Quick Trip Entry

Last updated September 21, 2026

Quick Trip Entry is the fastest way to get a sale into JourneyFuse. One window creates the client (if they're new), the trip, the booking, and the deposit, all in one save. Open it from the New menu in the top bar and choose Quick Trip Entry.

Pick the booking type first

The first row of the window is a row of pills: Cruise, Resort, Hotel, Package, Tour and Other. Pick one and the form changes to show only the fields that kind of booking needs. The client, advisor, deposit, final payment and hold fields stay the same whichever type you pick.

TypeWhat you fill in
CruiseShip and sail date, cruise line, confirmation number, embark port, then the cabin: category, cabin number, deck and dining time. Money is the cruise fare plus taxes and port fees, with an optional NCF.
ResortResort name, check-in and check-out (the nights count themselves), room type, number of rooms, package price plus taxes and fees, and the free-cancellation date.
HotelHotel name, check-in and check-out, room type, rooms, and the rate per night. The total works itself out from rate × nights, and you can type over it. Tick Pay at hotel when the client pays the hotel directly.
PackageFor Disney- and Universal-style packages where the resort, tickets and dining are one price: supplier, resort, check-in and check-out, room type, tickets, dining plan, package price and confirmation number.
TourFor a guided tour or activity: operator, tour name, start and end dates, meeting point and meeting time, tour price, the free-cancellation date and confirmation number.
OtherFlights, rail, transfers, car rentals, excursions, insurance and anything else. Choose the kind from the Other menu and fill in the familiar supplier, confirmation number and total cost.

Everything you type lands on the booking itself, in the same places the booking editor shows it, so nothing has to be re-entered on the trip later.

A few details worth knowing:

  • Package tickets and dining plan are saved as pieces included in the package price. They show under "Included in the total price" on the booking and under "Included in this price" on the invoice line, and they are never added to the total. Leave the dining plan blank, or type "None", if there isn't one.
  • A Disney package (Walt Disney Travel Company, or a Disney resort name) marks the trip as a Disney trip, so the Disney tools switch on.
  • A tour is saved as an Activity booking, the type the rest of JourneyFuse already uses for tours. The tour name is the booking's headline, and the meeting point and time show on the itinerary.

Finding the sailing

On Cruise, press Find a sailing next to the ship. Choose the cruise line, then the ship and month, and press Select on the sailing. JourneyFuse fills in:

  • the trip name (for example "Jackson's Disney Magic Cruise")
  • the sail and return dates
  • the destination and embark port
  • the cruise line, matched to your supplier list so its commission rate comes along

When you save, the day-by-day port schedule is added to the booking from the same sailing. You can also just type the ship name if the sailing isn't in the list.

Others on this sailing

Once there's a ship and a sail date, a quiet line under the ship tells you how many other bookings your agency already has on that sailing, for example "4 other bookings in your agency on this sailing". Cancelled bookings aren't counted. Click it to open the full list of everyone on that ship and date in a new tab, the same list the top search shows for a sailing, so you can see who to pull into a group. Advisors see the bookings they can normally see.

Several cabins or rooms on one save

Families often take more than one cabin: two connecting cabins and one next door. On Cruise, press Add cabin under the first cabin. Each extra cabin asks only for what's different: category, cabin number, deck, dining, its own fare and taxes, and Guests. The ship, sail dates, cruise line, ports, hold and confirmation number come from the first cabin. Type a confirmation number on an extra cabin only when the line gave it its own.

On Resort and Hotel, the button is Add room, and each extra room asks for room type, price, confirmation number (if different) and guests.

When you save, every cabin or room becomes its own booking on the trip, just as if you'd added them one at a time:

  • Commission is worked out per booking, from the same rate on each cabin's own fare.
  • The deposit you type is still one deposit for the whole trip.
  • Guests: pick who is in each extra cabin from the trip's travelers. Anyone you don't put in an extra cabin stays in the first one. Leave Guests empty and that cabin lists everyone.
  • On the trip's Bookings tab the cabins show together as one group, and the client's itinerary shows every cabin on the ship card.

The line under the money row adds everything up, for example "3 cabins · Total $9,764.72 · commission $842.00". Remove a row with its ×. Save & enter another clears the extra rows along with the rest of the booking.

Extra cabins aren't offered when you start from a confirmation, because the confirmation's own bookings are imported as they are.

Group numbers and dining parties

On Cruise, under the cabin details, there are two more fields:

  • Group # is the group or TLN number the cabin is booked into, such as "TLN 4471". As you type, a line underneath tells you what will happen: "Adds to TLN 4471 — 6 cabins so far" when your agency already has a group with that number, or "Creates group TLN 4471 on save" when it doesn't. Matching ignores capitals and extra spaces, and a group already on the same sailing is preferred. A new group is a plain group record named after the number, ship and date, with the cruise line as its supplier. It gets no booking page, proposal or client emails.
  • Dining party is who this cabin dines with, such as "Rodriguez". Cabins on the same sailing with the same dining party dine together, even if they're in different groups. It only records it here; it doesn't book dining with the line.

Extra cabins from Add cabin have their own Group # and Dining party. Leave them blank and the cabin uses the first cabin's. Type a different group number to split a cabin into a second group, which is what happens when the first block runs out of cabins. However many cabins share a number, the group is found or created once and every cabin is added to it.

If a group can't be linked, the trip still saves and a message tells you. You can add the cabin later from the booking or from the sailing list. See Group Bookings for the sailing list's group view.

Cruise money: fare, taxes and NCF

Type the Cruise fare and the Taxes & port fees from the confirmation, and the total is worked out for you. If the cruise line lists a non-commissionable fare (NCF), type it in the NCF box: commission is then figured on the fare minus the NCF, exactly as the booking editor does it. A line under the money row shows the total and the figure commission is being worked out on.

Picking the resort

On Resort, Hotel and Package, click into the resort field and your agency's saved resorts (from the Library) are listed first. As you type, matching resorts from the JourneyFuse supplier catalog appear below them. Pick one and its name fills in, and the destination too when the catalog knows where it is and you haven't typed one. If the place isn't listed, just keep typing: whatever you type is saved as the name.

The default type

Each pill has a small star (☆). Tap it and Quick Trip Entry opens on that type every time you use it, on any device. Tap the filled star (★) again to clear it.

If you haven't starred one, the window opens on your agency's default. Owners and admins set that in Settings → Agency & Branding → Defaults → Quick Trip Entry (on a solo account, Settings → My Business → Quick Trip Entry). Choose What we book most there and JourneyFuse picks Cruise, Resort, Hotel, Package or Tour from your agency's recent bookings, so a cruise agency opens on Cruise before anyone has set anything.

A dropped confirmation always wins for that entry: drop a Sandals confirmation while you're on Cruise and the form switches to Resort, because the file says what the booking is.

New clients ask for a birthday

Press + New next to Client, or type a name in the client search and choose Create. A short panel asks for the first name, last name and birthday. The birthday is optional, but it's the one thing that tells two clients with the same name apart.

If you already have clients with that name, they're listed right there with their birthdays, so you can pick the right one instead of creating a duplicate. Once a client is picked, their birthday shows under their name.

When you add travelers under Travelers, you can give each one a birthday too. It's saved with the traveler.

Start from a confirmation

Drop the cruise line's or supplier's confirmation at the top of the window (a PDF, a screenshot, or pasted email text). JourneyFuse sets the booking type, fills in that type's fields, and marks everything it filled with a small AI tag. Check them, change anything that's wrong, and press Create Trip. See AI Booking Import for how the client is matched and how payments are recorded.

Holds

If you're holding a cabin or room without a deposit, fill in Hold expires. Your cabin-hold automation then reminds you before the hold lapses.

More

The fields you only need now and then sit under More:

  • Supplier Workflow. You usually don't need to touch this: it's picked from the cruise line or resort when you save. Choose one only to override it.
  • Pre-tax cost and Commissionable base, for bookings where the supplier pays commission on less than the full price.
  • Client already knows about this trip, which skips the confirmation email, receipts and reminders for a trip that was booked elsewhere.
  • Tags and Notes.

Entering several sales in a row

Press Save & enter another instead of Create Trip. The trip is saved, a message with an Open trip link appears, and the window stays open with the client and booking cleared. The advisor and the booking type stay as they were.

On a cruise, Keep this sailing for the next entry (at the bottom of the window) also keeps the ship, dates, cruise line and ports, which is handy when you're entering a whole group on one sailing.
