Thank you, Carol. To (hopefully) help you in your research, I include the website for Inspiration Cruises. They offer cruises with a Christian theme, and with guest speakers and pastors. Often they charter a ship, sometimes they are simply a group on board. They seem to prefer Holland America Line. Their website lists all their upcoming cruises. I am not singling them out for any reason other than they impacted my own choice of Alaskan cruise this coming year, and I noticed a few extra that were missing from your list above:

thanks! I have them on my "look up" list - but only got as far as Road Scholar, and knitting/quilting groups, along with updating the dry docks.

 

I will be researching some of the other well known groups - Inspiration cruises, Scientific American, more NW Anesthesia - so hopefully will be bringing updates more often in the beginning months of 2016 while I incorporate the remaining craft/interest groups.

Carol, thank you for your continued efforts to let us know about groups that could impact our cruises.

I will admit I was relieved to see my cruises had nothing listed for them.
