Since I do travel quite a bit, I rely on some great travel apps to keep me organized, informed, and connected. I use many different apps and I am always trying different apps out to see which ones can be of service to me and to you! I’d like to tell you about 5 must have apps that I am really a fan of!
Google Translate – 
Google translate is a great feature for both desk top computers and as an app on your smartphone. I love this app, and guess what – it’s free! Google Translate will translate around 80 languages! Can you even name 80 languages? I’m not sure I can! You can speak, type, or write, and the app will respond in the target language!
Viber – 
Viber is a great app for free phone calls and texts; you can also send pictures and video. Another great feature is that not only can you use it on Wi-Fi (certainly best international option), you can use it over 3G as well for free. There is also a paid service, Viber Out, for calls to non-viber land lines, and mobile numbers. The app syncs with your phone contact list and will automatically let you know which of your friends already has Viber. You can also use Viber with groups of up to 100; could be great for your group of family or friends traveling together!
Xe Currency – 
I use Xe Currency on my desktop all of the time checking for currency exchange rates; now I have it as an app too. This is a great tool for travel, both before you leave and during travel. Since currency rates can change daily, this is an excellent option for having the most up to date exchange rates. With the XE Currency App, you can access live exchange rates, view historical charts, and calculate prices on your smartphone or tablet. This is a free app and available on a variety of platforms.
Packing Pro – 
This is an amazing must have travel app for people that are obsessed with their packing! You can create lists or use templates they have already created; they also have sample packing lists for your reference. You can import / export lists, share lists among devices, print your lists, email your lists, and much more. This is a quick, simple, reliable and completely customizable packing app.
Cruise Planners Mobile App – My Trips 
(of course I have saved the best for last!)
MyTrips is a great option from my website (www.cruisevacationsandmore.com ) or as Cruise Planners Mobile, a mobile app from your app store. This app is exclusively designed by Cruise Planners for our clients. It provides you access to your vacation information and allows you to book right from the website or app. It’s an innovative way to have me with you all of the time! You can book your insurance, shore excursions, and share your vacation plans with others. Once you have your vacation booked with me, I’ll send you your MyTrips log-in information and you’ll be able to access all sorts of information about your vacation.
I hope you’ll try some of these apps! If you have any other apps that you love for travel, please feel free to share them with me!
Safe Travels,
