Shogun Posted March 22, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi All I wonder if they will do anything like this for UK folks. yours shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted March 22, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi All I wonder if they will do anything like this for UK folks. yours shogun I don't see why it would be limited to the US...it's on the internet but maybe so. :confused: Reading the description from their email, it looks like it's many of the things that have already been discussed on CC threads about their recently released 2012/2013 itineraries. I decided to register just in case there's something new to learn...I'm always looking to learn something new about cruising & it's why I participate on CC! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 22, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I wonder if the software allows you to see who's in the "audience". When I've gone to web events before, I've liked to sit in the back row. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted March 22, 2011 #19 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Astro flyer The internet is part of the problem, often if I try and log into Princess US I can get some pages as soon as I go for Prices etc it kicks me out or sents me to Princess UK. Even here in the UK my DW computer at work has IT support from Finland as such if she tries to log on to Princess UK it kicks her out thinking she is in Finland, even when we have a cruise booked she can not access it. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkismom Posted March 22, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hmmmm, lets see CO time its at 10am--what does that translate to in UK, it might be during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 23, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've never participated in one of these web events...could you briefly share what to expect?Every software is different and I'm unfamiliar with the one Princess is using. What I would expect is that when you enter the webinar, you'll "see" who is "on stage" and they are the ones doing the talking (typing, most likely macros.) Who is in the audience will most likely be "muted". Some software allows you to see the "rows" and even list who is in each row. They can also allow those in the row to talk among themselves; those "on stage" don't see the chatter. I'm guessing that these options will be disabled and you'll see only what they want you to see. I don't know whether they will enable the ability to ask questions from the audience. (Yes, I used to create and run events like this for a major online Internet company, but it's been years.)

grandmaa Posted March 23, 2011 #24 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm registered too!!! Would love some clues on how this mode of communication and information works before it gets started. Anyone familiar with this care to inform me/us? Thanks bunches! P.S. Wrote myself a note and posted it on my computer and in my calendar so as not to forget..March 31 at 7AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your insights on what's possible...particularly from an expert on such things. After registering, it asked if I wanted to set up my computer for the webinair but didn't do it on my netbook. I'll try to get it set up on my desktop before the event because it's wired to my internet highspeed modem & much faster than my netbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
