What is here and what is worth considering?

Cruise Promenade uses Wikivoyage as the destination layer. See/Do listings stay structured when the guide provides them. When CP has a verified match to a bookable GetYourGuide option, that offer appears separately beneath the attraction instead of being mixed into the destination content.
