Planning a cruise vacation for a family of four is exciting—now imagine organizing one for 28 people, all with different schedules, budgets, and preferences. That’s exactly what our extended family set out to do when we dreamed up a Caribbean cruise departing from Miami. While the idea was beautiful, the logistics seemed nearly impossible. That is, until we discovered AirRJ.
The idea came about during a family wedding in Orlando. As cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents reunited, we realized how rare such full-family gatherings had become. Someone jokingly said, “Let’s all just take a cruise together!” and that lighthearted thought turned into a real plan. We wanted:
A cruise that would allow everyone—from toddlers to seniors—to enjoy activities
A departure port that was easy for everyone to reach
Affordable flight options to get all 28 of us to Miami
Help coordinating the various needs (wheelchair access, vegetarian meals, room groupings, etc.)
That’s where the headache began. Booking cruise cabins was one challenge—but arranging air travel for so many people from six different cities across the U.S. and Canada? That’s when we turned to AirRJ.
After reading about AirRJ on a travel blog, we reached out via their group booking form at www.airrj.com and got a call back within hours. Their dedicated group travel expert immediately understood our situation and assigned us a coordinator to work with from start to finish.
Here’s how they helped:
Unlike the back-and-forth you get when booking flights online yourself, AirRJ created a custom itinerary for our group based on:
Departure cities
Preferred flight dates (some wanted to arrive early to explore Miami)
Budget constraints
Number of checked bags per person
Special needs (elderly travelers, child discounts, meal preferences)
They managed to stagger flights for different city groups in a way that ensured all 28 of us landed within a 2-hour window in Miami. Coordinating this manually would’ve taken us weeks.
With 28 members flying, we qualified for group fare discounts, saving us an average of $120 per ticket. That’s over $3,000 saved on airfare alone—money we happily spent on excursions and souvenirs during the cruise.
Instead of asking each family to pay immediately, AirRJ offered a flexible deposit system. This allowed us to secure our group fares with a partial payment and gave families time to organize their finances.
They also allowed installment-based payments, so no one had to bear the full burden at once.
One family had to change their departure city due to a family emergency, and another cousin added a friend to the group just a week before departure. AirRJ handled it all seamlessly. No hold music, no chatbot frustration—just real people helping real travelers.
AirRJ even coordinated:
Shuttle buses from Miami Airport to our cruise terminal
Pre-cruise hotel stay for early arrivals
Meal preferences and group seating during flights
Emergency contact list management
They truly acted as a travel concierge for our group.
Once we all arrived in Miami, everything went like clockwork. AirRJ’s coordination made check-ins smooth, the shuttle service was waiting, and we even had a WhatsApp group (managed by our coordinator) for real-time updates.
The cruise itself was unforgettable—7 days across the Caribbean: Nassau, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. But what made it even more special was how stress-free the journey had been, thanks to the planning done before we even boarded the ship.
Everyone—from our grandparents to the youngest nieces—had only praise for the trip. Not once did we face an airport mix-up or a missing piece of luggage. That kind of peace of mind is invaluable when traveling in large numbers.
Planning group travel is tough. You have to balance:
Timing
Budgets
Preferences
Logistics
Emergencies
Most people are used to juggling all of this alone—or worse, abandoning the idea altogether. But AirRJ made it possible, enjoyable, and cost-effective.
They aren’t just a booking service. They’re group travel specialists who understand the challenges and handle them for you.
A family reunion cruise
A destination wedding
A religious pilgrimage
A corporate retreat
Or a school trip abroad
AirRJ can handle it—and we’re living proof.
The Caribbean cruise we dreamed of became a once-in-a-lifetime memory, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support and structure that AirRJ provided. If you’re planning a group trip of 6 or more people, don’t do it the hard way.
