Group Cruise

Good Morning!!

After reading all of the posts in this forum, I am ready with some ?? regarding a group cruise!

Right now we are interested in the Mexican Riviera sailing of the Carnival Splendor, March 29, 2009. I have 7 couples interested with some possibly bringing children with in their cabin. I have encouraged all to go with balcony cabins as they are the best!!. We would be flying into LA the day before and staying a a hotel near the port. I am very interested in making this an official CLF Group cruise as I think the more the merrier!!! Here goes with the questions...

1. When would be the best time to book to a) get the best prices, b) best perks, etc?
2. Do past guest and military rates, and lower rates for certian home states, (we have some folks from Galveston and Phoenix) come into play for my guests in a group booking if they are offered on that sailing?
3. Is it possible to do say a $50 initial deposit in order to get folks excited?
4. Are there added benefits to being an official CLF Group Cruise??

I am sure I will have more ?? as time goes by but this is a start
Thanks so much for everyone's time!
