Group Cruise's for Individual Bookings
Wouldn't it be nice to find the best deal? With a little planning and some travel agent connections, you could take part in a group cruise for a fraction of the usual cost — and you don't even have to be a member of the group.
What is group cruising?
Most cruise lines, including Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Princess, ordinarily define a group cruise as a minimum of 16 people occupying eight cabins (third and fourth passengers are allowed in a cabin, but they do not count toward the total).
But what if you don't know anyone booking a group cruise? Then you "piggyback."
The art of the piggyback
Many travel agencies hold what is known as "block space" on ships. That means that they have reserved space at group rates, which can be between 20 percent and 30 percent lower than individual rates. Sometimes these agencies hold aside several of the group cabins for individual clients who might be able to depart on the group date — it's called "piggybacking."
Some cruise lines also offer special perks to group cruisers. For example, many cruise lines are now awarding "group amenity points" based on the number of people in the group: the more people, the more points, the more perks. Amenities can include such things as tote bags, private hosted cocktail parties, cabin upgrades and shipboard credits.
To reap the rewards of group cruising, you have to be flexible.
Group Cruising can put dollars in your piggy bank. So always ask your travel agent if the agency has any group space to offer.

New Orleans 2009 Mardi Gras Package
The infamous city of New Orleans and its wonderful French Quarter, Arts District, Faubourg Marigny, Garden District, Audubon Park and Zoo and St. Charles Avenue are as fabulous as ever. Tens of thousands of visitors come to the "Big Easy" every year and return with great stories and memories.
With a diverse cultural background, New Orleans was settled in 1718 by the French near the delta of the Mississippi River. The heavy French influence is still evident, along with the culture of other settlers: the Spanish and the Creole Indians. Everywhere you turn in the downtown area today you will see these cultures still controlling the food, architecture and more.
New Orleans became part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. It is known for its fabulous food, great music, cultural diversity and now for surviving one of the worst storms in history. Today one can enjoy Bourbon Street, visit the many museums, take a river boat cruise on the Mississippi, and so much more. For more than 150 years, the biggest event in New Orleans has been the Mardi Gras held each February. You should book early for next year's event.
Visit New Orleans this year and savor the history, the culture, the food and enjoy the abundant entertainment options.
It is New Orleans' premiere party season! It's time to enjoy life, party, and have a good time! It's irresistibly fun, vibrant, sarcastic, and sassy! If you understand how this city hums during the day and sings at night, you may be able to envision its celebration of Mardi Gras.
Perhaps it's the anticipation of the merriment, the excitement of catching throws, the extravaganza of the parades, getting dressed up in costume, or going to a Ball -- but a frame of mind takes over the Big Easy and says "forget your problems and have fun!" If you are planning a visit to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras with us, check out the vacation package below!
