Cruise Ship Time and Countdown

Never miss your cruise ship. ShipTime is the offline cruise countdown and ship time clock that keeps you on your ship's schedule — not your phone's.

Your phone changes time zones in port. Your ship doesn't. That single mismatch is why cruise passengers get left behind on the pier every week, and it's exactly what this cruise app fixes.


⚓ WHAT IS SHIP TIME, AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Cruise ships run on "ship time" — normally your departure port's time zone — and they don't change clocks just because you've docked somewhere else. Your phone does, silently, the moment it finds a local tower. ShipTime locks your ship's clock to your embarkation port and shows ship time and local port time together, so you never have to do the math on a beach.


⏰ DO THE ALARMS WORK WITHOUT INTERNET?

Yes — every gangway alarm is scheduled on your device. Enter the all-aboard time from your daily program and get alerted 60, 30 and 15 minutes before departure with no signal, no roaming and no ship Wi-Fi. The whole cruise countdown app works offline by design.


🛃 HOW MUCH CAN I BRING BACK DUTY-FREE?

US travelers usually get an $800 duty-free exemption each — $1,600 on US Virgin Islands sailings — and families can pool them, kids included. Log purchases in any port currency and watch a live gauge of your customs allowance. No spreadsheet, no surprises at the terminal.


💱 HOW DO I CONVERT PORT PRICES OFFLINE?

Exchange rates are cached before you sail, so the converter works with zero data. One tap switches between Mexican pesos, Antillean guilders, East Caribbean dollars, euros and more.


🧳 WHAT DO I PACK FOR A CRUISE?

Cruise-specific packing lists built around what ship security confiscates: magnetic cabin hooks for steel walls, non-surge power strips, reef-safe sunscreen, lanyards and sea-sickness remedies. Templates for Caribbean, Alaska, Mediterranean and family cruises, plus reminders for online check-in and luggage tags.
