Printable Cruise Planning Pages
Some of the pages you will find in the Ultimate Cruise Planner & Journal to help with the cruise planning process are:
- Cruise budget
- Cruise comparison – these sheets are a great way to help with the cruise ship selection process. Having your options and the highlights in front of you when deciding between the major cruise lines and cruise ships is incredibly helpful.
- Hotel comparison – for those of us that don’t live within a couple hours of a cruise port, these hotel comparison planning sheets are useful
- Getting there & Getting home – these pages are where you record your flight details, hotel booking confirmation and ground transportation details
- Cruise booking form – record your cruise booking details including whether any dining packages are included (often the case with Norwegian Cruise Line) or if it includes a drink package.
- Port day pages – print out one Port Day page for each of your ports of call. Here is where you will record the shore excursions you have booked. Port of call excursions can be booked online through the cruise line’s website. If you have specialty dining reservations note those on the correct day as well.
Preparing for a cruise – Printable pages
The different printable cruise planner pages that can help with the preparing for a cruise stage include several check lists. They will help you remember all the important items that you need or will want to have for your cruise vacation.
As far as clothes go, you won’t find a cruise packing checklist that says bring 7 t-shirts and 5 shorts. Clothing is such a personal thing plus it depends on the length of your cruise and the itinerary. 7 shirts and 5 shorts doesn’t work for an Alaska cruise, a 3-day cruise, or for someone who prefers sundresses.
Instead, you will find a sheet called Outfit Planner to help you decide what to pack. You will still find printable cruise packing lists for cruise essentials.

How to use a printable travel planner
There are several ways you can use a printable cruise or travel planner.
Print out the sheets you want. Have 3 sea days? Print 3 sea day sheets.
Once you have printed what you want/need, some of the options are:
- Small binder
- Duo tang
- Pocket folder
- Clip board
- Have it bound at an office supply store
You can choose to keep all the sheets together or separate the journal pages from the planning pages.
For my last cruise vacation, I had my Ultimate Cruise Planner & Journal bound at Staples. I separated the planning sheets from the journal pages with a piece of thicker colored scrapbook paper (cardstock). This made easier to flip through to the section I wanted. I keep the travel website tracker, loyalty program tracker and bucket list separate in a folder with inside pockets.
As you can see digital products like this are great as you can set it up anyway you like. Make a mess of one page? No problem, just print a new one.
