Off the Script is an unscripted look at what it actually takes to be a travel advisor. This is the craft, the doubts, and the wins that never make it to a caption. By Melissa Odom, owner of Trouvaille Discoveries, a cruise and travel advisor specializing in Alaska group travel and multi-generational cruise planning for cruise lines like Holland America, Princess Cruises and Virgin Voyages. Each episode is a raw documentary-style conversation about what it takes to be an advisor behind the scenes. It goes into detail about the imposter syndrome that no one names out loud, the moments that clients have that shape how she works, and what it is actually like to sell places that you love for a living.

    Most people assume a travel advisor on a cruise is just enjoying the trip. In this episode, Melissa Odom, owner of Trouvaille Discoveries, goes behind the scenes of creating cruise content as a travel advisor. She explains why people want to see a real person in the destination instead of stock photos, how she researches cabins and builds a shot list for every deck before a trip, and what influencers figured out about capturing attention that advisors are learning now. She also gets honest about the part nobody pictures: it’s a working trip, not a vacation.

    Door Kickers
    2026/10/02

    "You called me because you realized I actually knew what I was talking about — and then you didn't want to book with me." In this episode, Melissa Odom, owner of Trouvaille Discoveries, talks about "door kickers" — her term for the people who seek out an advisor's expertise, take all the research and planning, and then book it themselves or were never serious about booking at all. A candid, sometimes funny look at a frustration most travel advisors deal with but rarely say out loud.
