LEtue Posted February 21, 2009 #258 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wow, nice picture! :D I have never sailed up Tracy Lynn Arm to Sawyer Glacier.

From what I have read you were lucky to get that close! Must have been a late season sailing? Actually that was from our SB cruise we took..We went with Adventure Bound on a small boat..The closer we got to the Glacier the more ice was in the water..They actually had to push ice away from the boat with poles..It looked like we were floating in a big slushie...I think the whole trip was about 8 hours long..It was THE BEST THING WE DID out of both the cruises we took..:) Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCCC Posted February 24, 2009 #263 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would be interested in this too but can't commit just yet. Is there any advantage to being a CC group?? Have you definitely decided on Sept? vs July? We would need 1 cabin for 2 (maybe 3 if dd joins us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you definitely decided on Sept? vs July? We would need 1 cabin for 2 (maybe 3 if dd joins us) I would think the benefits would be a lower deposit and a possible on board credit..Maybe a break in the price..I am just guessing as I have never partcipated in a group cruise before..Maybe some of the more experienced group cruisers could shed some light! kellywhitehills 2 cabins Cobraman 3 couples Luckysll Maryandlady CruisefromNY Deborhjo Caltexan 3 couples Nuttycruisegirl Elaina91801 cruisekwazee HeidenLauren 2 maybe 3 cabins Daiseygirl55 Kimmimom Letue Idlenote 2 cabins MexicoVic MargaritavilleMomma 2 cabins iamausmcmom tbtma JBDigitalPhoto dafuser Gizzie (Art) Nic624 vegasvick CruisnMom007 Bill and ETA Crazycath dl7005 2 cabins sixgun and chevellet careyr24 cruisers5 2 cabins Juscaus Leelee9878 woodfaerie wdowns9 cruisinRNfromDenver medic834 (6-8cabins) CruiseElf Morganboys momtoCCC BCFD2357 2 cabins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted February 28, 2009 #269 Share Posted February 28, 2009 With a group cruise there are several advantages..... One is usually a lower deposit of $25 per person. For example, if the normal deposit for a cruise is $300, when you call to book the group cruise, you book a guaranteed category, pay $25 and then a couple of months later (and before the final payment date) you make a second payment and pay $275, which is the balance of the deposit. Only if you want a specific cabin at the time you call (or are a solo cruiser) do you pay the full deposit at the beginning. Another advantage is that the group leader picks some amenities for everyone based on the number of cabins in the group. All sorts of things are available, like an OBC, a private cocktail party or chocolate strawberries and champagne in your cabin, etc. Check out some of the official group cruises out there already to find out what they offer to give you an idea. Most of the group cruises also organize some group events like a cabin/poker crawl or group excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
