If a tool disappears, we record the date.
comparesailings
compareSailings
Compare 2–3 specific sailings side by side: dates, ports, price and price per night, price verdict against the six-month average, ship age and size, family suitability, rating with review count and CDC inspection score. Takes sailing ids from searchCruises.
getbesttimetovisit
getBestTimeToVisit
Month-by-month average temperature and rainfall for a cruise port, region or destination, with the warmest and driest months. A place with very different sub-regions returns a list to choose from.
getcabindetail
getCabinDetail
One specific cabin by ship and room number: deck, side and position, category with size and how many it sleeps, connecting cabin, known issues (obstructed view, noise, long walk) and what cruisers who stayed there said. "No issues recorded" is not a guarantee of none.
getcruisedirector
getCruiseDirector
Who is the cruise director on a Carnival or Royal Caribbean ship today, on a date or on one sailing, with who is next; or which ship a named director is on and where next. With a sailing (sailingId, or ship plus sail date) it also links that sailing's roll call page, where cruisers booked on it meet. From Gangwaze's own schedule, which can change.
getcruiselineprofile
getCruiseLineProfile
One cruise line: who it is best and not for, descriptions by traveler type, ratings with review counts, attribute ratings, tier (mainstream, premium, luxury, river) and fleet size.
getdeckplan
getDeckPlan
Where things are on a ship, from its deck plans: whether a ship has a venue or facility and which deck it is on (pass venue, e.g. "pizza", "theater", "Windjammer"), with forward/midship/aft and port/starboard; what is on one deck (pass deck, e.g. "10"); or, with neither, the ship's decks with a few venues each. Every answer links the deck plan pages. Venue records are not complete: a venue that isn't listed is not recorded, not missing.
getdresscode
getDressCode
A cruise line's dress code: overall style, daytime and evening rules, formal nights and how often, jeans/shorts/swimwear rules, venue rules and theme nights.
getdrinkpackages
getDrinkPackages
Beverage-package details by cruise line: package names, maximum drink value, daily limits and gratuity.
getportexcursions
getPortExcursions
Bookable shore excursions and resort day passes in a cruise port, with price, duration, rating and a link. Pass activity (e.g. "scuba", "ATV tours") to narrow to that kind of excursion, with its total, and minPrice/maxPrice to narrow by price. To narrow an earlier answer by price, call again with the same port and activity plus the price. For every port of one sailing, use getSailingExcursions.
getportguide
getPortGuide
Guide to a cruise port: what it is like, where it is, things to do, beaches, shopping, terminals, safety score, wifi and car rental.
getpricedrops
getPriceDrops
The biggest current cruise price drops: cabin type, current and average price, percent dropped, sail date and a booking link.
getpricehistory
getPriceHistory
Judge one sailing's current fare: six-month price history, average, percent above or below it, a verdict, and whether it is on today's price-drop list. Takes a sailing id from searchCruises.
getsailingexcursions
getSailingExcursions
Shore excursions for every port of one sailing in one call, in itinerary order: hours ashore at each port, up to three picks that fit the time ashore (with an hour to spare before all aboard) and each port's total. Pass a sailing id from searchCruises, or ship plus sail date. activity and minPrice/maxPrice narrow every port. Use this instead of calling getPortExcursions once per port.
getshipcabins
getShipCabins
A ship's cabins grouped by type (inside, ocean view, balcony, suite): categories, cabin counts, size range, how many they sleep, and the line's guarantee categories.
getshipposition
getShipPosition
Where a ship is right now: in port (and when it leaves), at sea between two ports (how far across, next arrival), or between sailings, with the stops coming up, approximate coordinates, and links to its tracker map and sailing. Estimated from the sailing's schedule and charted route, not a live GPS or AIS feed: exact at each port call, estimated between ports. Times are port local time.
getshipprofile
getShipProfile
One ship: year built and refurbished, size, guests and crew, cabin counts, rating and attribute scores, family suitability, CDC inspection score, venues and editorial. For whether a ship has a venue and which deck it is on, use getDeckPlan; for where it is right now, getShipPosition; for its cruise director, getCruiseDirector.
searchcruises
searchCruises
Search upcoming cruise sailings by destination, region, dates, length (nights "lo:hi"), cruise line, ship, departure port, ports of call, cabin type, budget, family fit and more. Pass the full filter set; omitted fields are unfiltered. Returns the match count, cheapest fare, top lines, the 10 soonest-departing sailings (results are always soonest first; each has an id for compareSailings/getPriceHistory) and a link to the full results on gangwaze.com.

Gangwaze Cruise Tools — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Gangwaze Cruise Tools do?
It exposes 17 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compareSailings, getBestTimeToVisit, getCabinDetail, getCruiseDirector, getCruiseLineProfile, getDeckPlan and 11 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Gangwaze Cruise Tools working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 92 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 310 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Gangwaze Cruise Tools as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Gangwaze Cruise Tools?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Gangwaze Cruise Tools need an API key?
No. Gangwaze Cruise Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 17 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Gangwaze Cruise Tools?
It answers our handshake in 310 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
