About AboardAlert
Keep your return-to-ship time clear, even when your phone and the ship are showing different times. AboardAlert is a cruise port-day countdown built around ship time. Set the official all-aboard date and time, confirm the ship clock, and AboardAlert keeps your return target anchored to that ship-time reference while you are ashore. HOW IT WORKS Set your official all-aboard time in ship time. AboardAlert shows a large countdown, ship time and local phone time, and schedules return reminders before all-aboard. Default reminders are: • 2 hours before • 1 hour before • 30 minutes before You can also set a custom reminder. BUILT FOR REAL PORT DAYS • Large all-aboard countdown • Ship time and local time on the same screen • Return reminders before all-aboard • Saved cruise and port-day details • Offline use after subscription verification — useful in airplane mode or when connectivity is limited • No ads • No affiliate links • No account required WHY THIS EXISTS Cruise port days can get confusing when ship time, local time, and your phone’s automatic time-zone setting do not match. AboardAlert is designed to keep your return-to-ship target tied to the ship time you confirmed rather than relying on your phone’s changing local time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your cruise-day details stay on your device. AboardAlert does not use your itinerary for advertising or tracking. IMPORTANT Always confirm the official all-aboard time with ship announcements, cruise-line materials, and crew. AboardAlert is a personal timing aid and is not a substitute for official ship communications. SUBSCRIPTION AboardAlert requires a subscription to use the app. There is no free tier and no free trial. • Monthly: $0.99 • Annual: $9.99 Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store account. No ads.
