PTO Maximizer
4 days off. 9 nights at sea.
Your Hidden Advantage
Most people treat federal holidays as long weekends. PTO Maximizers treat them as departure days.
Built for teachers stacking school breaks, federal employees with 11 guaranteed holidays, and anyone with a few PTO days saved — read the calendar better and book 60–90 days out.
The U.S. has 11 federal holidays — each one is a paid day you don't have to spend. They become your cruise anchor; build the voyage around them and the calendar works for you.
Use a few strategically placed PTO days before or after to extend the bridge. 1–4 days off can unlock 4–9 nights at sea — without burning your entire leave balance.
Tell Paolo your holiday window, your preferred line, and your budget. He finds the voyage, stacks the perks, and handles every detail — including perks the booking engine won't surface.
