Output

Each record is a single sailing with:

• Cruise and itinerary identifiers (cruise_id, itinerary_id)
• Ship name (parsed from #@# delimited composite fields)
• Departure/arrival ports, sailing dates, duration in nights
• Lowest available per-person price with currency
• Ports of call with day numbers
• Dynamic cabin-price fields: price_{CURRENCY}_{CABIN}_anonymous_d (e.g., price_USD_VN_anonymous_d)
• source_url — direct booking link
• platform, company, locale

Price sentinels:

• 0.0 = sold out
• -1.0 = unavailable / not offered on this sailing

Notes

• Prices are per-person, double-occupancy

• Each Solr doc represents one sailing (no itinerary → sailing flattening needed)
• Pagination uses Solr start/rows (not pageNumber/pageSize)
