Planning window

Guest experience
For guests, the difference is felt in pace: where people sit, how lunch is handled, where swimming fits, and how the return feels. CHRONOS should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic

Broker caveat
Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For CHRONOS, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
