duct tape Posted December 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Can we suppose that this partnership has ceased to exist? There has been some discussion on these boards about the lack of any 2015 schedule. Nothing happens. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted December 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Alas, concur duct tape--also think the cc/ss meet/mingle is ending this month. For months only one of the eight SS ships (Discoverer) shows meet/mingle 2015 sailings to sign up for. Sent another email (asking wassup?) to Jenn (about my sixth email in last two months) an hour ago. Back on Oct 28th, both Jenn and Laura (Mgr of CC) said that the program was continuing for 2015 but they just had to load the dates. If anyone else wants to send an Meet/Mingle email to Jenn, pls send an email to the address below: Find out more and join your Silversea Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle: Silversea Meet & Mingle __________________ JennK email: help@cruisecritic.com Community Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellseasoned Posted December 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yep, still no M&M available for our Jan 6 Spirit cruise. Also no response on our roll call thread. Guess there are no other cruise critic people aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusababy Posted December 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Dieter why don't you come a day early and transfer to the Cloud - January 5 departure -- we'll MEET & MINGLE again.....;) Have a Merry Christmas !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted December 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2014 fyi, just got an answer from Jenn @ cruise critic support, pls see below. She says program is still good for 2015, they just are slow, slow, slow in updating.

brimary Posted December 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Reported on an earlier M&M thread that friends returning from a recent SS cruise were informed that they will be discontinued wef 2015.Looks as if it may well be happening.

OctoberKat Posted December 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Newbie here so perhaps stupid question: what prevents us from organizing our own meet-up in X lounge on X date and time? I understand there's no hardship incurred in finding palatable tipple aboard. Edited December 11, 2014 by OctoberKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted December 12, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted December 12, 2014 We have always done that. It takes time and effort. Much easier when CC stepped into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Echo Posted December 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Slow?!! This is not on!! How long does it take to add the cruise date to the website?!! I think you Wes, are cruising before us - in February on Spirit? we are on the Wind in March Singapore to Muscat, and not are there no meet and mingles for this date, but neither are there any other cruisers! I cannot believe, despite the less than other cruise line take ups on Silversea, that we are the only two on this cruise. It would of course help if they loaded our dates on line!! If they are discontinuing M& M, why are there dates as far as February 2016? It is not acceptable that it has taken both Wes, and I, and goodness knows how many others, to chase CC to input details. Whoever's fault it is, someone should pull their finger out!! RANT OVER Kindest regards Master Echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throast Posted December 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Kilt... Quite possibly.. I wore it on both our cruises on the Spirit this/last year, but they were in Europe, the outfit can be heavy ( eight yards of material in the kilt alone) and we have a couple of flights to get Stateside. Hope the bars ar well stocked with single malts, lol see you their Peter and Elspeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted December 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Throast/Peter & Elspeth, Mary Ann enjoy your cruise. Peter....Am extraordinarily frustrated with CC not updating the 2015 meet & Mingle sailings. Have been working with the CC point person for almost two months to update m/m 2015 sail dates. Alas, keep getting we're trying to load, sorry it is taking so long. Maybe they will load 2016 before they load 2015 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Silver Spectre Posted December 17, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks for continuing to try and get them to do something, anything, Wes. Still nothing for the Whisper beyond Dec. Why doesnt someone on CC pull their finger out and do something. And perhaps Host Dan could find the time to explain to us all why this is not happening.

Rare WesW Posted December 20, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Y'all are very welcome. Firmly believe the CC/SS meet & mingle are a win-win-win--for SS, CC and us. These gatherings on board the first part of our voyage allows those of us with a passion for cruising on SS to meet face to face vs digitally--which lead to new enduring friendships. We have developed lasting on board friendships (Wellseasoned, bsrkent, Dusababy, Dos Jubalitos, Emtsbam, RachelG, Dougburns, bettywh, greygypsey, spinnaker2, Cashipman, EnglishUSA, SilverSprectre, Ging66 through meet & mingles. These friendships endure as we have broke bread with Wellseasoned, Dougburns on land and have invited those fellow SS/CCrs who live in/near the ports we are visiting (Dos Jubalitos, Ging66) to have lunch with us on board (we will see Ging66/Jennifer in Sydney this February on board the Spirit). Hope CC does not take another two months to fix the Whisper meet & mingle link. Edited December 20, 2014 by WesW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
