Meeting Planner Careers

Whether you are considering your first cruise event or have used cruise ships as meeting and event venues several times, there are a few things about cruises that you might not know. Aside from offering all-inclusive packages with great prices, there are many other benefits that make group cruises particularly enticing.

Here are three benefits that make group cruises rather appealing:

1. Planning your next meeting or event on a cruise ship can save you up to 40% when compared to using a hotel venue. Meeting rooms, audio/visual equipment, onboard activities and entertainment, room service and meals are all included in your upfront price and you will avoid paying for many event necessities, such as lighting, floral arrangements, linens and labor. Add the benefit of no state or city taxes and it is easy to see how you can experience serious cost savings by opting for a cruise.
2. More than 80% of people have never been on a cruise, which will make your cruise event much more exciting and appealing to the majority of your attendees who have likely never experienced the luxury and relaxation of cruising.
3. Cruise ships offer numerous onboard activities and nightly entertainment, which means plenty of options for your participants and no entertainment planning tasks for you.

If a cruise ship venue sounds right for your next event, make planning even easier by using the convenient group cruise planning tool at Seasite.com.

Just a short drive north of Seattle, the Tulalip Resort and Casino stands proudly just off the freeway in a small commercial area largely surrounded by open land.

There is over 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space that can be customized to suit your needs, as well as 370 well-appointed guest rooms to house your attendees.

When not attending scheduled events, dining in the elegant Tulalip Bay restaurant, filling up on a lunch buffet or finding exceptional deals at the Seattle Premium Outlets, meeting attendees can play golf at one of two nearby courses, hit the slopes at the Stevens Pass Ski Area or try their luck in the casino, where they will find slots and table games.
