What you should know about group cruising.
First & foremost: it’s fun!
You know all the fun and laughter that happens when you go to dinner with your 3 best friends, right?! Can you imagine what it’s like to spend 4 to 7 to 10 days with a group of 20 or more people? In addition, your children will have friends their age as well. OK, so maybe you don’t have “20 best friends,” but your friends & relatives invite their friends & relatives and look….you have a FUN group!
What’s so special about cruising in a group?
You can have quiet quality time with your own family AND you can have quality time with old friends and new friends. You dine & wine together; share funny stories; sing Karaoke; dance; take exciting excursions; and don’t forget the memorable pictures. There’s so much more for you and the kids that there’s not enough space to list them.
How many passengers make a group?
Just 8 cabins and you have a group. With the luxury cruise lines, it’s less.
What are the benefits of a group reservation?
Extra value – cruise fare savings, extra amenities such as complimentary wine and shipboard credit.
Convenience & worry-free vacation – imagine traveling to different destinations without packing & unpacking; where to eat and what time; how to drive/fly to the next destination; or filling up the gas tank. There’s so much to enjoy – all you can eat; lounge around the pool; hit the casinos; enjoy nightly entertainment and shows.
How far out do I start my planning?
Just like any other vacation, advance planning is critical. The earlier you start to plan the cruise group, the better chances you have at more savings, more amenities, better selection & location of cabins. The best part is, any reduction in pricing from the cruise line (prior to final payment), can be adjusted.
So let’s get started.....
