Need help planning/organizing small group cruise

[beemerbeeper]

Please direct me to where I can get information about how to plan/organize a small group cruise for a group of people from an internet forum who have shown interest. Do I need to hire a TA or can I do this myself? Please direct me to information if you can. Thanks!

I would enlist a TA (You don't actually "hire" them!) and tell them what you want. A TA can handle everyone's requests and you won't be responsible when someone is unhappy---and I guarantee you, someone will have a problem somewhere down the line...it's inevitable!

 

Just pick the dates, and ship/itinerary that interests everyone, and let a TA do the rest. It shouldn't cost you (or anyone) a penny...they earn their money from the booking itself.

Travel agents are not allowed to solicit or ask people to email them for information per Cruise Critic guidelines. If you don't know a travel agent, there are a lot of agencies that advertise here on CC and one of them will be glad to assist you... the second post is correct = you don't want to try to do this alone, much better to let a travel agent navigate the "group waters" for you! :)
