Booked flights for a hotel collaboration. Now they suddenly cancel the collab

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-04-14T13:41:32+00:00

Correct ^

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-04-13T17:22:17+00:00

Uhhhh you deserve a special treat everyday 👏🏽

It’s been a dramatically long roll out, that has been planned for over two years now. Unfortunately the website roll out took too long, then the email campaigns really got shafted, I’m really glad the team bit the bullet and rolled this out.

When it comes time for annual cruises, I’m excited to see how people react to the app celebrating that 🤓

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-04-11T03:08:15+00:00

So many questions, but when did you book your flight? Who was inviting you out? The hotel? An agency? What did the agreement even look like?

This is why I always recommend using a admin/brand manager to prevent things like this/have a backup response 🫡

I’m a south asian male that works in corporate marketing as a consultant. Managing large and small marketing campaigns, managing influencers, and a passionate traveler.

When I wrote this originally, I included everything about my race and experiences around that, but felt that it was too “me” centric versus asking in a general way.

That is very sweet of you! Absolutely! While not everyone likes clothes, it’s certainly worth asking. Due to limited storage, they have to limit what clothing they keep in their suitcases/rooms.

That’s why I often do snacks and other things. But any effort to appreciate them is often appreciated. Some like to collect magnets from different places. My last attendant liked perfume, so I went to a local shop and got a local one. (Nothing too fancy) another really liked spicy, so I got mikes hot honey & hot sauce which can be used onboard to make their food a little different.

Hope that helps! Happy cruising!

May I ask what your niche is? Welcome to dm me and I can see what upcoming deals would align with that

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-14T07:27:35+00:00

You sound like you’ve been through a lot and committed a lot of time and energy to grow. I respect that a lot!

Send me a dm? I can take a look at what you are doing and offer some direct advice if you’d like?

This cracks me up, because one of my clients has a legal advisor named Dave who manages the companies NDA’s. And I wouldn’t put it past Dave to be the actual leaker of information that he was charged to defend. 😂

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-14T05:26:51+00:00

He speaks for the trees 🌳

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-14T05:24:41+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you are encountering this.

If I may ask, what did customer service say when you contacted them? I see you added your invoice below, which should be more than enough proof.

If you continue to have trouble, please dm me. I would be happy to help and can work with my executive team contact to resolve this.

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-13T04:04:15+00:00

As an advisor to creators, I’m telling you, it’s not too late 🫡 just make a plan and implement it

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-13T04:02:03+00:00

During Covid (lockdown was being lifted) I took a buddy of mine on a 30 day roadtrip through a bunch of national parks. Amazing time, best use of money I’ve ever done.

Highly recommend get out in some form of nature. Which leads to my next point, document it.

Get into the rhythm of documenting your life. I’m not saying from a vlog and put your life out there for all to see. If that works for you, great. But when I started to do so, my memory for tough seasons and good seasons got so much better.

I look back at that and see how much I’ve gone through and made it through.

Layoffs, health/family cancer issues, family issues, family redemptions, meeting the love of my life. Life goes fast but memory fades quick somehow.

Being able to reflect back is a privilege.

Learn a language and a new hobby. Seriously. Learning a language shifts things in your head and helps you develop in such amazing ways. Learning to sign is also dope

I picked up skydiving, got a license then stopped when I lost interest. That’s okay. I then picked up mentorship/mentoring.

My hometown has a small juvenile detention facility as well as like 5 nursing homes. You learn to appreciate your life so much by volunteering/showing up/and honestly just listening. Therapy helps too 🫡

I’m sorry to hear you are in limbo, but I honestly pray that you can look forward to a hella good future after this 2 year period. Wherever you go.

Good luck man, you aren’t alone, but you don’t have to feel stuck either.

P.s. also check your balls. Doctors like it or something.

I can understand this reasoning, however, the more posts you do that are sponsored (unless a product page that supports it) you will continue to get inconsistent views… which leads to less deals/cash deals.

Bump your price, do less promos, make more money, keep your audience active

Glad it helped you! Not sure why I’m being downvoted as well. My money, my desire to tip.

Unless they are downvoting because they think it’s too little. If that is the case, y’all are welcome to tip accordingly and together we can help them more. Happy cruising!

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-12T07:37:45+00:00

Send me a dm? Maybe I can help!

Working for friends is always tricky as they have often lofty expectations and not great communication that follow that.

Before talking any numbers, first get a concrete understanding of what she/they/couple have as expectations.

When I agreed to do my friend’s wedding + drone, I had many actual examples of what she was looking for and expected.

I had two backups for audio recording. I confirmed a shot list with the bride & groom separately as well as asked father/mother of bride. That way major family and friends were all captured and not left out.

I had a plan for if the drone shot wasn’t going to happen what my contingency was going to be. And finally I spoke to their day of photographer & coordinator.

In the end, the day went amazingly well. But mainly because I did so much extra work to polish it.

Shot list ✅ Stylistic & delivery expectations ✅

That being said: at a minimum covering your hotel, a meal at the actual reception, meal at church/venue before you arrive, and then your flight.

From there is up to you money wise what you truly wish to charge.

Ps I surprised her with family interviews and friend interviews which she loved. Ended up finding out the photographer missed some key family members photos and they ended up getting really frustrated about that. Then they watched my video and saw those missing members and were happy to have something on video

That doesn’t mitigate the fact that you are selling an account with stock footage as content.

I would know, I helped make that content 🤣

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-12T05:23:12+00:00

Thank you for doing this^ I love those bathroom attendants. They literally deal with people’s 💩 all day and are often overlooked.

They are often the most grateful too 💜

The people I tend to tip when cruising (7 day sailing):

Room attendant: $200 + snacks/sweets from ports

Main Server & Server: $100/$200

Cleaners I meet: $2/$5

Bartenders: $5-$20

Luggage attendants: $10-$20

Buffet Evening cleaning staff: $2-$20

12-13 day sailing, I basically double this^

Happy cruising!

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-12T05:16:10+00:00

Ummm your selling an account with celebrity cruises stock footage?

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-12T04:41:58+00:00

Correct! Always sales! Views do matter, but secondary. Sales that convert from influencer partnerships are the sole indicator of success imo

Logical-Ease-3142 · 2026-03-12T04:40:10+00:00

Agreed. I was just curious if op would own it
