How to Use All Aboard Deals Pro: Complete Feature Guide

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, expanded 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.

Step 1 — Configure Your Deal Alerts

This is the first thing you should do after upgrading. Pro alerts are off by default — we don't start sending emails until you tell us what you want.

When you visit your account page for the first time as a Pro subscriber, you'll see a banner asking you to set up your alerts. You have 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, Cabin Types, Regions, and Months. Select as many or as few as you want in each category.

Real-time vs. Daily Digest

Once your alerts are configured, you choose how you receive them:

• Real-time Alerts — an email within minutes of a 90+ deal being detected. If we find 6 deals in a scrape, 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 enabled. Toggle them from the Deal Alert Preferences section on your account page.

Adjusting Your Filters Later

Changed your mind about which lines you care about? The Edit Filters button in the Deal Alert Preferences section lets you update anytime. Filters apply to both real-time alerts and the daily digest.

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.

Step 2 — 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.

How to add a rebook alert

1. Go to your account page and click the Rebook Fares tab

2. Click + Add Rebook Alert
3. Enter a departure date and ship name to find your sailing

4. Select your cabin type — the dropdown shows the current price for each option
5. Enter the price you paid per night

6. Set your alert threshold — 5%, 10%, or 15% drop. You'll see a preview of exactly when we'll notify you.

7. We'll email you when the current price drops 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.

Limits

You can monitor up to 6 booked cruises at a time. Only future sailings can be tracked — once a cruise has departed, monitoring stops automatically.

Step 3 — 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.

How to add a package watch

1. Go to your account page and click the Packages tab

2. Click + Add Package and search by ship name and sail date.

3. Browse available packages — each shows the current price, sale status, and pricing type (per night, per cruise, or per package)
4. Set your drop threshold (5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%) and click + Track on any package

You can also track packages directly from the Chrome extension while browsing Royal Caribbean's Cruise Planner. See our Cruise Radar extension walkthrough for a step-by-step guide.

The extension shows the current price with a discount percentage and lets you set a drop threshold right from the page.

What's tracked

• Beverage packages — Deluxe Beverage, Refreshment, Classic Soda, etc.
• WiFi packages — Surf, Surf + Stream
• Dining packages — specialty restaurant bundles
• Excursions — shore excursion pricing

Each package shows the current price, your original price when you started tracking, and whether it's dropped. Packages that hit your target get a "Price Dropped!" badge.

We'll also alert you if the price starts rising so you can lock in the current rate before it goes higher. You can track up to 10 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 4 — Use Your Expanded Watchlist

Free accounts track up to 5 sailings. Pro gives you 50.

This means you can track multiple cabin types on the same sailing. Compare pricing across different departure dates, or monitor sailings across several cruise lines at once.

Three ways to add to your watchlist

From the Watchlist tab — click + Add Cruise, search by ship name, filter by cruise line and departure window, then pick a cabin type and alert threshold for any sailing in the results.

From the deals page — click the Track button 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 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.

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.

Quick Reference: Free vs. Pro

---

That's everything Pro does. Same goal as the free account — know whether a cruise price is actually good before you book. Pro just gives you more data, more alerts, and monitoring that runs in the background.
