Who This Is For:
Loyalty members interested in planning a cruise for friends, family, or a small group.

Why It Matters:
Understanding group pricing helps you maximize value and perks for everyone.

How It Works:

  • What’s a Group?
    • Usually 4+ staterooms (8+ guests) booked together.
  • Group Rates:
    • Cruise lines offer special group rates—often lower than individual bookings.
    • Rates are locked in for your group, even if public prices rise.
  • Perks:
    • Onboard credits, free cabins for organizers, private events, or group dining.
  • Deposit:
    • Each guest pays a deposit to secure their spot; deadlines are set for final payment.

Local Insider Tip:
Book early—group space is limited and perks are best when you plan ahead!
