Choice of items for Group?

I have one point left.... Which is the biggest bang for your buck?

 

Anyone know what size the bottle of champagne is?

It's a regular bottle of champagne.

 

We always get the cocktail party, but we get plenty of "bang for the buck" with an hour of free drinks :p

I think it depends on your group and what everyone wants based on likes/dislikes. I have provided all of the above to various groups, but again, based on what THEY perceive as the best "Bang for your buck" as you say. Talk to your group and see what interests them the most I say.

[Tara&Jas]

Thanks for the advice... I have a set up a poll in my group :)

 

I bet we could get our money's worth out of free drinks for an hour as well though! ;)

How many staterooms must you book to qualify for these perks?

You have to book as a group, and have at least 8 cabins (double occ), and then it will depend on how many points that particular sailing has...

We had the same dilemma and chose the shared cocktail party. The wine would have been nice, but how do you choose red or white? And some people don't drink wine at all, same with champagne. We thought with the price of drinks on the ship, an hour's worth of free drinks could go quite a long way ... drink fast everybody. :D

Thanks! I think I can easily get more than 8 cabins together for a group cruise on the Fantasy this summer. I'm going to look further into it now!

Definitely check it out. Not all cruises will have points, but you can use them for OBC, cocktail parties, champagne, photos, etc.

Where do you check it out at? How do you tell which cruises offer points?

Whoever you are booking your group with will be able to tell you :)

Not booking a group cruise - just wondering about it. I'll google it - thanks anyway.

A travel agent would have to tell you because each sailing has a certain number of group points, I don't think you could find any of that info on the internet. But any TA that does groups should be able to tell you...

I agree it depends on the group.

 

I have had a lot of good remarks about the tote bag. It's not some keep bag either.

[Creole Girl]

Our group sailing this summer has the dilema that some drink and some do not. I want to be able to mix the points up so that the entire group will get what they want. Here is what we are having:

 

1. Shared group coctail party

2. Tote bags

3. OBC

 

I have not finalized this with Carnival, but after our final payements this month I will then do that.

[Amlee]

I had one group that doesn't drink(they brought their own hymn books for a private Sunday service in one of their cabins). They were past guest as a group so they had the tote bags already. So I gave them the max on OBC. That way they could purchase their own special gift.

So you need 8 cabins double occupancy to be considered a group? Do "groups" get cheaper rooms? Or just the group perk? So say I had like 5 rooms with 16 people instead of 8 rooms double occupancy would they get the "group" perks? Just wondering. We are going in August '09 havent actually booked the rooms yet. But we have 4 different bookings to co-ordinate. So looks like it might get us close to "group" I think we are looking at 6 rooms so far.:D

Normally you will need 8 rooms double occupancy. (3rd and 4th pax are discounted rates). Talk to a TA ...you can still open a group with what you have and try to get the 8 cabins...the TA may even be able to help you...
