Cruisers are serious counters. Enter your sail date and share it with your roll call. The counter uses each viewer's own clock, so it reads correctly wherever they are.
Pick your date in the picker above. The link you get back carries the date, this background and every colour you changed.
Cruisers are serious counters. 🚢 Enter your sail date and share it with your roll call. The counter uses each viewer's own clock, so it reads correctly wherever they are.
Final payment is the date that really bites. It usually falls 90 days before sailing, which means the countdown has a second, earlier finish line built into it.
- Boarding usually starts early afternoon, so set a target time rather than counting to midnight.
- Most lines close online check-in a few days before sailing.
- A seven night sailing is 168 hours. The counter will show every one of them. ⚓
The dates that matter
| Days before sailing | What happens |
|---|---|

Questions people ask
Can I share this with my roll call group?
Yes. That is what most people use it for. One link, everyone sees their own local time.
Can I count to the final payment date instead?
Yes. Make a second countdown for it and name that one clearly.
