Your whole cruise, planned like this
This is one port. The Cruise Pass times every port of your cruise.
You just timed Ushuaia to your own all-aboard. Every other port on your cruise needs the same, and your ship's times change at each one. The Cruise Pass does this for every port of your sailing, up to 10: each day timed to your ship, a Plan B if you run late, and live mode on the day with Google Maps travel time back to the pier and alerts at 30, 15 and 0 minutes. Every plan uses the same checked facts as this guide. Nothing is made up.
