This app is fun to have and allows you to invite all your fellow cruisers to join you on the app!!

The best app

I have added Shipmate since my first cruise in 2022. Since then I have been on 2 additional cruises and have booked another this year. The app does provide a lot of user’s experience, however I have not bee able to upload photos from my second and third cruise. The only photos that I have (4 on the app) are from my first cruise. I have checked all of the settings to include my privacy settings and there is no way to access my photos from my phone, this is the reason why I rated the app in this manner.

Super helpful for me to keep track of my cruises. I wish there was a way for me to mark them with some sort of thumbs up or down so I remember what ships I want to avoid in the future.

I would never be able to keep track of our cruises without this site. I also gain a lot of info and ideas from other cruisers. Thank you so much. Jeanne Thomas

My wife and I cruise at least 15 times per year. SHIPMATE helps me organize my life since i am only 5 seconds from checking for our upcoming cruises. Its a must when i have to make a doctors appointment. SHIPMATE is the best app on my phone.

Its OK. But it is difficult to navigate around and find things it’s not obvious if you have a message or if someone has accepted a connection. Definitely need to do more work on this app.

I think this app and their excursion is a scam

While on the Norwegian Joy Guest Service refused to credit a guest for a service that was purchased days before embarking that they had cancelled the day of sailing away. They unexpectedly changed the status and the amount for the purchase by increasing it instead of offering the same deal that was originally purchased. The Service received from managerial staff on this sailing was very disappointing. The Cabin steward appeared lazy with a whole lot of excuses on why she performed her duties poorly. Although the interior of the ship was nice, most of the service was mediocre. I felt like I had vertigo after debarking due to the daily rigorous ride we had. Overall, our families made the best of it…

Having used the app since 2019, have not seen any updates or improvements, for example: - Itinerary changes prior to departure are not updated. Nor can you manually update them. That would also be helpful when you have a itinerary change during the cruise to have an accurate record. - You can’t download the itinerary and send it to someone.
