      Determine if you have enough people cruising together to warrant a group rate. Most cruise lines define a group as having 8 double occupancy rooms. Some, though, allow you to have as few as 3 rooms.

      Find a consultant who specializes in booking groups on cruises. Many travel companies have separate group sales departments. These people know which cruise line has the best deals.
