cruise register

Tally Cruise Port Fees, Gratuities and Extras — Free

Paste the fare and every added charge, and read the true daily cost per person with the extras itemised.

The proof surface

Cruise fares are quoted per person and extras are quoted per day, which is why comparisons go wrong. One register with a daily column shows the real cost of the sailing.

Sample, not your facts: Sample: fare $2,360 for two over nine nights, port fees $318, gratuities $16 a person a day, drinks package $59 a person a day, $145 excursion — four concrete points across four types.

Why the flat version breaks

Fare-only comparison

Two sailings with similar fares can differ by $60 a day per person once gratuities and drinks are counted.

Per-person versus per-cabin

Port fees, gratuities and packages are quoted per person while the fare may be per cabin, and mixing the two inflates or deflates the comparison.

Prepaying packages blindly

A drinks package priced at $59 a day needs more than five drinks a day to beat pay-as-you-go for most passengers.

How to work the cruise register

List the charges

Fare, port fees, gratuities, packages and excursions, one per line.

Enter people and nights

Both figures turn the total into a daily cost per person.

Read the register

Each charge has a line and a per-day column, with the running daily cost ruled at the foot.

Decide on packages

Price prepaid packages against your likely usage before departure, not on board.

What the register replaces

Question	Before	On the register
What does it cost a day	divide the fare roughly	every charge divided by nights and people
What are the extras	remember the drinks package	each charge itemised with its basis
What to skip	decide on board	packages priced against your real usage before departure

Estimates are marked as estimates on the line; the register does not know your consumption and does not book anything.

FIRST-LOAD

Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the cruise register: your fare and charge lines stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.

Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a bound register page

The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the ready-to-mail packet, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 7 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.

The register and the daily cost are free. The paid layer keeps three sailings and prints the comparison before a deposit.

Boundary

This cruise register works only on the fare and charge lines you paste you paste. It does not book a sailing, does not advise on travel insurance, and does not verify a cruise line's charges. The figures describe what you supplied, not what is true in the world. Confirm anything you plan to act on with the cruise line's reservations team in writing for anything unclear on the invoice before you rely on it.

What this is built on

Every figure comes from the fare and charge lines you paste you paste; nothing is looked up, scraped or asserted as verified.
Method: total = fare + fees + (per-day charges × nights × people) + one-off extras; daily cost per person = total ÷ nights ÷ people
Sample values are labelled samples — illustrative by design, not your data and not a quotation of any organisation's policy.

Before: the reader compared headline fares. After: they can see $184 per person per day once port fees, gratuities and drinks are included.
