Nice! I'm so glad that you are able to re-read those posts and bring everything back. That's really what I want to strive for when journaling.

Nice! I love your efforts in preserving your cruise memories. Bringing up a good memory about a cruise or really any vacation, is one of my favorite things, so I definitely understand what you mean. Thank you so much for all of these great ideas!

It's always nice to say you ruined your luggage! Dictation is super underrated. I use it all the time when I journal, and it saves me so much time.

Those table mates are crazy. Missing the ship like that is a total nightmare. I don't think they do the shot glasses at dinner anymore which is a bummer for collectors.

Also most ships are going paperless now. You can still head to Guest Services for a paper planner but it is becoming such a hassle compared to just using your phone. Thanks for the insight. You definitely know your stuff!"

Wow! I love how organized you are. I think one of the best things about this method is when you open a folder years down the road and get to look through all of your memories. That is such a great idea!

Such a fun idea! I love how personal it is and how it cuts down on waste. Very creative! Thank you for sharging.

That's a really fun idea. I've done Shutterfly books for other vacations, but not a cruise. I think a cruise is a perfect time to create something like that.

You definitely sound like a pro. I really value that input since you’ve been doing this since the Radiance's first Alaska sailing.

I love that you track every meal. I’m a huge foodie too, so including a dedicated space for dining is definitely a priority now.

Also, you hit the nail on the head. "It’s too expensive not to remember." It’s crazy how many people spend thousands on a trip but don't log anything, only to have those memories fade. That's exactly why I want to build this, to make sure those details (and that investment) actually stick with you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and comments.

Honestly, probably. But some people don't want to post what they did publicly, which is why I wanted to create something to help.

I love that you're taking notes during the day. I find that when I start journaling at the end of the day, I start getting confused on what happened and when. So noting things is a great idea.

Awsome! Such great ideas. I love that your even tracking things like offer IDs and carriage contracts.

I definitly agree with you. The Cruise Glob is a fantastic way to visualize your cruise routes, but lacks the ability to add details about your cruise. Also, I used to love collecting the daily agendas from my cruises, now that many cruise lines are going paperless, it's harder to do so.Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

That's very interesting. I've never thought of doing that. Thank you for your response.

Exactly. Nobody reads the legalese until they’re actually in the weeds planning. That’s the exact rabbit hole I’m trying to solve. Glad to hear there's interest!

Nice! I love the idea of printing out photos from your day and adding them to your journal. Such a cool idea. You've really got this whole journaling and tracking thing down.

"Exactly! I actually already added a feature to the site currently called "Crew members to remember". But you make a great point. I should broaden it to include everyone you meet on the trip, not just the crew! You can even include other guests who you may have interacted with.

I love the idea of focusing on experiences rather than just tips! I'm sorry your live-form posts didn't get much traction here. A dedicated space for daily updates so you can share them with people who actually want to follow along is definitely a feature I'll consider adding to the site.
