HOW TO GET THE MOST RETURN FOR EACH CRUISE DOLLAR INVESTED Travelers who reply on a trained professional cruise travel agent to plan their cruises - will consistently receive more value for each cruise dollar spent. Here are some ways to maximize your cruise investment when arranging a cruise in association with a professional cruise travel agent: - Groups: If groups of 16 or more travelers book at least 8 staterooms on the same cruise... then in addition to lower fares and a wider choice of staterooms, groups often receive added on-board amenities, credits, and discounts. The earlier a group deposits a cruise, the greater the availability of these added extras. Groups of 6 or more trafelers are eligible for significant discounts on high quality group travel insurance (available through your CM TRAVEL 4FUN travel agent). And... CM TRAVEL 4FUN offers cruise group organizers cash awards of up to $750.00 payable at time of travel! Learn more about: CASH REWARDS FOR GROUP ORGANIZERS
- Cruise lines offer short term deep discounts for specific types of staterooms on specific ship (and/or itineraries). These added discounts are often only valid for 1 to 7 days, are "first come, first serve", and sometimes require full payment at time of deposit. If your travel agent notifies you of these types of cruise discounts, a quick response on your part is a must if you are to take advantage of these (fleeting) opportunities.
- Booking any cruise very early through a cruise travel agent will save a lot of money on cruise fare, often requires a smaller deposit, and insures a wide choice of staterooms in the category chosen. CM TRAVEL 4FUN offers exceptionally discounted special fares when travelers deposit their cruise 18 to 24 months prior to sail date. Smaller discounts are available between 12 and 18 months prior to sail date. Good discounts may or may not exist between 6 and 12 months prior to sail date (depends on fill rate). Early booking discounts apply to groups planning a cruise as well... this is a way to make group travel even more attractive to friends and family (or for others who may wish to join your group).
- Last Minute Cruise stateroom openings... there are good deals to be had here as well... but only if you have a passport, all destination required documents, medical, innoculation and other entry requirements in order... and have the time open and available to travel on short notice. Here again... if your travel agent notifies you about a last minute cruise opportunity... you need to act quickly and get it deposited. On most last minute cruises, full payment is due at time of booking.
- Pied Piper Affinity Cruise Groups... Here we are speaking of individuals or groups that have a dedicated following built around a themselves, an organization, a charity, or another common interest. These cruise groups form around a specific theme that is the link between all potential travelers. Possible themes include: quilting, art or artists, dance, photography, training classes in almost anything, anyone who has a large following (celebrities, musicians, etc), a local Lions group or other charity where members and/or donors are invited to join the cruise group as a fund raiser, and a million other possibilities. Often, a Pied Piper pre-arranges on-board training classes, special shore excursions, or other activities that allow the Pied Piper to charge a fee for... (with the fee paid to the Pied Piper by each traveler in the group). Many cruise lines provide conference rooms, A/V equipment and more... for free to the Pied Piper. What the cruise line provides for free is related to the size of the cruise group. Many Pied Pipers pay for all or part of their cruise expenses with onboard classes for which they charge a fee. Pied Pipers creating groups occupying 8 or more double occupancy cabins may qualify for added special fare discounts or other perks... and are normally eligible for a $750.00 cash award at time of travel (payable to the group organizer). Other types of Affinity Cruises include weddings, reunions, and other celebrations while on a cruise. Here again the cruise organizer may be eligible for extra benefits and cash awards!
