I want to cruise for free too!

How do I gauge interest to start a group cruise? Am I allowed to start a post here to gauge interest for a particular cruise?

I think you need a really long signature.

I would think that would qualify as advertising so no

I want to start an official Cruise Critic Member Cruise, so that can't be illegal.

 

Nunu, I'm even willing to let my signature take half a page!

You can turn other's signatures off? But then how do you know how many cruises they have and how qualified they are to answer questions here?

I have it open, but number 1 confused me. How do I find out if I have the people discussed in number 1?

I think I am confused. Number 1 in the how to start a group says find folks that are interested, but it has to be official. Seems like circular logic, what am I missing?

 

1. Pick a Ship and Itinerary

See how many people are interested in joining you by posting on the specific cruise line forum (official cruises only).

Yeah....that confused me as well.

 

I've never been on a group cruise, but this is what I've seen here -

 

You pick a ship/itinerary and several dates. Start a thread and see if anyone's interested.

 

Once everyone's settled on a date, then you can get in touch with Laura.

 

Hopefully, someone who's been a group leader will come along shortly with more help.
