Thanks to @BrianCurliss for hunting us! We just launched on Friday! Psyched to make Product Hunt. Online cruise booking needed a good kick in the pants and some solid updating.

I've always avoided the notion of taking a cruise for two reasons: 1) they are expensive and 2) they are so hard to book or even find any information other than going directly to every cruise line's website individually. I really like that you guys took an aggregation/learning/discovery/filtering approach to this. Took me 5 minutes to find 3 or 4 cruises I w… See more
