What if any perks for group cruise?

Has anyone had experience with Carnival and group cruises?
What perks did you get for a family reunion?

I don't know what Carnival does but the TA I used gives 1 passenger free for every 15 or 16th person booked and paid.

It all depends on the particular sailing, the number of cabins sold, and your TA. Carnival has gone to a point system, where each cruise has an assigned number of points for group amenities. How the points are used are between you and your TA.

The TA doesn't give the free ones, Carnival does.

Our group has had four sailings on CCL. The only time we booked as a group and recieved the amenities was on the Celebration. We recieved one free passage (+ taxes/fees) and a free 8X10 group photo per cabin with 6 fully paid cabins. All of our other sailings, we have booked as individuals and linked the bookings for dining room assignments. We recieved much better pricing and upgrades by going this route. Always have your TA check both ways before booking and make a decision when you have all the facts.
