Another week another visit. On Friday we had Michael McGrath TD onboard. Everyone who has visited us so far have been very impressed with the Julia. The main feedback we are getting is the very spacious public areas & the amount of Restaurants/Bars we have onboard.
It has been a funny week for me personally. We are getting close to going live with our prices. What some people may not know is that behind the prices you see online can be a very complex backend booking engine. These are more commonly known as Extranets.
I have come across many Extranets in my time but each has its own way of doing things. Most of this week was spent tweaking, testing & a bit of screaming (at myself) More testing (screaming) to come next week.
I am also getting up to speed with shipping terms. When I worked in Hotels I could tell you every Bank & School holiday 2 years out. I think I am getting the same way with tides. Rising tides, low tides you name it.
The Coop are considering some great ideas for some of our shop spaces onboard the Julia. Produce of Cork. Onboard Farmers Market. Watch that space. Watch this space.
Interesting facts of the Julia
The Julia has seven bars & restaurants that offer a fantastic selection of fine food & drink as you cruise across the Irish Sea in style.
