Task: Cruise Pricing

This task provides the costs associated with the selected cruise package and cabin, as well as selected cruise features and options. Prices can be provided as by total package or per passenger.

Section 1: Short Answer

Transaction Name:

CruisePricing_1_0

Can any other transactions perform this same task?

No other transaction can perform this same task.

Can this task be performed in a sessionless environment?

This task can be performed in a sessionless environment.

Are the request and response identical on both the Apollo and Galileo systems?

The request and response are allowed only on Apollo.

Industry-specific knowledge required to understand this task in terms of the specific business process.

Understanding of cruise-industry concepts, such as rate codes, categories, features, and options, is required. Knowledge of Galileo's LeisureShopper product is helpful.

Explain any special limits or distinct restrictions to the input data that may not be readily apparent.

The same user ID that was used to reserve the cabin must continue to be used throughout the booking process.

There is no cruise-industry standard for encoded data such as credit card codes, ports of call, and airports. Always confirm specific data formats with individual vendors.

A number of response fields, such as status codes for dining and other options, are free-form text fields. Vendors may supply non-standard responses for these fields.

Note: For Galileo Web Services client applications only, this transaction must be submitted using the SubmitCruiseTransaction method.

Section 2: Detailed Description

Request

Unless otherwise specified, use ALL CAPS in any request data.

CruisePricing_1_0 has the same request as the following CruiseSellSegment_1_1 transaction, which books the cruise segment. However, with CruisingPricing_1_0, the request is not end transacted and is, therefore, not yet committed to the CRS.

The following elements are sent in the request:

<PNRBFPrimaryBldChgMods>. Identifies required passenger name and contact information.
Note: An actual PNR is not created until the cruise segment is sold. However, the AAA is used to store passenger data during the selection process. A PNR is not created until the cruise data is end transacted to the AAA during booking.
<PNRBFSecondaryBldChgMods>. Identifies passenger descriptions such as gender and passport information.
The <CruisePricingBookingMods> element is sent with the following child elements to price the cruise itinerary:

<VendorRegionMods>. Vendor and cruise information.

<SailingMods>. Ship name, ports, and ship details.

<CabinCategoryAvailMods>. Cabin type, rate, and number.

<PricingBookingDetail>. Pricing-specific request.

<CabinDetails>. Selected cabin and location.

<CabinConfigMods>. Cabin configuration (e.g., king-sized bed).

<FeatureOptionSelected>. Features and options selected in CruiseVerifyAndOptions_1_0.

<PricingBookingDetail>. Pricing-specific request (e.g., type of pricing request, package status, record locator).

<CruiseItin>. Cruise itinerary, including ports of call, dates, and status.

<PastPassengerInfo>. Past passenger number, if passenger has previously traveled with vendor.

<SailingSpecificChoices>. Preferences such as dining and smoking options, travel agent, and booking credit information.

<TransportationDetail>. Selected transportation options for each passenger to or from departure port, or for associated pre- or post-cruise packages.

Prerequisite Tasks

The cabin, passenger information, and features/options must be determined by finalizing the cabin selection using CruiseVerifyAndOptions_1_0.

Expected Response

If the Cruise Name and Cabin Selection transaction completes successfully, the following elements are returned.

<PNRBFPrimaryBldChgMods>. Returns as an empty element because a PNR has not been created.
<PNRBFSecondaryBldChgMods>. Returns as an empty element because a PNR has not been created.
The <CruisePriceBookingDetail> element is returned with the following child elements:

<CruisePrices>. Returns total base price of cruise and total price base on selected or applicable options, discounts, fees, and penalties.

<CruisePricePerPassenger>. Returns cruise prices displayed by individual passenger. A returned rate code indicates that the vendor has changed the rate code to the code indicated. Use the new rate code for any subsequent transactions if you are proceeding with the selected category code. If other preliminary pricing requests are sent, supply the rate code that was used to retrieve the category availability.

<UnavailableItems>. Returns requested items that are not available within the selected cruise package. This field may or may not be returned, depending upon the specific vendor response.

<TextDisplay>. Vendor supplied text such as consumer advice.

<TextMsg>. Free-form text.
