Do I need to be technical to use this?
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. Setup takes about five minutes and is mostly copy and paste (step-by-step guide). After that, you just chat. No commands, no codes.
Where do I get an API key?

Yes, and that’s normal for a Copilot setup. Everyone on that key sees the same cruise lines. If teams need different access, ask for a key each.

Why didn't I see every sailing?
Why didn't I see every sailing?
A search returns up to 35 of the best matches. Broad searches like “Caribbean 2027” can match hundreds.Narrow the brief by month, cruise line, departure port or duration, and you’ll see what you’re looking for.
The assistant says a cruise line isn't available. Why?
The assistant says a cruise line isn't available. Why?
Your API key only covers the cruise lines your agency is set up to sell.Ask “Which cruise lines can I sell?” to see your list. If something’s missing, contact your account manager.
What currency are prices in?
What currency are prices in?
GBP (£), per person. “From” prices are the lowest available fare for each cabin type.
Is a '10 day' cruise 10 nights?
Is a '10 day' cruise 10 nights?
No. The assistant quotes nights, as the UK trade does. A 9-night cruise spans 10 days, including disembarkation day.
Can I trust the prices?
Can I trust the prices?
They come from live inventory at the moment you ask. Fares change, so always confirm price and availability with the cruise line before booking.For an older quote, ask: “Is this quote still valid?”
A region search came back empty, but I know sailings exist
A region search came back empty, but I know sailings exist
Try the specific name rather than the continent. River and specialist regions are named in their own right, so “Nile” finds Nile sailings where “Africa” may not.If you’re unsure, ask “What regions can I search?”
The assistant quoted a fare that doesn't exist any more
The assistant quoted a fare that doesn't exist any more
Ask it to check again and say which sailing and cabin grade the figure belongs to. Answers should come from Widgety data, not the assistant’s general knowledge, and retired fares sometimes come from the latter.Confirm with the cruise line before you quote, and tell us if it happens so we can tighten it up.
Can I search for expedition cruises?
Can I search for expedition cruises?
Yes, but only some cruise lines label their sailings as “expedition” in their data.For lines that don’t, search by ship or cruise line name instead, for example a named Silversea expedition ship.
Privacy and security
Does the AI assistant see my API key?
Does the AI assistant see my API key?
Not when you connect through the browser sign-in. You paste your key on a Widgety page, and it authorises the connection once.
Are my clients' details stored?
Are my clients' details stored?
Only if you ask the assistant to remember a client. Say “Forget [name]” to delete them at any time.
Can Widgety see my conversations?

Widgety records which tools were used and the search terms, so we can support you and improve the service. We don’t store your chat, and your API key is never stored in readable form.
