What does it mean to book a "group rate"?
It simply means that the supplier (in this case Virgin Voyages) has given me a preferential rate because I committed to advertise, promote & sell 16 cabins on this itinerary. Regardless of whether I sell these cabins or not, your price is guaranteed.
For you, it simply means you benefit from this preferential rate - a rate lower than the published rate. And if you do not want to see me or spend time with me during the trip, that is totally fine. Being part of this "group" does not oblige you to socialize with the group if you don't want to.
But if you WANT to be accompanied, and you find it reassuring to be with a small group, to have a familiar face or two on board, then I will be there. I will also share my flight details, hotel in Miami, excursions and some onboard activites in case you do want to socialize.
