The roll call is the thread for your sailing. It is there as a central location for participants to discuss the cruise, activities and get to know fellow passengers.

You just want to piggy back onto what's already there for your sailing. This is one of the 999,999 opinions:D.

tserface Posted October 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Another idea. You will see people playing cards all over. Some are in the game room, but others will just be poolside, or at the cafe, or in the buffet. It doesn't hurt to ask and see if anyone wants to do a pick up game. We've met some great people on cruises by just taking the time to talk to them. One cool thing about cruising over other vacation choices is that people kind of expect to sit together, talk together, play trivia together, etc. So, people usually aren't bothered if others approach them on cruises. The most anyone can do is say no thank-you. I bet you find people that think that sounds like a lot of fun. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayenu Posted October 6, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If you cannot figure out your roll call, or none of the posters in that group want to play cards, there is another way. In the library people put up ads to meet others with similar interests. Check them out, and put your ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have e feeling there will be plenty of people to play with... there are 4 of us but its always nice to play with new people and mix it up as well as meet new friends in the cruising community :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveling1969 Posted October 6, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Here's a tip. It's best if you bring your own playing cards (Bicycle, Bee, Casino cards). Princess used to have the best playing cards but now they have the "Red and Blue" brand and they are not very good.

Harry we have at least a 1/2 dozen decks of Bicycle cards we keep on hand, we have at least 2 dozen between us so we will be bringing them for sure Harry but thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted October 6, 2015 #18 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I love Canasta! I've played, off and on, since high school. My Canasta playing now is against computer generated partners and opponents. It's better than none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
