28. Understand Group Amenity Point Perks

When booking as a group (#5), don't just focus on the fare discount. Cruise lines often award "amenity points" to the group based on the number of cabins booked. The group leader (or travel agent) can then typically choose how to 'spend' these points – options might include a free group cocktail party, onboard credit distributed per cabin, bottles of wine delivered to rooms, or even a donation to charity. Understanding these available bonus perks can significantly enhance the group's overall value and experience.
