You can google your ship and date with the words "group" and "charter" to catch some. There used to be a theme cruise finder site that helped. This link shows a partial list of full ship charters, but hopefully you'd be cancelled before seeing yours listed on there! Otherwise, surprise! https://www.cruisetimetables.com/full-cruise-ship-charters.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm originally from NY so I have a guess from the descriptions of their behavior, but they don't strike me as the type of person you would see on a cruise. Hmmmm🤔🤔 There are old posts about this group on the NCL board that would shock you. They have been banned from both NCL and Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted May 15, 2021 #105 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I was on board Queen Mary 2 when a huge group of Amish people where sailing to Europe to learn of the ancestry. Very interessting to watch- and the were all day in full regalia! Even talked to some- so they did not disturb the others in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted May 15, 2021 #106 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I was on Allure when they had a large group aboard. On a sunny Caribbean sea day the closed the solarium at three in the afternoon and kicked everyone out for a group function. That was ridiculous and I put the blame directly on the ship's management. Aside from that I've never really been affected by a group on board a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denamo Posted May 15, 2021 #107 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) We were on the Allure at the same time an Elvis impersonators charter group cruised. It was really quite fun to see the impersonators around the ship. They did a concert in the Aqua Theater. Couldn't go in if not part of the group, but we had a Boardwalk Balcony, so actually saw it. Funniest experience was when one of the impersonators dressed in an Elvis' Hawaiian outfit was on an elevator I was on. He got off, and of course someone in the elevator said...Elvis has left the building. 🤣 He was actually the best impersonator of the bunch at the Aqua Theater concert.

I definitely don’t want to be on a cruise where locations are blocked off that would normally be available to all passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past posts showed some negative behavior during some of their charters. We changed one of our reservations to avoid it - no need to risk having a stressful cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget the post by a woman who had her cross pendant spat on by a teen. Food fights in the buffet, just a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
996turbos Posted May 15, 2021 #111 Share Posted May 15, 2021 My wife and I found out when we got on Harmony that there was a partial charter for children with disabilities. It was a mixed treat. We admired their spirit and enthusiasm. They were for the most part a very sweet and happy bunch. The real issue was with ourselves. Sometimes you would see them and your heart would just melt for them. Over all it was a positive experience and only a few times were there any blocked areas. I'd sail with them anytime. On the subject of Gilligan's Island. I loved Ginger whose name is Tina Louise. My wife of 42 years has a first and middle name that happens to be Tina Louise. Coincidence? I think not! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
