kontraxed Posted July 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is there any way to determine if a particular cruise has a large charter group on it and what or who that group is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is there any way to determine if a particular cruise has a large charter group on it and what or who that group is? Not a reliable way. The cruise line won't release that info. You may have some luck doing an internet search using the full name of the ship and the sailing date in different forms.

Johnamac123 Posted July 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is there any way to determine if a particular cruise has a large charter group on it and what or who that group is? If addition to Bob's advice above, look at the Roll Call for that cruise. Someone may have posted if it has been a full or partial charter...

Rare Lionesss Posted July 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2018 We found out after the fact that our August Explorer of the Seas has a travel company that has booked a ROCK AND ROLL cruise ............................ It took awhile for the cabins to fill, as I followed the room availability for over 8 months, so I hope it is not to painfully "HAPPY DAYS " Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted July 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I put in such words as - Quilters Church Religious Bear Gay Lesbian LGBT Corporate - this one you will get a lot of other things also Rock and roll Music Reunion These are some that I look for and some that I read about here. There are also more so like Bob said do a google search with the ship and date info. Some of these will just be small groups and not really very annoying. You will have to try to find out about how big the group will be. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaHunt Posted July 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Besides googling, I also try this site (doesn't show all, but quite a few): http://themecruisefinder.com/ I use "Advanced Search" then "All Categories" and input the name of the ship where it says "Search anywhere in the ads". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted July 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Our upcoming Oasis cruise was, at one point, advertised as a singles cruise sponsored by a large on line travel agency. One poster was a honeymooner and wanted to cancel as she was not happy with a ship full of singles. Long story short - the group is maybe 40 people. The poster never posted again so I wonder if she cancelled. There are groups on every sailing, but rarely make any difference during the cruise. In my opinion, if a group is perhaps 1/3 of the passenger total, I think the other guest have a right to know, PRIOR TO FINAL PAYMENT. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted July 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2018 30yrs cruiseing on Royal and most ever saw was 1/4 in a group on a smaller ship. Never interfered with regular cruise, their functions were during day away from us. Only time ever wasn't was 1990s. Group tried to book all Soul Cruise and was the 1/4 of passengers. Was great cruise, entertainment was Spinners and Temptations. Sail away was Electric Slide... Since then all Charters I've witnessed did their own thing or Chartered the whole ship which is now more Common with larger Lifestyle groups...
