1. Appoint a Group Leader (And Yes, That Might Be You)
Every successful group trip needs a captain at the helm—someone to communicate with your travel advisor (hi there 👋), keep deadlines on track, and help everyone stay organized. Without a leader, chaos reigns: double bookings, missed deadlines, and a dozen people trying to plan a shore excursion at once.
This doesn’t have to be a dictatorship—but it should be someone organized, diplomatic, and willing to say, “OK, team, this is the plan.” You need someone who can steer the ship without steering everyone crazy.
2. Choose the Cruise (Diplomatically)
Picking a cruise that works for a group is like trying to plan a family dinner where one person is keto, one’s allergic to everything, and someone else thinks cheese is a food group. It’s a balancing act
You have a few options:
Pick a cruise you want to do, then invite others along.
Narrow it down to a few itineraries and vote.
Hand the reins to your friendly neighborhood travel advisor (again, 👋) and let them recommend a sailing that matches your group’s vibe, budget, and wish list.
The destination helps determine the cruise line and ship, so once you lock that in, everything else falls into place—from entertainment to excursions to cabin options.
