Available Tools

search

Purpose: Search the Princess cruise catalog — sailings, itineraries, ports, ships, staterooms, excursions, and promotions — including semantic matching for open-ended requests like "cruises with a glacier hike."

Parameters:

  • query (required): A single read-only PostgreSQL SELECT over the catalog. All filtering, ordering, and semantic matching happen in the query.
  • user_query (optional): The guest's question in their own words. Used to interpret intent and improve result relevance, and retained in aggregate for query-volume reporting. No PII or sensitive data.

Returns: Matching catalog rows — sailing dates, itinerary day-by-day stops, ports, ships, stateroom categories, fares, availability, excursions, and named promotions. Read-only; the connector cannot write, book, or modify anything.

rendering

Purpose: Price selected sailings live and return them as visual cards the guest can browse and click through to Princess.com.

Parameters:

  • voyage_ids (required): Sailing IDs returned by search. Cruises and cruisetours may be mixed.
  • adults (optional): Adults sharing a cabin, 1–4 (default: 2). Occupancy affects which stateroom categories return.
  • cabin_groups (optional): Extra cabin groups beyond the lead fare — any of I (Inside), O (Oceanview), B (Balcony), M (Mini-Suite), S (Suite).
  • user_query (optional): The guest's question in their own words. Used to interpret intent and improve result relevance, and retained in aggregate for query-volume reporting. No PII or sensitive data.

Returns: A priced card per itinerary, with departures of the same itinerary grouped into a single entry. IDs not found in the catalog are flagged.

faq_lookup

Purpose: Answer general questions about Princess Cruises policies, onboard experience, and trip planning that aren't tied to a specific sailing.

Parameters:

  • question (required): The guest's question in natural language.
  • top_k (optional): Number of help passages to retrieve, 1–10 (default: 5).
  • user_query (optional): The guest's question in their own words. Used to interpret intent and improve result relevance, and retained in aggregate for query-volume reporting. No PII or sensitive data.

Returns: Relevant passages from Princess Cruises help content.

Data & Privacy

The connector is read-only. It searches the Princess catalog and returns live pricing; it does not create, change, or cancel bookings, and it does not access guest accounts or booking records. Booking is completed by the guest on Princess.com. The optional user_query field carries the guest's question in their own words, which the connector uses to interpret intent and surface more relevant sailings, and which is retained in aggregate for query-volume reporting.
