Then you would have to call it an Australasian Cruise Critic board.:cool:

 

The more i think of this the better i like it as Cruise Critic Australia infers that only Australian topics are covered. Seeing that NZ is a separate country then the correct name should have been Cruise Critic Australia & New Zealand. If you then include topics from Asia i would go with Cruise Critic Australasia.

 

Fair comment?

I agree Hugh! Those in the North & West of Australia definitely see themselves as part of Australiasia as they travel to Asian countries regularly both for business and pleasure.

If they do include Asia in the new forum, then Cruise Critic Australasia, works for me!

If they had only mentioned Australia & New Zealand in the OP, I wouldn't have suggested/asked for it. But as they mentioned the South Pacific, I figured why not? as there are many cruising to Asia now. The worst that can happen is that they say no :(

If you are cruising soon, may you have a wonderful cruise :D

Ha ha, serves me right for travelling and bringing back the locals!

 

Love my extended Kiwi's, we just dont' talk at rugby or footy time!

 

 

Now that sounds like a lot of common sense [well for someone who married a K1W1 anyway].:p

Thanks for all your support and suggestions. I'm in the USA office this week (for training) so I will bring up your ideas in our meetings.

 

- CC Australasia: good point. We are adding Asian port reviews, so I'll see what they think.

- Roll Calls for Eden & Aria: of course! Will ask Laura to add these, now that bookings are open.

- Kiwi mascot: kiwis can't fly but they can cruise :)

- more promotion: we are waiting until the new site is ready to be accessed by the public - which is very soon. Lots of holes to fill, which is why your feedback/beta testing has been so useful.

 

I'll have further updates this week...

- Louise

G'day everyone

Just an update on local progress...

 

The Community team has set up the Roll Calls for P&O's "new" Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden. So if you've booked a cruise on these ships next year, head over to:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=990 - Pacific Aria

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=991 - Pacific Eden

 

No to CC Australasia... you'll have to read between the lines for now, but until I have more to announce (don't hold your breath just yet), AU and NZ will live as a happy antipodean family on http://www.cruisecritic.com.au - which is getting much closer to launching, so please be patient!

 

Meanwhile, you can see some local news has started appearing on the main CC news site:

http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6090

 

The Facebook site has also doubled its number of "likes" and we're always looking for photos to share, so send away!

https://www.facebook.com/CruiseCriticAU

 

Thanks everyone!

Louise

Hi John

I understand not everyone is on Facebook. That's why I posted my update here (not Facebook) :o

 

For announcements relating to the new AU site launch, I'll always be sure to post here.

 

For cruise-related news, it will all be posted on http://www.cruisecritic.com.au (when it's up). Until then, all AU/NZ cruise-related news is with all the global cruise news on http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/

Thanks for the update Louise!

Did you decide on the name Australasian to cover this whole area?

Here, here. As a retired network administrator I have no faith in the security of personal account information on f...b... and refuse to have a f...b.... account.

 

The responses in the Australian & New Zealand Cruisers board on CC are very slow as it is without splitting the responses further.

I thought one of the rules of the CC board is that f...b... is not to be mentioned.

There are rules and then there are rules.:rolleyes:
