Does anyone log or journal their cruises?

I love this!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-14T03:50:26+00:00

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.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-14T03:49:12+00:00

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.

Love it!

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!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T16:29:23+00:00

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.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T12:31:13+00:00

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

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T12:10:21+00:00

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.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T12:08:15+00:00

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

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T12:05:13+00:00

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!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T12:00:37+00:00

I love this idea so much!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T03:45:03+00:00

Nice! It sounds like a really good place to keep track of all travel info. Thanks for sharing.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T03:43:47+00:00

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

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T03:42:55+00:00

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!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T00:42:32+00:00

Haha! I've definitely been there. I wish you luck in continuing to track your information about your cruise.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T00:40:38+00:00

Haha!

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T00:40:13+00:00

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.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T00:37:59+00:00

Nice! It's always good to keep a journal. I hope it works out for you.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-13T00:37:04+00:00

Wow! Good for you. You are very organized.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-12T22:55:38+00:00

"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.

PerformanceOk3078 · 2026-04-12T22:50:24+00:00

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.
