🧭 MY VOYAGE ADVISOR

Plan smarter. Cruise better.

Your permanent MyVoyageBoard reference guide β€” from NCL PDF imports and voyage planning to documents, payments, rewards, Voyage Ready, Cruise Log, sharing, and sync.

πŸ“„1) Import an NCL reservationβŒ„

The reservation importer can fill in much of a voyage directly from an NCL confirmation PDF.

  • Choose the guest whose pricing should be imported when the confirmation contains multiple guests.
  • Import ship, sailing dates, itinerary name, stateroom category and number, and reservation number.
  • Import ports, sea days, arrival/departure times, and βš“ Dock / 🚣 Tender status when NCL includes it.
  • Import cruise pricing, deposits/payments, final payment information, onboard credit when present, airfare, and NCL transfers when they can be identified.
  • Recognize included benefits such as specialty dining, Wi‑Fi minutes, open bar, excursion credit, and prepaid service charges when listed on the confirmation.
  • The original reservation PDF is saved to Confirmations & Documents so it stays with the voyage.
Tip: Import first, then use Edit Voyage to review anything NCL did not provide or that you want to personalize.
🧳2) Edit voyage detailsβŒ„

Edit Voyage is the main place to manage the complete cruise record.

  • Basics: voyage name, sailing dates, visibility, and other core details.
  • Ship & Cabin: ship, stateroom category, cabin number, and related ship information.
  • Travel: flights, hotel, transportation, parking, and their costs.
  • Travel costs can be marked as Included in Voyage Cost or Already Paid so totals are not double-counted.
  • Ports of Call: itinerary order, sea days, times, visibility, notes, and Dock/Tender status.
  • Financial: cruise cost, deposit, payments, paid-in-full status, final payment date, and onboard credit.
  • Documents & Notes: keep confirmations and useful voyage information attached to the trip.
βš“3) Build and review Ports of CallβŒ„

Your itinerary powers the Voyage Planner, Cruise Log, route views, in-voyage status, and many reminders.

  • Add ports and Sea Days in sailing order, then use the reorder controls if needed.
  • Add Arrive, All Aboard, and Depart times for better day-of-cruise context.
  • βš“ Dock and 🚣 Tender badges appear on port cards when that information is known.
  • Hidden ports can stay out of itinerary counting while still appearing where needed for a complete route.
  • Repeated ports can still appear in the itinerary without incorrectly increasing unique-port counts.
  • Sea Days are displayed separately and do not need port arrival/departure times.
Tip: For a closed-loop cruise, the final return port can remain in the itinerary while being excluded from duplicate counting.
πŸ›Ά4) Import and manage excursionsβŒ„

Excursions I’m Interested In is your master excursion collection β€” keep ideas there before and after booking.

  • Use πŸ“„ Import Excursions to read an NCL Shore Excursion Confirmation PDF.
  • The importer can capture the excursion name, NCL tour code, port, departure date/time, discounts, and the net price paid.
  • Imported NCL excursions are added as βœ… Booked.
  • The original excursion confirmation PDF is saved automatically under Confirmations & Documents β†’ Excursion.
  • Re-importing the same confirmation is handled without filling your documents with duplicate copies.
  • Use excursion statuses to keep Planning, Considering, Booked, and past β€œDon’t rebook” ideas organized.
Planner rule: Excursions is the master list. Daily Agenda is the actual plan.
πŸ—“οΈ5) Build the Daily AgendaβŒ„

Daily Agenda is for the activities you actually want on your day-by-day schedule.

  • Add agenda items with a cruise day, time, length, port, price, and notes.
  • Booked excursions show an πŸ—“ Add to Daily Agenda button.
  • After an excursion is added, the button changes to βœ… In Daily Agenda.
  • This keeps researched or booked excursions from automatically cluttering your actual itinerary.
  • Agenda items are organized by cruise day and time and can be exported to your calendar where available.
  • Use Pre-Trip and Post-Trip days for hotels, flights, meals, sightseeing, or other vacation plans outside the cruise itself.
πŸ“6) Keep confirmations and documents togetherβŒ„

Confirmations & Documents keeps important files attached to the voyage instead of scattered across email or downloads.

  • Store reservation confirmations, excursion confirmations, flights, hotel, insurance, shareholder benefit documents, and other cruise files.
  • NCL reservation imports automatically save the reservation PDF.
  • NCL excursion imports automatically save the Shore Excursion Confirmation PDF under the Excursion category.
  • The in-app document viewer supports multi-page PDFs.
  • Uploaded documents refresh in the planner so you can open them without leaving the voyage.
πŸ’³7) Track voyage costs and paymentsβŒ„

The Financial section keeps the cruise balance and additional travel costs understandable.

  • Track cruise cost, deposit, individual payments, final payment date, onboard credit, and paid-in-full status.
  • Payment methods can include card, CruiseNext, CruiseFirst, and FCC.
  • Payment History can be collapsed when you want a cleaner view.
  • Airfare, hotel, parking, and transportation costs can be tracked separately without double-counting costs already included in the cruise fare.
  • Removing a payment uses a confirmation step before changing the balance.
⭐8) Latitudes, dining, and onboard benefitsβŒ„

MyVoyageBoard can use your NCL rewards and package information to make planning more useful.

  • Track past and planned Latitudes points and progress toward your next status level.
  • Use View Latitudes Benefits to review benefits tied to your status.
  • Specialty dining totals can combine Free at Sea meals with applicable Latitudes dining benefits.
  • Pre-booking windows can be calculated from Latitudes level so you know when dining reservations open.
  • Free at Sea / Free at Sea Plus selections can surface relevant package information such as dining, Wi‑Fi, drinks, and Starbucks where applicable.
  • A shareholder-benefit shortcut can be shown on the voyage card when you want quick access to that area.
πŸ””9) Voyage Ready and notificationsβŒ„

Alerts help catch missing planning details before they become last-minute problems.

  • Voyage Ready can flag missing ports, missing excursions, upcoming payment dates, and other planning gaps.
  • Use No excursions planned or No ports planned when those items are intentionally not needed.
  • Push notifications can support agenda reminders and key ship times such as All Aboard and departure.
  • Specialty dining reminders can help you remember when booking windows open.
🧭10) Cruise Log, ports, and memoriesβŒ„

Cruise Log turns completed and planned voyages into a history of where you have cruised.

  • Review unique ports, total port visits, days at sea, ships sailed, years cruising, and most-visited ports.
  • Use the map to explore past and planned ports and replay a voyage route.
  • Open a port to see voyage history and related trips.
  • Add port memories and mark favorites so past experiences can help with future planning.
  • Repeated visits are preserved, while unique-port statistics remain accurate.
πŸ”—11) Share a voyageβŒ„

Sharing lets someone view useful cruise details without giving them access to your account.

  • Use πŸ”— Share Voyage to create a viewable version of a voyage.
  • Use πŸ‘₯ Share Starter when you want someone else to import a starting copy into their own planner.
  • Shared itinerary views can carry port information such as Dock/Tender status when it is present in the voyage.
  • Sharing can be revoked when you no longer want a link to remain active.
πŸ’Ύ12) Save, sync, and use MyVoyageBoard across devicesβŒ„

Your voyage data is designed to stay available while you move between desktop and mobile.

  • Sign in to sync voyages with your MyVoyageBoard account.
  • MyVoyageBoard works as an installable web app on supported iPhone, iPad, Android, and desktop browsers.
  • Most major editors and planner views use a full-screen mobile layout so they are easier to use on smaller screens.
  • If something looks stale after signing in on another device, refresh so the latest server copy can load.
Good practice: After a PDF import, quickly review the voyage before relying on it. NCL confirmation formats can change, and some details may not appear on every reservation.
