Creator's Key Takeaways

when you book a certain amount of cabins on a cruise ship then the cruise line will give you certain benefits

the absolute most important thing when it comes to planning and having a successful group cruise and something you do not want to neglect doing is to communicate the expectations for this group cruise

i actually have a blog post all about matching cruise t-shirts for families for couples for groups so i will leave that linked below in the description

if you are 50 people or more they will customize an excursion for you so that is something really good if you're part of a larger group

Plan and book early, ideally 8 to 12 months before the cruise
Use a travel agent to help with payments, documentation, and changes
Set up a Facebook group for information sharing and excitement
Communicate expectations for the group cruise before anyone books
Consider splitting the free cabin benefit among everyone for specialty dining or onboard credit
