## [Has CruiseHand been discontinued?](#status)

The public notice says: CruiseHand is paused for now while we work on what’s next — check back soon. [[1]](#source-cruisehand) This confirms a pause announcement. It does not establish permanent closure, a restart date, or what happens to every existing customer’s account.

This page is published by Cruise.do, a separate product. We are not CruiseHand, an official successor or a migration partner. Check CruiseHand directly for changes to its status or questions about past purchases.

## [What should you compare in an alternative?](#compare)

Questions to ask before choosing your next planner
| Your need | What to check with Cruise.do | 
| Help before and during the sailing | Doki is described as a companion for questions, options and personal plans. | 
| Saved information without internet | Saved answers and downloaded content are described as available offline; new answers need internet. | 
| Your particular ship | Check the ship catalog and actual content available for your sailing. | 
| Pricing | Review the current party-size pass and storefront total. | 
| Immediate availability | Check a verified store listing for your device and region before depending on the app. | 

These are Cruise.do’s own product descriptions and limits. They are not claims that CruiseHand lacks equivalent features. [[2]](#source-product) [[3]](#source-catalog)

## [What to keep before changing tools](#switch)

Our suggestion is to preserve your itinerary, booking references, excursion details and the notes you need in a format you can access independently. Use any export or account options actually available in your current product, and keep sensitive documents private.

Do not assume a payment, account or saved trip transfers between unrelated apps. We have not verified an automatic CruiseHand-to-Cruise.do import. Review your next plan against the cruise line’s reservation and current instructions even if you reconstruct it from an older export.

## [When Cruise.do may fit your planning needs](#fit)

Consider Cruise.do if you want help organizing ship questions, comparing options and planning port days alongside your cruise line’s official app. Read the [product facts and limitations](https://cruise.do/guides/cruise-do-facts/), then check the current download links below.

If you need a tool immediately and your platform is not linked yet, these public guides remain available without an account. You can use the [package calculator](https://cruise.do/guides/drinks-package-calculator/) and [carry-on checklist](https://cruise.do/guides/cruise-carry-on-checklist/) now. Neither requires purchasing a Cruise.do pass.
