Obviously, the first thing you’ll need to do is to download Ship Mate and create a new account. If you haven’t already, you can do that here.

    • Hi Phil – we’ll include this in the post. On iOS, you can remove by using the “edit” button in the “My cruises” view, or by simply sliding your finger from right to left (like in your email app).

      On Android, please try a long press on that item in “My cruises.” Thanks!

  3. The list of cruises in my past Kruse history got out of order chronologically. How do I rearrange them in chronological order.? Is that possible?

  4. We are trying to add 2 cruises that we took. One on the big red boat in 1994. The ship is out of commission now. The other is on the Disney magic in June of 2000. There are no sailings listed for June but I have the paperwork to prove that the sailing existed.
    Can I add them to my list of cruises and how

  7. I would like to add a past cruise to my profile from November 1999, but the list only goes back to 2000. Is there a way to manually add a prior cruise that is not listed?

    • Hi Roger, I don’t understand which text feature you’re referring to. If you add a cruise to your account, as shown in the video, you can click on the chat icon and converse with other people on the same sailing are you are on there.

    • Hello Mel,

      The source we used to get the Carnival Australian itineraries from no longer carries these sailings. We’re working on trying to find a new source, but it’s much harder than one would expect. You can manually add your cruise as a placeholder and when we get the itinerary data it’ll show up automatically.
