Fares move daily: quote the date with the price.",
        "book_url opens this exact sailing on fantasize.net; the person taps Book there to reserve it with Cruisebound (a licensed US cruise seller). The tools do not book or take payment.",
        "best_value ranks by the stronger of two measures: how far each fare sits below the usual price for the same cruise on other dates, else the same ship, line or tier with the same length and region (vs_usual says which), and how far the fare sits under its own typical price over the last 90 days (price_cut, from at least 4 earlier reads). Sailings with neither come after, cheapest per night first."
