Narrative
Curtis called with questions about his upcoming Viking biking cruise to Paris, departing June 27th. He and his wife are arriving June 26th at a different hotel than the land package specifies, and he was uncertain about airport transfer logistics and how to connect with the Viking host. The agent methodically reviewed his booking documents (journey summary, final payment invoice) to clarify: (1) he has a land package with Viking-included transfers to the Hyatt Regency Paris on the 27th; (2) he can contact the front desk or call the ship if needed to locate the host; (3) gratuities and the Silver Spirits beverage package are prepaid; (4) he and his wife each have $150 onboard credits available to spend on the ship; (5) the referral bonus of $500 will be sent a few weeks after they return. All questions were resolved by the end of the call.

|---|---|
| Emotional arc | Curtis began with mild frustration or confusion about confusing emails and unclear registration requirements, but progressively relaxed as Tyler provided clear step-by-step guidance and committed to investigating on his behalf. |
