Internal Notes

• Cruise relevance remains structurally high because Port Everglades continues positioning pre/post-cruise stays and “extend your stay” behavior, but there was no single standout cruise-date event surfaced as stronger than the live-event cluster in this cycle.
• Brightline is especially useful as a framing device for Miami Beach and Aventura-linked event overflow, not as the hero content item itself.
