Can anyone tell me if DCL offers a group rate?

I thought I have seen mention that it is money off each stateroom, 8 or more? Is this correct? I was looking in the DCL brochure and the only mention of group rates is to ADD $29 per person to the package price, and you would get a choice of some perks.

I am thinking of having a huge family reunion at some point in the future. I had 11 siblings, and we just had to bury one of my brother's on Friday. 45 years old. extremely unexpected. He worked in a landfill and from the looks of it, the autospy is going to come back with a finding of gas poisoning. (methane). So, this has brought us closer as a family. i.e we don't see each other as much as we should, ect. Everyone lives and puts things off until "tomorrow", but when something like this happens, it is a hard slap in the face that there may not be a tomorrow. SO, come hell or high water, I am going to plan a Disney cruise for the family. I just need some info on getting a discount. We would certainly use AT LEAST 8 staterooms. Heck, the size of my family, if everyone went, it would be a whole deck!

I was told by Tim Larison (dvctalk email list and travel agent) that it is 8 cabins. I don't know what the benefit it for certian so I won't venture my guesses. Tim did tell me that he has been able to combine groups to get the discount in at least one situation.

Group rates apply when you book a minimum of 8 staterooms with 16 adult fares. There is a small discount and other group benefits as well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and I hope you are able to cruise together as a family.
