Editorial Summary

The creator discusses her frustration regarding a recent Princess Cruises seminar intended for travel agents. The webinar was advertised as a session to explain Princess Plus and Premiere enhancements, providing necessary details for agents to answer client questions. However, the creator notes that the majority of the hour-long call focused on basic training for the Polar Online booking engine, covering elementary tasks like adding birthdays. She expresses disappointment that the cruise line ignored specific questions in the chat regarding pricing changes, the rebranding of casual dining, and the lack of grandfathering for existing bookings. While the cruise line eventually addressed the benefits of the new packages in the final ten minutes, the creator felt they avoided the difficult questions agents actually needed answered. Despite her anger toward the company's communication style and lack of transparency, she concludes that she will continue to sell Princess cruises because she still values the ships, staff, and overall product.
