Can you provide an example of a time when you went above and beyond to meet a client's special request?

One example of a time when I went above and beyond to meet a client's special request was when a couple wanted to celebrate their anniversary onboard a cruise ship. They had specific requirements, such as a private balcony, a romantic dinner, and a surprise gift. I spent hours researching different cruise lines and packages to find the perfect option for them. I contacted multiple cruise lines to inquire about their anniversary celebration offerings and ensured that all their requests would be fulfilled. I personally arranged for the couple to have a private balcony room with a beautiful view, made a reservation for a romantic candlelight dinner at a specialty restaurant, and arranged for a surprise anniversary gift to be waiting in their cabin upon arrival. The couple was thrilled with the attention to detail and personalized experience. They expressed their gratitude and wrote a glowing review of my service.
