Before confirming dates
The earlier the request is shaped, the cleaner the shortlist becomes. peak season dates, when cruising area, berth access, and crew availability should be checked early. The broker note should be honest about limits: the final choice should account for weather, berth pressure, and how the group wants to spend time on board.

How to compare it
