Personalise my Split dayYour whole cruise, planned like this
This is one port. Pro plans every port on your cruise.
You just timed Split 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 Split 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.
