Over the last two weeks, you have added 57,000 cruises to the cruise globe, which is just mind blowing to think about. ππ€―
It has been so much fun. Please keep adding them. Please keep sharing them. But as you can imagine, 57,000 cruises does mean that we do have some that we need to check. πππΌ
At the moment, around 80% of cruises added to the cruise globe are instantly displayed, and the other 20% we need to do a bit of a manual check on. ππ
The way that this works, is that when a cruise ship goes on a cruise, every maybe every minute, maybe every half an hour, it is popping out a little blob that says this is where I was at that point. π΅β«οΈ
What we do is we get all of that data and we join the dots together in a very basic way, but itβs not always that easy. Itβd be amazing if it was always that easy, but you might have an area where you go through where thereβs no data for, say, an hour. So some do need a manual check and do need a bit of adjustment. ππΊοΈ
So please bear with us. We have eight people who are working full time just checking the cruises. And in future, itβs not gonna take this long. πͺπΌπ
Itβs just because we have 57,000 added at the moment, and only the first time a cruise is added, it needs checking. If someone else has added it and then you add it later, itβll already be there. ππ₯³
The data gets better and better as we get closer to modern day. So in future, it wonβt take that long at all, but I wanted to explain if youβre waiting for any of your cruises, if youβre waiting for the data to be checked, we are on it, I promise, and please keep sharing because it is so fun to see these. πβοΈ
I have seen some amazing examples. ππ
Please keep adding your cruises to the Cruise Globe. It is a website thatβs completely free to use. Weβve created it for you, and itβs just so much fun. So thank you so much, everybody. ππΌππΌ
