Report: https://directindex.org/r/cruiseline.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:_incapsula_). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $85.09.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $77.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Already right

- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Tickets on your own site.** Agents can buy tickets without going through a marketplace.
