HOW TO CRUISE FOR FREE!!!!!!!!

Nothing beats a cruise vacation, unless, of course, it's a FREE cruise vacation.

How FUN would it be for you to gather a group of your friends, family, or coworkers to take a relaxing, fun-filled cruise on a gorgeous ship? You could also offer your cruise experience to other groups as well such as:

Group Reunions - Family, High School, Military, etc
Affinity Groups – Church groups, dance groups, fitness groups, collectors groups, etc
Sports Clubs – Golf Clubs, football fans, bowling leagues, etc
Professional Groups – Business groups, women’s associations, medical groups, etc
Community groups– YMCA, Shriners, VFW, Volunteer Organizations, etc.
Just friends – Eight or more couples that just want to have fun!
Wedding Groups – Bridal parties, family and guests, etc.
Interest Groups – alternative lifestyle groups, motorcycle groups, singles groups, etc.

As reward for you organizing/promoting your group cruise and becoming their Group Leader, you can receive a FREE cruise. Planning and promoting your own group cruise is EASY and lots FUN. With simple steps, you'll be sailing away with a few (or a few hundred) of your fellow cruisers! And, best of all, you will not have to do any of the paperwork. We take care of it for you. We provide promotional materials, planning and reservations for pre or post cruise hotel accommodations, separate transfers to/from the hotel/airport/seaport, wedding planning, pre-cruise parties, online booking reservations, group amenities and gifts, etc.

So, how does this FREE cruise thing work? It’s simple... If you get enough people who are interested in taking a cruise together, then you can earn a FREE cruise. The cruise line will award a FREE bed for every so many cabins your group books. This can be as few as five cabins for longer Caribbean, Alaska and European sailings or as many as eight cabins for shorter cruises. There's typically no cap on the number of free beds you can earn, so as long as you keep booking cabins, you group can keep earning free beds.

Here's an example of the number of free beds you could earn if your group booked a 7 Night Caribbean Cruise:

8 cabins (16 guests) traveling = 1 Free Bed
16 cabins (32 guests) traveling = 2 Free Beds (1 free cabin)
24 cabins (48 guests) traveling = 3 Free Beds
32 cabins (64 guests) traveling = 4 Free Beds (2 free cabins)
100 cabins (200 guests) traveling = 12 Free Beds (6 free cabins)

Cruise Lines only award the value of the cruise fare itself. Port charges, taxes and government fees are not free and must be paid by the group. Each cruise line has its own group leader policy and they may vary depending upon the cruise line.

So, what’s the next step to start earning your FREE Cruise? It’s simple.

Pick a Ship and Itinerary - See how many people are interested in joining you on your cruise. Exchange ideas for possible cruise destinations. HINT: New ships tend to attract the most takers.
Select a Month to Travel - Once you have a ship and itinerary and an initial group that's interested, attempt to select a month that all can agree to travel. HINT: The best group deals are offered in January, February, May, June, September, October and early November
Contact Cruise Agent - Once you have an idea of how large your group will be initially and the month and ship of sailing, contact me at 1-877-621-0550 to let me know that you are interested in leading a new Cruise Planners group cruise. I will explain the group cruise process to you and will contact our Preferred Cruise Lines to obtain your official quote. After you receive your proposal, and it’s acceptable with your initial group members, it is full speed ahead! HINT: Being flexible on your sailing date may mean a better price and more amenities! Use www.marquisexcursions.com to help narrow your search for your cruise destination and cruise line.
Promote your Group Cruise - Once you have your Cruise Planner Group started, I will create your personalized cruise flyers and mail to you and to members of your group. I will also offer an online booking site for members of your group to book their own reservations and make deposits. HINT: Use the personalized flyer to generate as much interest as you can in your group. The more cabins you book the more FREE cruise fares you generate.
Provide Deposit and Rate Information to all interested Group Members
Once your group cruise is booked advise group members of the initial deposit, second deposit, and final payment dates required to book their cabin. HINT: Work with your Cruise Planner to help determine best methods for sending payment reminders to your group members.
