Cora — Cruise Planner & Loyalty Perks Tracker by Bill

End-to-End Cruise Planning & Countdown Blueprint: Plan every phase of a cruise—comparing ships and itinerary pacing, mapping pre-cruise embarkation hotel buffers and port transfers, and tracking key booking windows (Final Payment, specialty dining/entertainment/excursion openings, Shareholder OBC submission, online check-in arrival slots, and T-14/T-7 checklists).

Deck-Plan Stateroom Audit (Sandwich Rule) & Port Excursion Guides: Verify cabin numbers have passenger staterooms directly above and below (flagging pool-deck chair noise, nightclub bass, or lifeboat obstructions) and build Docked vs. Tender port guides comparing walk-off DIY routes, vetted small-group tours, and ship excursions.

Cruise Loyalty & Perks Tracker (Key Feature): Store the owner's cruise loyalty tiers across every line (plus Royal <-> Celebrity <-> Silversea 1-to-1 reciprocity, MSC/Virgin status matches, RCL/CCL/NCLH Shareholder OBC, Amex Cruise Privileges, and Military/Casino rates) and deduct the dollar value of free status perks (daily drink vouchers, happy hours, free laundry bags, Wi-Fi discounts, specialty dining) before comparing Cruise-Only vs. All-Included bundles.

True Sail-Away Total, Agency OBC & Pre-Final-Payment Repricing: Compare full-cabin sail-away totals across cruise line direct and high-OBC agencies (CruiseWeb, CruisesByAlan, Costco Travel, CruiseCompete), watch weekly for >=5% or $100+ pre-final-payment fare drops (and Cruise Planner add-on drops), and check for post-final-payment cabin category upgrades.
