little money on the side.

HOW MANY FREE TRIPS CAN I EARN?
Trips are priced
differently. Normally, tours include 1 free trip earned
for each 16 fully paying passengers. If you need more
free trips, such as 1-free-for-15 or 1-free-for-10, just
let us know and we can calculate your quotation
accordingly. You can give the 'free' trips to other
passengers who can help you promote the tour - or 'sell'
the free trip(s) as fundraising for your organization,
or use them for personal travel. Ask us how.
When you are booked as a group on cruises, it is
possible to add special benefits for all the passengers
such as a cocktail party, a personalized cabin gift or
special tour.
WHAT IS MY
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY AS A "GROUP LEADER?"
As a
group leader, your responsibility is to gather people
who will go the
selected cruise or tour.
Then you serve as a contact for the group to
arrange payments,
document delivery addresses, etc. By promoting the
tour or cruise, you would
typically earn a
free trip.
DOES EVERYONE
KNOW I AM TRAVELING FOR FREE?
No. The terms of
your arrangements are strictly confidential.
TIPS ON ORGANIZING A GROUP
We are all members of groups; by birth, by association
and by common interests.
The following are ideas of where you might find group
members:
- Organizations:
Retirees, churches, alumni, PTA, charities,
retired military units
- Clubs: Bridge
groups, health clubs, choirs, class reunions,
bank clubs, etc.
- Special Interest:
Golf, square dancing, bowling, photography,
wine, bird watching
- Family Groups:
Weddings, reunions, anniversaries
- Business Groups:
Company meetings, new product launches, incentive
awards for increased sales or productivity
SALES SUPPORT
In
additional to counseling group leaders in the selection
of the right
itinerary, we will
prepare customized flyers and sign up sheets and work
with you in the
promotion of the trip. We handle the invoicing and
address
your group's
specific needs. We carefully check documents so
you can
travel with
confidence.
I HAVE A GROUP "WHAT NEXT?"
Now that you have your group, schedule a group meeting.
Make it a social event by having everyone bring snacks
and drinks. You are the group coordinator so be ready
for the many details you will be faced with. The
following are some ideas that you will want to discuss
with your group:
- How long do you
want your cruise, tour or vacation to last?
Examples: 3, 5, 7 days or longer.
- What dates are
possible travel dates? It is wise to have more than
one date available.
- The itinerary -
where do you want to visit? Examples: Caribbean,
Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, or Eastern U.S. and Canada
- What cruise lines
or tour operators are you interested in?
What type of accommodations is the group interested
in: Cruising: inside (the least expensive),
outside, or suites (the most expensive). Tours
or vacations: budget, first class, deluxe or
luxury hotels.
- How many people
are interested? Do you expect to have more people
than showed up for the first meeting?
- How many in the
group will be bringing children?
- Does anyone in the
group need a handicapped cabin or have any special
needs.
- Does anyone
require air travel and if so from where?
- Do you have anyone
who is not an U. S. citizen?
- Will anyone be
traveling as a single?
Now that you have
discussed the basics with your group, it is time to call
your our Travel Specialist to begin getting prices and
discuss the particulars that your group will require.
Your specialist will be
asking the questions that we have listed above. She or
he will work with you on prices and the planning
materials that will make your job easier. If you feel it
necessary, your travel specialist will be able to supply
you with informational flyers to pass out at your next
meeting. At this meeting it will be time to pass out the
registration forms for those that are interested. This
form will have space for the names of the passengers,
their address, phone number, choice of accommodations,
place for special needs, meal sitting choice, who they
want to be cross referenced with (for meal seating
purposes), and whether or not they want travel
insurance. Your package is a vacation investment and we
highly suggest the protection of travel insurance. You
will work with the same person from start to finish.
We hope that these
suggestions have been helpful to you. When your group is
ready, please call our group department to make a
reservation.
