Want to quickly search the whole Travel Forum for something to help you plan a better cruise or vacation?
You can search for a destination, cruise ship, style of travel, a specific attraction, and more!
From both desktop and mobile versions of our site, you'll find the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the forum.
Let's say you're interested in seeing penguins during your visit to the Galapagos Islands, but you'd like to know a little more:
First, scroll to top right corner
Then start typing!
You can search a word or a whole phrase, even look to see if your question has been asked elsewhere on the forum by someone else.
Here, we're after information about penguins, so we just type "penguin" and hit the enter key on our keyboard / on mobile it's done or return. Occasionally it appears as search, but this will depend on your individual mobile device or operating system settings.
Sort the results and enjoy!
