Narrative
Karen called after receiving an automated quote (520490) for a March 22, 2028 Asia cruise on Oceana. She was confused about the cabin category in the original quote and wanted clarification and better pricing. Luke pulled up the details, confirmed she wanted an A3 concierge veranda cabin, and provided a detailed quote: $6,599 per person ($13,198 total for two) with complimentary internet, gratuities, and $300 shore excursion credits per person, plus $1,150 in cashback three weeks before travel. Karen asked about deposit terms ($500 per person) and whether she should hold the booking. Luke offered to put it on hold and send written documentation. Karen deferred commitment pending approval from her travel companion, who is apparently researching other cruise options separately.
How they see Pavlus
+ Karen appreciated Luke's proactive call-back approach: 'It actually says let Luke help you. So that's you. That's weird.' — implying pleasant surprise at personalized service
+ Luke highlighted Pavlus's 9% cashback and referral program as competitive advantages; Karen responded positively ('That's great') to the referral program
+ praised Pavlus for having a great working relationship with Oceana and 'amazing contacts' that make booking easy
+ appreciated the 9% cashback benefit exclusive to booking through Pavlus vs. direct booking
+ impressed by Luke's proactive call to clarify the automated quote and provide better service
· noted the automated quote was unclear: 'it doesn't necessarily come through as clearly as we would like' but accepted Luke's explanation
Process friction they hit
- automated quote was unclear about cabin category (sent ocean view instead of concierge level), requiring agent clarification
- automated quote sent via email listed 'ocean view' cabin type instead of the correct 'concierge level veranda' cabin category, causing customer confusion
