Meet CruiseHackDad

Hey, I’m CruiseHackDad. I created this site to help regular people cruise smarter without overpaying or feeling overwhelmed. I’ve made the same mistakes many first-time cruisers make—booking the wrong cabin, paying for upgrades that weren’t worth it, and missing easy ways to save. This site exists so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

Everything I share is based on real cruising experience and practical tips you can actually use. No fluff, no sales pressure—just honest advice to help you get more value from your cruise, whether it’s your first sailing or your fifth. If you love cruising but want to keep more money in your pocket, you’re in the right place.

Why We Care

We care because vacations matter. For many families, a cruise isn’t just a trip—it’s time saved up for, planned around busy lives, and deeply looked forward to. When people overpay, feel confused, or make avoidable mistakes, it takes away from moments that should be joyful and stress-free. We’ve been there, and that’s why CruiseHackDad exists. We want to help families cruise with confidence, feel prepared, and enjoy every moment without the regret of wasted money. Helping others protect their time, memories, and hard-earned money is what truly drives us.
