Cruisers Connect was the premier social network of cruisers. Founded by Chris Harms in May of 2010, Cruisers Connect was shut down in August of 2012, just days before Chris went off to attend college at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. During the two years Cruisers Connect was live it became the premier social network for cruisers, welcoming thousands of members."Our mission at Cruisers Connect is to connect cruisers with each other all across the world, we do so with our signature program Friends At Sea. With Friends At Sea, cruisers can meet their future shipmates long before they set sail and keep in touch long after they depart their cruise. In addition, Cruisers Connect is home to an ever growing database of actual cruise Stateroom Pictures. This feature will allow veteran and first time cruisers alike to discover their perfect cabin before they set sail! Cruisers Connect is also home to forums dedicated to specific cruise lines, port of calls, and other areas of cruising. As a member of Cruisers Connect, members can post trip reviews, and read others as well for tips or inspiration for a future cruise. Written by Cruisers Connect's iconic editorial team, Featured Articles educate and enlighten cruisers on a variety of different topics and cruise lines with new articles written weekly. While cruisers may not be sailing the seven seas, they may utilize Cruisers Connect's Ship Tracker; this interactive map allows our members to search and locate their favorite cruise ships and other vessels in real time. In mid-2011 Cruisers Connect launched the first of its kind mobile app for both Apple and Android powered devices! This allows its users to enjoy the many features of Cruisers Connect on the go.
