booking a group?

[outerbks]

We have six or seven couples interested in booking as a group for spring '09. Are there any more incentives other return cruisers? Is there a group discount? Do I remember correctly reading here that liquor included pricing is available for groups?:cool:

Too small for a group. At least to get any appreciable benefit.

Usually (8) Cabins will get you special Group Rates & incentives.(Lower Rates, Amenity Points that can be used to purchase a number of gifts &/or services...Wine, Photos, OBC, etc.)

If you book a 10 night cruise, in many cases you get the group perks. There are also many deals out there, as prices seem to be in a downward spiral. Don't limit your self to one cruise line. Do some research and find a TA that specializes in groups and you will get the best deals and service.

You would need 8 cabins to qualify for a free berth. Other than that, you can book a "group" with any amount of cabins and get the "group rate". That rate is sometimes better/worse than other offers that are available (past passenger, military, senior, etc.).

 

For the amenity points, some of the amenities only require 5 cabins to be booked, so you could use the points for those amenities.

 

Hope this gives you a little better understanding of what you could hope to get.
