How to Use All Aboard Deals Pro: Complete Feature Guide
Set up instant deal alerts, rebook monitoring, package price tracking, and custom filters. Everything Pro unlocks and how to use it.
You upgraded to Pro. Here's what you just unlocked and how to set it up so nothing slips through.
This guide covers every Pro feature — instant deal alerts, rebook monitoring, Cruise Planner package tracking, an unlimited watchlist, and 12-month price history in the extension.
If you haven't read the free account guide yet, start there. Everything in that guide still applies. Pro builds on top of it.
What Pro Adds
Everything in the free account, plus:
- Instant deal alerts — email within minutes when a 90+ deal appears, or a daily digest
- Custom deal filters — only get alerts for the cruise lines, cabin types, regions, and months you care about
- Rebook fare monitoring — track prices on cruises you've already booked, get notified when the price drops so you can call for a price adjustment

- Unlimited watchlist — track as many sailings as you want, up from 2 on free
- 12-month price history in the Chrome extension — up from 90 days on free
Your Pro Dashboard, at a Glance
Everything Pro lives on your account dashboard. The left sidebar is how you move around:
- Overview — your home base. A running tally of what you've saved, how many things you're tracking, and any price moves worth acting on right now.
- Watchlist — sailings you're tracking for a fare drop.
- Packages — Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Planner add-ons you're tracking.
- Rebook Fares — cruises you've already booked, watched for a price drop.
- Account — your profile, currency, email preferences, and deal alert setup.
- Subscription — your plan and billing.
- Tutorials and Feedback — short walkthrough videos, and a direct line to us.
The Overview tab is worth a second. Up top you'll see four numbers: Saved So Far (what your triggered alerts have added up to), Trackers (sailings, packages, and rebooks combined), Price Drops (moves ready for you to act on), and your Next Sailing. Below that, Worth a Look surfaces the specific fares and packages that just moved — a target you hit, a fare that's close, a booked cruise that dropped below what you paid. If it's quiet, it says so. You don't have to go digging tab by tab; the Overview pulls the urgent stuff to the top.
Step 1 — Turn On Your Deal Alerts
This is the first thing to do after upgrading. Pro alerts are off until you set them up — we don't start sending emails until you tell us what you want.
Open the Account tab. If you haven't configured alerts yet, a "Set up your deal alerts" panel sits near the top with two options:
"Configure Alerts" — opens the filter panel where you choose specific cruise lines, cabin types, regions, and departure months. You'll only get alerts matching those filters.
"Send Me Everything" — turns on alerts with no filters. You'll get notified about every 90+ deal we find across all lines and cabin types.
Either option activates your alerts immediately.
Setting Your Filters
If you choose "Configure Alerts," a filter panel opens with tabs for Lines, Regions, Cabins, and Months. Select as many or as few as you want in each category.
If you set no filters, you get everything. If you set filters, categories work together. For example, selecting Royal Caribbean and Balcony means you'll only get Royal Caribbean balcony deals — not all balconies from every line.
Real-time vs. Daily Digest
Once your alerts are on, you choose how you receive them. Both live in the Deal Alert Preferences block on the Account tab:
- Real-time Alerts — an email within minutes of a 90+ deal being detected. If we find 6 deals in a single update cycle, you get one email with all 6. Typically 0–3 emails per day.
- Daily Digest — one consolidated email at 6 PM Eastern with everything from the past 24 hours. Good if you don't want multiple emails throughout the day.
You can have one or both on. Turn both off to stop Pro deal alerts entirely.
Adjusting Your Filters Later
Changed your mind about which lines you care about? The Filter Alerts By section on the Account tab shows your current filters as tags, with a Set Filters / Edit Filters button to update anytime. Filters apply to both real-time alerts and the daily digest.
Step 2 — Track a Cruise's Fare
Your Watchlist is where you track a sailing and get told the moment its fare hits your target. Free accounts track 2 sailings. Pro is unlimited — track every cabin type on a sailing, compare departure dates, or watch sailings across several lines at once.
Add a cruise in three steps
From the Watchlist tab, click + Add Cruise. A short wizard walks you through it:
- Find your cruise — search by ship name, narrow by cruise line and departure window
- Pick your sailing — choose the exact departure from the results
- Set your alert — pick a cabin type and a drop threshold (5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%)
That's it — we start tracking the fare and email you when it drops to your target. You can view your watchlist as cards or a table using the layout toggle, and edit any target later without removing the sailing.
Two other ways to add
From the deals page — click Track on any deal card to set a price alert with your preferred drop threshold.
From the Chrome extension — click Track for Price Drops on any cruise line website where Cruise Radar is active.
Step 3 — Set Up Rebook Fare Monitoring
Already booked a cruise? Prices don't stop moving after you book. If the fare drops, most cruise lines will give you a price adjustment or onboard credit — but only if you notice the drop and call them.
Pro watches the price for you. Open the Rebook Fares tab and click + Add Rebook Alert.
The fastest way: upload your confirmation
The rebook wizard has a shortcut. On the first step you can upload your booking confirmation (a PDF or screenshot) and we'll read the ship, sail date, cabin, and the fare you paid straight off it — no typing. Prefer to do it yourself? Enter the ship name and sail month manually instead.
From there the wizard is three steps:
- Find — upload the confirmation, or type the ship and sail month
- Pick your sailing — choose the exact one you booked
- Configure — confirm the cabin, the price you paid, and a drop threshold (5%, 10%, or 15%)
We'll email you the moment the current price falls below your target.
What happens when the price drops
You get an email with the current price, your original price, and the savings amount. Then you call the cruise line and request a price adjustment.
Each line has different policies — some give cabin upgrades, some give onboard credit, some adjust the fare directly. We cover every major line's policy in our cruise line rebook policies guide.
Once an alert fires, it moves to a Past Alerts section on the tab so you have a record of what triggered — and it won't alert again for the same drop.
Limits
You can monitor up to 100 booked cruises at a time. Only future sailings can be tracked — once a cruise has departed, monitoring stops automatically.
We track cruise prices across 190+ ships
Free Monday + Friday emails — market reports, price drops, and where the deals are.
Step 4 — Track Cruise Planner Package Prices
If you're sailing Royal Caribbean or Celebrity, the add-on packages (drinks, WiFi, dining, excursions) change price constantly. Pro monitors them so you can buy at the right time. It's all on the Packages tab.
Add a package in three steps
Click + Add Package and the wizard walks you through it:
- Choose a cruise line — Royal Caribbean or Celebrity
- Ship & sail date — pick your ship, then your sailing
- Pick a package — browse by category (Beverage, WiFi, Dining, Activities, Spa, The Key, Excursions), set a drop threshold, and hit Track
Each package shows its current price and pricing type (per night, per cruise, or per person). If you've already bought a package, add the price you paid — we'll flag it the moment the price drops below that, so you can rebook the add-on and pocket the difference.
Cruising from outside the US? Before you add a package, set your home currency on the Account tab — USD, CAD, GBP, EUR or AUD — so every package is tracked and compared in the currency you actually pay in. It's the difference between a real drop alert and one that's just the exchange rate moving. Full walkthrough: track packages in your own currency.
You can also add packages straight from the Chrome extension while browsing Royal Caribbean's Cruise Planner. See our Cruise Radar extension walkthrough for a step-by-step guide.
Purchased vs. Interested
Your tracked packages split into two groups, and you can filter between them:
- Interested — packages you're watching for a good price, with a target based on your drop threshold. When they hit it, they get a "Price Dropped!" badge.
- Purchased — packages you've already bought (you added a price paid). These get a "Below Price Paid" flag whenever the current price undercuts what you spent — your cue to rebook the add-on.
What's tracked
- Beverage packages — Deluxe Beverage, Refreshment, Classic Soda, etc.
- WiFi packages — Surf, Surf + Stream
- Dining packages — specialty restaurant bundles
- Excursions, activities, spa, and The Key — the rest of the Cruise Planner catalog
You can track up to 100 packages at a time.
When to buy
Cruise Planner prices follow patterns. They spike right after booking, drop during sales, and sometimes hit their lowest 30–45 days before departure.
Tracking removes the guesswork — you'll see the price move and know when it's at a good point to buy.
Step 5 — Pro Extras in the Chrome Extension
The free extension gives you deal scores and a 90-day price average. Pro unlocks three additional data points that change how you evaluate a sailing:
- 12-month price history — the full year of pricing data instead of just 90 days. A sailing that looks cheap over the last 3 months might be completely normal when you look at the full year. Or a price that seems flat over 90 days might actually be at a 12-month low. The longer window tells you more.
- Price volatility — how much the price has been moving. High volatility means the price swings a lot and may drop further. Low volatility means the price is stable and unlikely to change much before departure.
- Book now or wait — a recommendation based on the current price relative to historical data, trend direction, and volatility. If the price is near a historical low and trending up, we'll tell you to book. If it's still dropping, we'll tell you to wait. (Free accounts see the score and a factual read on the price; the book-or-wait call is Pro.)
This all works automatically — once your Pro account is linked to the extension, the extra data appears in the price panel on cruise line websites.
If you haven't installed the extension yet, get Cruise Radar here. For a full walkthrough, see our Cruise Radar extension guide.
Managing Your Subscription
Your subscription details live on the Subscription tab. From there you can:
- View your current plan, amount, and next billing date (or the date access runs through, if you've cancelled)
- Open the billing portal to update payment info with Manage Billing
- Cancel if you need to (you keep access through the end of your billing period), or reactivate later
If you have questions about your subscription, email us at hello@allaboarddeals.com.
Two More Tabs Worth Knowing
- Tutorials — short video walkthroughs for the features above. If a flow isn't clicking, start here.
- Feedback — tell us what's working and what isn't. You can rate us, write a note, and attach screenshots. We read all of it — a deal that scored wrong or an alert that came late is exactly the kind of thing that helps us fix it.
Pro Setup Checklist
- Turn on deal alerts on the Account tab — Configure Alerts or Send Me Everything
- Choose real-time or digest — or both
- Add rebook alerts for any cruises you've already booked — upload the confirmation to skip the typing
- Track Cruise Planner packages if you're sailing Royal Caribbean or Celebrity
- Install the Chrome extension if you haven't — Pro unlocks 12-month history
Takes about 5 minutes. After that, everything runs automatically.
