Guest conversationVoice
GUEST

We loved our midship balcony last time. Can we find something similar for February?

WITHQ

I can help narrow that down. Which sailing dates are you considering, and how many guests will be traveling?

01 / THE SITUATION

Help guests choose the right starting point for a sailing.

“A balcony cabin for two on a Caribbean sailing.”

Q’s illustrated cruise ship

Cabins & reservations.

Capture sailing dates, party size, cabin preferences, and change requests. Check connected inventory or send a complete inquiry to reservations.

Pre-cruise plans.

Help guests navigate dining, spa, and shore-excursion questions before departure. Route requests according to your booking windows and policies.

Returning guests.

Use available guest history and confirmed preferences to inform the conversation. Ask for missing details instead of making the guest start over.

GROUPS & CHARTERS

Give sales a real inquiry.
Not another callback note.

Q gathers preferred sailings, group size, cabin needs, and event requirements so your sales team can start with a useful brief.

CONNECTED TO HOW YOU WORK

Start shoreside.
Build around your systems.

01

Choose a starting point.

Begin with cabin inquiries, after-hours coverage, or pre-cruise guest questions. Define what Q should resolve and what your team should receive.

02

Map the actions.

Review your reservation and guest systems. Set the rules for reading availability, placing a hold, requesting a change, or handing off.

03

Prove the handoff.

Test exceptions with your team. A hold, a request, and a confirmed booking stay distinct, with the right person responsible for the next step.

A few details
before departure.

Is this for shoreside or onboard teams?

This page focuses on shoreside guest service and reservations before sailing. Onboard operations would need separate discovery and integration scoping.

Can Q confirm a cabin booking?

That depends on your reservation system, live inventory, and configured permissions. Q can complete supported actions or send the details to reservations. A hold is not a completed booking.

Does Q handle more than phone calls?

Q supports voice, web chat, SMS, WhatsApp, and email. We’ll scope the channels and handoffs that fit your shoreside operation.

What happens with cancellations or special requests?

Q follows your policies and routes exceptions to the responsible team with the request context. Changes that need approval remain pending until confirmed.

Which cruise reservation systems do you connect to?

We’ll review your specific reservation, guest, and sales systems during discovery. Available actions are scoped to those integrations before a pilot; this page does not imply compatibility with every cruise platform.
