  1. I set up a lot of groups. It could be many factors. First of all why set up a group because sometimes it goes up in price. This locks the rooms for a few months. I have a group right now a $100 cheaper then current pricing so that is the benefit.

     

    You can get a sale price in the group or use the group room pricing. If you get the sale price the shipboard credit not be an option. You get points with a group and that's probably how your getting $100. Sometimes the sale price will say no to amenities. Also, the hardest part is the group starts to talk about everyone paying different prices. I have seen them get upset on the ship. Why did I pay more? It's best to keep everyone on the same pricing.

     

    I would just as the agent. I think your $100 discount will loose the $100 shipboard so it may be a wash.

  2. If you really want your own photographer they need to be a sailing guest. My last two brides did this with no issues. The best benefit of course you get them the entire cruise. I personally feel its worth it and many don't charge as much as you think. They require you to pay for the cruise and a daily fee. So for example

    Cruise : $850

    Daily Rate: $200 for a 4 night cruise=$800

    Total: $1650

     

    This works better for the short cruises but if you have a single person who may want to share that is an option as well. A bride did that as well with a single guest. Worked out fine.

  3. That is just awful!!! I suggest to always bring your travel agent as a guest if possible. If they are not local have them on speed dial. Many can solve issues as long as the ship has not sailed. They can be a huge help and pretty much a coordinator for you if they are a guest. They know your vision more then the coordinator you met 1 hour before you wedding.

  4. I got the drink package, free grats and $ 100.00 OBC. On a 14 day cruise that's well over $ 1,700.00 :D

     

    Oh ya! The cruise price hasn't changed since it came up last spring and I also cherry picked my C3 cabin

     

    I'm curious how you got all three? You only get one or two for Europe?
