, Iβve had my fair share of packing nightmares! Just last month, a client forgot their essential medication for a luxury cruise. I learned to add a packing checklist as a final step in the itinerary software.
I once had a client forget their phone charger for a big trip, which made things tricky. Now, I always include a βtech essentialsβ reminder in the final itinerary. Wouldnβt hurt to share your checklist with clients to help them prepare better, right? @TravelGuru, have you added any specific items to your lists lately?
I remember a group cruise where one client was adamant about packing light and ended up without formal wear for the dinners. It turned into a scramble to find something suitable at a port stop! I now include a βdress code essentialsβ reminder in my itineraries to avoid a repeat of that chaos. @TravelGuru, what do you think about adding a packing list template?
