Margaritaville at Sea Paradise

If you are planning a trip with family or friends, a group booking can lower the price for everyone and make the planning far easier. Here is how it works on Margaritaville at Sea.

What counts as a group

Groups typically start around 6 cabins, which is 12 guests. Everyone books under one group, so the cruise line prices the block together and your guests sail on the same itinerary.

What you get

  • Reduced group pricing. Book enough cabins together and everyone can sail for less than booking on their own.
  • Onboard perks and amenities. Group amenity points can go toward onboard credit, a cocktail party, or other extras for your group.
  • Flexible deposits. Hold a block of cabins with a group deposit, and let guests pay their own way before the final due date.

Who books this way

  • Family reunions
  • Birthdays and milestones
  • Weddings and honeymoons
  • Bachelor and bachelorette trips
  • Corporate and team incentives
  • Clubs and friend groups

How it works in practice

  • You tell me the sailing and a rough headcount.
  • I hold the block and set up the group with the cruise line.
  • Guests book and pay their own way against the held block, so you are not collecting money from friends.
  • I handle the details up to sailing day.

Group rates and perks vary by sailing and change over time. See the group rates page for the details, or look at the current group cruises already open for booking.
