Pay less and enjoy the added value of a group cruise...
It's easy when you cruise as a group!
What is a Cruise Group?
You only need 8 double occupancy staterooms to qualify as a group with special prices and amenities. You're not limited to 8 staterooms. A group cruise is a great way to reunite family and friends. Bring everyone together in a fun and relaxed atmosphere of a cruise ship. The price of your cruise includes all meals, snacks, plus 24-hour room service, entertainment, activities, accommodations, health and fitness club. A cruise ship visits many different ports of call offering adventure upon every new day. Group cruising is the best value for the money and a group cruise has added value!

Bonus Amenity Points- The cruise lines assign a certain number of "points" to each sailing of each ship in their fleet. The number of points range from 0 to 8 or more depending on the ship and sail date. More points are assigned to sailings that the cruise line wants to have more group space on. Summer sailings have few or no points as the cruise lines know these sailings will sell out without any extra incentive. Fall and winter sailings will have more points as these are months where travel is light.
Group Leader- Also known as a "Tour Conductor Credit" pretty much all groups are eligible for this as long as they have a minimum of 8 cabins. That attained, at time of final payment the group is granted a credit equal to the amount of one passenger's cruise fare, not including taxes and Gov't fees.. How that is calculated varies between cruise lines. Some figure it as an average of all cabins sold. Others will use the category you have the most cabins booked in. The Group Leader solely decides what to do with this money.
Example: Sally sells 8 cabins /balconies (double occupancy) at a rate of $ 729.00 + $214.00 taxes and fees. The Cruise Line determines Sally's Free Berth amount as $ 600.00 Apx.( this amount is after the Travel Agent receives their commissions ) to be applied to her cabin. The more cabins sold in increments of 8 makes Sally's cruise portion free.
So as you see the more cabins you sell, the more money you make to create your free cruise. ( Berth monies are determined by every 8 cabins sold. )
Cruise Lines define a group cruise as a minimum of 16 people occupying eight cabins (third and fourth passengers in a cabin are allowed, but they do not count toward the total). The 16th person (the tour conductor) cruises free. However, free passengers must pay taxes and port charges (and, of course, airfare to the port, if needed).
TroubleMaker Tours will work with the Group Leader to achieve the most in Free Berth monies through promotional efforts, Such as fliers, website and cruise forums.
