Cruise price tracker
A cruise price tracker done by hand works until the week you forget. CruiseSignal does it for you: one booking, checked around the clock against the cruise line's own public price, with an alert when it falls and a countdown to the deadline that decides whether you can claim.
Same ship, same cabin, same sail date.
A lower price only counts if it matches what you booked. CruiseSignal checks your cruise line's public prices around the clock and compares them to your exact cabin, so alerts are matched to what you booked.
- Tracked 24/7
- Full price history for your cruise
- Cruise fare only, taxes and fees separated
What a cruise price tracker has to check
A lower number only counts if it matches what you booked. These are the fields every cruise line checks before it agrees a drop is real.
- Same ship
- Same sail date
- Same stateroom category, and the same fare type where the line requires it
- Same number of guests
- Publicly bookable on the cruise line's own site
Group rates, casino offers, travel agent rates and third-party sites are filtered out, because lines commonly exclude them from claims.

Questions
CruiseSignal is free to start, on iPhone or on the web. Continuous tracking is a subscription, because checking fares around the clock for months costs money to run. Whether a drop happens on your sailing, and whether the line approves a claim, varies.
The publicly listed fare on the cruise line's own site for one exact combination: your ship, your sail date, your cabin category and your guest count. Anything looser than that produces alerts you cannot claim on, because that is the matching every line requires.
The app is built for cruises you have already booked, where a drop turns into a refund or onboard credit you can claim. If you are still shopping, the price data pages show what fares on each line and ship have actually been doing.
It varies by sailing. Checks run around the clock and get more frequent as your final payment date gets close, because that is the deadline that decides whether a drop is worth anything.
Yes. You can add it, but your agent files any claim. We compare against the cruise line's public price, not your agent's rate, and give you the numbers to forward.
