“So I spoke to her on Wednesday and then it's Friday and nothing was charged to my account. So it's telling me that she didn't do it.”
Process the $1,163 premier upgrade charge today as promised, and send updated invoices to Roy by end of business Friday. Confirm receipt and set a calendar reminder to follow up Monday morning to verify the charge posted and invoices arrived, especially given the tight four-day window before departure.
Full analysis
What happened
Roy called regarding a stalled upgrade transaction. He had previously spoken with Kelly (Taylor's colleague) on Wednesday to arrange a premier upgrade for $1,163 but no charge appeared on his account by Friday. Roy expressed frustration that the two-day turnaround was too slow, especially given his ship departure in four days. Taylor apologized for the miscommunication about Kelly's involvement, clarified the upgrade tier (premier vs. princess plus), and offered to process the charge herself immediately rather than waiting until Monday. Roy agreed, thanked Taylor, and the call ended on a positive note with Taylor promising new invoices.
Emotional read
Roy started somewhat frustrated and impatient about the delayed payment processing, expressing concern that nothing had been charged to his account after speaking with Kelly on Wednesday. His tone warmed noticeably when Taylor offered to process the charge personally that same day rather than waiting until Monday, moving from skeptical to cooperative and appreciative.
Emotional arc through the call
Roy began frustrated and skeptical about the delayed charge, but warmed considerably and became appreciative when Taylor committed to processing the payment herself immediately rather than delaying to Monday.
How customer sees Pavlus
- negative · frustrated that Kelly called without advance notice from Taylor; found the delay in payment processing unacceptable—'it shouldn't take two days'
- positive · appreciated Taylor's apology for not giving heads-up about Kelly's call; expressed gratitude when Taylor offered to handle the charge personally the same day
Process friction
- payment not processed after customer spoke with agent Kelly on Wednesday; no charge appeared by Friday
- customer was transferred to a different agent (Kelly) without apparent advance notice, causing confusion when she called
- upgrade tier miscommunication—customer uncertain whether he authorized 'princes plus' or 'premier'
Value perception
Not explicitly stated. Roy appeared to assume Pavlus was handling the upgrade and payment as part of their service, but did not comment on value versus direct booking.
