CRUIZERFINDER THE NEXT WAVE OF CRUISE SHIP TECHNOLOGY

CRUIZERFINDER CONVENIENTLY CONNECTING CRUISERS

The revolutionary CruizerFinder App allows guests to stay connected with members of their party while on board. More than just a text and chat app, CruizerFinder utilizes QR codes that, once scanned, lets members of a group check one another’s location or activity in real-time. Now it’s easier for guests to connect for shows, reservations, or gatherings while on board. Stand apart from other cruise lines by offering a service that lets your guests spend less time locating one another and more time embracing the wonderful amenities available while on board. Connect, cruise, and create memories!

In this digital age, we are accustomed to being connected 24/7. And, while we all like to disconnect, there’s a fine line between unplugging from the real world and being unable to connect with travel companions while on vacation. Not locating friends and loved ones can be stressful, especially in unfamiliar environments and large ships. That’s where the CruizerFinder App comes in. When your group members “check-in” and scan a QR code at their location, you can quickly locate them! This means less time tracking down a group for dinner reservations or worrying if your teen is still at the dance club. The CruizerFinder App’s universal platform lets guests easily reach one another and track locations while on the ship.

WHY CRUIZERFINDER APP?

Today, most ships have messaging apps or twoway radios that allow guests to communicate while on board. But, the CruizerFinder App takes this technology to the next level. Guests use their cell phones to “check-in” by scanning a QR code at their location. The app acts as a GPS, letting members in a group track one another. Once guests check the QR code, members of their party can see their current location. This also incentivizes cruisers to purchase an internet package and alleviates carrying a bulky walkie-talkie.

PRICING MODELS:

PREFERRED PRICING MODEL:

The cruise line will pay CruizerFinder a flat rate directly for each passenger that boards their ship. It’s basically a free add on that’s incorporated into the cost of the cruise. This rate essentially gives the cruise line the rights to offer this amazing feature, of course the cruiser has the option to download and utilize the app. The cruise line will provide the cruiser with a master/promo code to use to purchase a subscription, receive an activation code via email, which will allow the cruiser to start inviting other members from their contact list and create a group.

ALTERNATIVE PRICING MODEL:

Passengers will be allowed to download and pay for the access to the app themselves (pricing TBD) with an option for sharing/inviting others to sign up as well. An activation code will be provided to passengers via text or email, allowing them permission to download the app.

Chemia Holland is an avid cruiser. And while there are so many aspects of cruising that Chemia loves, she recognized that there was a disconnect when it came to gathering members of her party. Talking with friends and other passengers, Chemia realized she was not alone in her frustrations.

“I was constantly hearing guests question the whereabouts of their travel companions. The amount of time and frustration spent on locating one another was excessive. I thought there had to be a better way of navigating this,” said Chemia.

Chemia shared her observations with her daughter, Jacia, who conceptualized the idea for Cruizerfinder.

Together the mother-daughter team developed the Cruzerfinder

App to enhance the overall cruise experience for others. Now, guests can share their on-ship GPS coordinates with members of their group. “Not only does the Cruizerfinder App make plans and meet-ups go more smoothly, but it allows guests to have peace of mind knowing where their loved ones are,” Chemia stated.
