.
I looked at a number of websites for port schedules and CruiseMapper is the best that I found – by far. For instance, the others were too busy, too full of obnoxious ads and too hard to find current information.
B. The only other website that I recommend is Alaska specific:
To clarify, this is put out by the Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska.
This is not a secure site*. However, it does have easy to find information about Alaska ports. (DRAFT schedules have nothing to do with football or any fantasy sport;-). That just means that the schedule is only in draft form and may change. It is easy to read. First, click on the port you will be in, second, find the date you will be in that port and it will show you how many other ships will also be in that port on that day. It includes the US and Canadian ports that cruise to Alaska as well as Alaska ports.
*The site isn’t using a private connection. As a result, someone might be able to see or change the information you send or get through this site.
C. You can certainly do a Google search for specific port schedules, but from my research, not all ports have their schedules online.
Enjoy!
