The agent offered to take over the booking but identified that the original planner had not applied an available promotion code (BEV36) that would add gratuities, beverage package, and other shipboard credits at no additional cost.

Customer: Hello. Agent (Lee Alvarez): Hello. Hi Mister blank Myers lee at Pavlus. Quite good. Hey, I've got I can take over this booking. I just have one question because whoever you booked it with did not give you the promotion and once I take it over I can't change it so you do, you, can I, give you the promotion code and can you call biking and make them add it before I take it over cause it's gonna get you the gratuities and the shipboard credit or I'm sorry gratuities and the beverage package and the price of the cruise, everything stays the same. Customer: Hi, lee! How are you? Customer: Yeah, let's, let's do it. Agent (Lee Alvarez): Okay. Alright. So, the promo code is B-E-V. 36. Agent (Lee Alvarez): So yeah, B-E-V 36 so call them right now and, and just tell them make them add it. Cause I'm looking and there's still space, so as long as there's still space in your category which there's four rooms left, they'll add it, they probably will have to cancel it and rebook it.
