| OVERVIEW |
 | One
of our expert group cruise consultants will help you every step of the way. From
the planning and recruitment stages to making reservations, the average booking
process for groups takes about 30 – 45 days. Most groups need 10 – 25
staterooms, sometimes uniting people from all over the U.S. and the world. We'll
provide you with all the resources you'll need to motivate, educate, and recruit
members. As the group leader, you'll need to decide on a departure date, itinerary
length, and budget that will be convenient for most of the people in your recruitment
pool. To find the best fit, your group cruise consultant will need to identify
your group type and special needs. |
| BUILDING YOUR GROUP |
 | Perhaps you don't have a well-defined group yet. You'll need to network to recruit enough members to enjoy the full benefits of a group. First, make a list of communities that you interact with — no matter how frequently or infrequently. Would your department at work be interested in a team-building trip? Do you belong to a health club? Maybe you play bingo at the local church every Sunday. Are you part of a town planning committee that meets once a month? Or, perhaps you join other parents to watch your children's soccer games? You'll be surprised by how many groups you know. Of course, you can always just invite everyone and call it a "friends and neighbors" cruise! Next, determine the number of people from this community (or from all your communities!) that might be interested and able to join you for a group cruise getaway. Remember — a group is considered a reservation with 8 or more staterooms, normally with at least two passengers per stateroom. Be sure to ask about larger staterooms that can accommodate a third or fourth passenger. Finally,
you'll need to present your great idea to everyone in your community. Trust us
— people love receiving invitations, especially to unique celebrations in
exotic locations! And we'll provide you with all the professional recruitment
materials you'll need. |
| BOOK IT! |
 | Reservations
with 8 or more staterooms are considered a group. The choice is yours: reserve
the staterooms all together on the same deck or scatter your party's accommodations
across the ship. Many staterooms can accommodate a third or fourth passenger,
sometimes at a reduced rate. Group cruises also frequently enjoy special onboard
amenities — ask for details. You must book your staterooms with one of our
expert group cruise consultants — call us today to get started! |
