Crowdtilt + Cruises = HUGE group discounts!

Did you know that many cruise lines provide 10-15% discounts to groups of at least 16 people? Often, as the organizer you can enjoy free trips or get lower fares and extra amenities for the whole group.  

The catch is that the tickets have to be booked all at once. 

As with most group activities you will have to deal with getting the commitments from everybody beforehand and then hope that nobody changes their mind by the time you ask them for the money. 

If you have had any experience with Crowdtilt, you know how much easier this process can be by simply starting a campaign.

Use the links below to find your dream cruise, and get a quote for your group from a travel agent. Group discounts require at least 8 staterooms w/ 16 guests. 

Royal Caribbean for groups - Cruise credits can be used towards the base cost of one person’s fare in your group, or spread across one or more fares in your group. The deposit is due within 30 days (or less if sailing is within 90 days) of the reservation date. Final payment is generally due 75 days prior to sailings or 90 days for holiday sailings

Carnival Cruise for Groups -  Fun points can be used for complimentary champagne, chocolates, private onboard cocktail party, as well as special amenities. To get lower rates, ask the representative for the no-amenities rate. (more details on how fun points can be used click here) 

Disney Cruises - While Disney does not publish group discounts on their website, travel agents have the flexibility to offer lower rates and extras. Use their contact page to find the closest travel agent to you. They also post special offers here.

Cruises.com for groups - If you don’t want to deal with a specific cruise line, you can use this travel agency to get the best out of all. 

In order to ensure the widest selection of cabins and amenities, cruise lines require you to book 60-90 days in advance. 

Are travel agents free?

Most of the time. Usually travel agents receive a commission from the cruise lines so you don’t have to pay extra for their service. 

So how do you feel about taking a trip to the Carribbeans or Bermuda? Hopefully you can use those shipboard credits to enjoy a nice bottle of wine in your cabin!
