What is the difference? "No narratives"

There's a resort shop that is advertising "No narratives." Wow! Can it be true? That depends. What is the difference between a "narrative" and the "detailed commentary" required?

Now scheduling travel shops for the day after Christmas through mid-January.

Hhaha...good question. If you have to give commentary for a dozen or so questions, isn't that just as painful as a narrative summary?

I think it usually means every question might need an explanation:..

Example: Was the restroom clean and well stocked? Please explain how it was clean and stocked.

A really great thesaurus! :-)

It's up to me to make me happy.

What I really hate is when you get both of them. Detailed commentaries are first then it's a the narrative sections. I so want to put in the narrative that it has been asked and answered, See Above.

But all that will mean that you will get contacted saying that we need more information in your narratives.

Yeah, that happens with the Yankee Candle reports. The report asks for a commentary on the questions for the section above, and then a few more questions, then the report asks for a narrative of events from start to finish of your visit. I used to write basically the same thing in different words. For the last one, I copied and pasted from one section to the next. It was accepted.

I'm under the impression that you will need to elaborate fully in the comments on any issues you encounter.

I'll take one (actually 2) for the team and let you know how it goes with editorial in June
