Congrats on the launch! I'm curious to find out how exactly is AI helpful for such a niche. The best comparison I can find is skyscanner. Don't get me wrong, Cruisen is not the skyscanner for cruise ships, the rabbit hole is much deeper, especially with things like the Cruisen Points which seems like credit card rewards which is great!
@glen_dsouza_1 Two ways! The first is that the AI has the internet of knowledge at it's fingertips, so it's very easy to ask things like "Hey, what's the best cruise line for families?" - for example. The second is that we're constantly improving our AI and our goal is to be able to ask it to find specific cruises that you may be interested in - say you want to say "Find me the best family cruise for under $1,000 per person." In both cases, we look to enhance traditional cruise advising - since the cruise purchase process is often confusing.

@reidwilliams1 That's actually quite helpful, thanks for the clarification.
Hey Reid,
What specific pain points in the current cruise booking process are you aiming to solve with Cruisen?
How does the AI component enhance the booking experience compared to traditional methods?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin There are several. The first is that the cabin selection process is usually completely backwards to how people think. Cruise lines and agencies often ask you several qualifying questions before determining where you might want to be on the boat, often limiting what you can see when you go to select a room. We get all the boat's inventory up front, show it to you, and then let you filter down to see exactly what you want to see. Secondly, we have really embraced the social nature of cruises, by giving groups the ability to take their planning out of the group chat - things like "liking" a cruise, chatting, and collaborating on where you want to go and where on the boat you are really simplify the group booking process.
Just downloaded and can't wait to book my first cruise! I love the UI and the AI navigator seems really cool! The 10k bonus points are a nice perk too. Congrats to the team on the launch!
