Group Cruising… By COL R. John Cully, USA (ret)
Government Vacation Rewards is the new
cruise program for Reunion Friendly Network. We not only offer the MOST Military Discounts on Travel, but the best price guarantee and no booking fees. By booking your reunion with us we guarantee you will be satisfied and can even get a FREE cruise. Cruise for Free? It has to be a joke? Not if you are putting together your own
group cruise! Just eight or more staterooms on one sailing and you’ve got yourself a group and a free berth (one bed in a stateroom). And if you book 16 staterooms, you’ve got a free stateroom! Cruising offers you fantastic group rates and a great variety of amenities to make your event unique and memorable. If you have ever been on vacation with a large

group of people, whether for a family reunion, wedding, church group, your bowling league, corporate team building exercise, or maybe even a military reunion, you know the difficulty in planning an experience appealing to everyone.
Don’t stress - nothing compares to taking your group aboard a luxury cruise ship! From rousing onboard activities to thrilling shore excursions, a group cruise provides all the entertainment, activities and events that will thrill every member of your party. From young to old and all in between, nobody will be bored. Whatever your group members fancy, there is something for everyone. Be as active as you like: enjoy rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, dancing, swimming, scuba diving and fantastic fitness centers. Relax by the pool or in the spa. In a word, you will have options, options and more options. Cruising is all-inclusive, so the details are taken care of, from dining options
to entertainment - all at one price. Whether you have a relatively small group or you’re planning on booking the entire ship, we have you covered! Need meeting space or a place to get together? From a Welcome Aboard cocktail party, private wine tastings, beverage cards, and lunch or dinner at a specialty restaurant to simply having dinner in the dining room together every night, the included amenities only add to the benefits and ease of hosting a group on a cruise. All of these items are planned and arranged through the cruise line’s Group Coordinator – each ship has one to assist you and your group with planning the activities and functions throughout your onboard itinerary. So, now that you have decided to organize a group cruise, how do you choose
where to go? You can choose from some of the most spectacular destinations around the world including: the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia, Hawaii, Australia, and even the Antarctic! How about booking a cruise and touring Alaska? There
is nothing quite like seeing the Last Frontier from the deck of a ship. Or how would your military group feel about a tour of the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor - now that’s memorable! Still, one of the most popular destinations remains the Caribbean with its crystal clear waters, sunny climate, and exotic ports of call.
