We’ve been negotiating for months, and honestly, it got weird.
Imagine a squad of former coppers-turned-travel-agents sitting across from cruise executives like it’s a full-blown interrogation:
“Tell us where you’re hiding the discounts.”
We brought charts. We brought coffee. I even threatened to deploy the “disappointed mom voice.” But we did it. We squeezed, bartered, and “let’s circle back”-ed our way to the absolute best deal for our 2027 sailing.
In the end, they cracked - hard. And that’s how we walked out with the kind of all-inclusive deal that could make even the grumpiest night-shift veteran crack a smile.
