Creator's Key Takeaways

We learned that group cruises rock. We got a ton of benefits on this cruise.

You're you're only booking into the group for the group benefits, right? You don't have to do any group events unless you want to.

I negotiated the top beverage package on this cruise which wasn't included and that was about a $30 per person per day benefit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a travel advisor to find speculative groups that offer built-in benefits without mandatory social obligations.
