50 ford Posted August 21, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Has anyone in a group ever got a FREE CABN for booking a bunch (14) of rooms on the same cruise ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted August 21, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You don't get a free cabin just 1 berth (50% off cabin). It is the average of the cabins in the group. Say you have 3 balconies, 2 OV and 9 inside the average would give you 50% off of an inside room. Most go for the perks ie free wine, meals in sp rest, or cabin credit.

cruiseescape Posted August 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You need a couple more cabins for 2 free people. And that still won't cover the taxes. Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDeagazio Posted August 21, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You receive 1 free berth for every 16 sold.. So for every 8 cabins sold you receive 1 free credit (valued at the cruise rate of the category most sold ion the group) Port charges, taxes etc are additional. Depending on the number of GAP points offered on a sailing you can get use them to reduced the number of sold cabins to free berth requirement down to 1 for 14, 1 for 12 or 1 for 10 sold.

cherub44 Posted August 21, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I was under the impression that it was 1 free berth for 15 sold. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercetc4 Posted August 21, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2005 so if you got 16 balcony cabins booked, double occupancy- that would qualify you for a free balcony cabin for 2 plus tax and port? pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slineberry528 Posted August 21, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I have booked several groups and it is 1 for every 15 (full price) sold. The 16tth person will get their cruise rate "free". Most cruise lines don't send the money until the week of the cruise. Sometimes the group bookings have points, that will count toward a bottle of wine, cocktail party, shipboard credit..... I had a group sailing on the Triumph out of Norfolk that had no points, bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slineberry528 Posted August 21, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You only need 8 cabins, 15 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egh170 Posted August 21, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I booked 10 rooms in November 2001 on the Adventure to southern caribbean for my daughter's wedding party and their honeymoon. Received one free room for her. Of course Dads & Moms went along too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like honeymooning with your parents, inlaws and a slew of friends ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
