Personalise my Palma de Mallorca dayYour whole cruise, planned like this
This is one port. Pro plans every port on your cruise.
You just timed Palma de Mallorca to your own all-aboard. Every other port on your cruise needs the same, and your ship's times change at each one. Pro builds the plan from your ship's real times: a timed day in Palma de Mallorca and every other port, a leave-by time for each stop, and a Plan B if you run late. Ultimate adds a live leave-by countdown from where you are on the day. Every plan uses the same checked facts as this guide. Nothing is made up.
