reallyitsmema Posted April 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is this the one you are looking for? http://www.cruisecal.com/portal/ Unfortunately that site is no longer a free site and there is no way I am paying $24.95 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea and Me Posted April 4, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That is it Lisa. When did they start the registration and paying for it? I use to be able to go on with no problem. Thanks for the info. Wonder if there is another site?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserbryce Posted April 4, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I dodnt believe it at first but looked at cruisecal and the above post is correct...you cant do anything without being a subscriber...I will just get all my info from here and cruise line websites...no need to pay that much for an occasional look at which ships will be with us in port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky616 Posted April 4, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That is it Lisa. When did they start the registration and paying for it? I use to be able to go on with no problem. Thanks for the info. Wonder if there is another site?? I believe it just changed this week to a pay site. As little as I cruise that is not worth it for us. Is anybody really going to pay that?

reallyitsmema Posted April 4, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My thoughts exactly:mad: Carol There was a thread over on the Carnival board about the charge a few days ago. Brian, the owner of the site, had posted on it a few times saying it was a lot of work for no money. Others had commented on how they sent him information for cruise dailies and got no compensation either and it kind of went down hill from there. He did say he was getting some registrations but most on that thread said they were deleting it from their favorites list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted April 4, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Here's a link someone posted on another thread a couple of days ago. I really haven't played around with it much but it looks like it will do the job and it's free. :cool: http://www.cruisereport.com/PortsOfCallList.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TPKeller Posted April 4, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I was reading the thread over on the Carnival board, and learned that some updated info has been placed on the Cruisecal subscription page: New Pricing Structure!!!! – Due to overwhelming response we have a new pricing structure - A Month to Month subscription is $3 per month. - A Yearly subscription is $24.99 - A 2 Year subscription is $49.98 These subscriptions automatically renewed but can be cancelled at any time. Sounds like that may be a little bit better for some folks. Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packedandready Posted April 4, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I just went to cruisecal.com and found that they now charge a fee. Am I missing something there or is this something new? Is there anywhere else I can find out about the number of ships in port? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted April 4, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yes, it's new as of a few days ago. There are a couple of other threads already discussing it here on the RCCL boards: ship site CruiseCal is down - know any other site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted April 4, 2008 #13 Share Posted April 4, 2008 You are right, they do have a fee now. Guess nothing is free anymore. They must need to pay whoever it is that is maintaining the website. They are a lot of work. Have you looked at http://www.kroooz-cams.com to at least get some views from their webcams? Some of them tell you where they are, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted April 4, 2008 #14 Share Posted April 4, 2008 cruisecal was a nice convinience but certainly not worth the subscription fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packedandready Posted April 4, 2008 #15 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks....I remember seeing the "cruisecal is down" thread but didn't click on it and thought it was just technical issues. It was a nice convience, but don't know why anyone would pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted April 4, 2008 #16 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks....I remember seeing the "cruisecal is down" thread but didn't click on it and thought it was just technical issues.That how that thread started out and why my link to it in my previous reply sends you to post#14 as that is when talk of the subscription came up. Someone posted a link to an alternative site there and I bookmarked it: CruiseReport.com - haven't really had time to check it out but looks like it gives similar information. And it's free! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTMichele Posted April 4, 2008 #17 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That's disappointing, but I'd consider paying $3 for a peek versus an annual fee that I don't need. Thanks for posting, Theron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunga Jim Posted April 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted April 4, 2008 There's this website, which is fascinating, although for whatever reason, some ships are not being tracked. The site also features some really interesting information, i.e. world-wide tides, currents, wave heights, wind direction and speed, etc. MAIN PAGE http://www.sailwx.info/ CRUISE SHIP TRACKING PAGE http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/cruiseships.phtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Bee Posted April 9, 2008 #20 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Someone posted a link to an alternative site there and I bookmarked it: CruiseReport.com - haven't really had time to check it out but looks like it gives similar information. And it's free! :cool: I just took a look at it. It showed me what I wanted to see AND it was much easier to use and less cluttered than cruisecal (at least the old version - obviously, haven't seen the new). It's both annoying and bad strategy for cruisecal to lock nonpaying visitors out of all content. Most sites will offer basic free content, then give you extra if you subscribe. That, in combination with making your subscription automatically renew itself, is very unappealing. Goodbye, cruisecal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
