Debbie Day Posted June 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) What is the Roll Call used for? I signed up but now don't know what to do with it. Also, what does "Cool Cruiser" under my name mean? Also also, does DW & DH stand for Dear wife/husband, or another D word Thanks Edited June 29, 2019 by Debbie Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted June 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I have used the Roll Call to "meet" fellow passengers and arrange to share small group private excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what does "Cool Cruiser" under my name mean? Also also, does DW & DH stand for Dear wife/husband, or another D word Thanks Roll calls for river cruises don't really do much. First, the ships are small, so the chance of finding someone on your sailing is slight. Also, since excursions are included, there is no need to use a roll call to organize small group private excursions (which is one of the main uses of the ocean roll call forums). Thus, in the roll call forums there are 2 separate forums, one for Viking River Cruises and one for All Other River Cruises. Rather than have individual sailings, the roll calls are usually split by cruise line and/or by route. Many of the excursions are common to a particular route; others are specific to the cruise line. You can ask questions about optional excursions (which of a choice of free excursions to choose or whether an extra cost excursion is worth it) or about amenities on the ship. Ultimately, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the conversations that go on here (in the River Cruising and River Cruise Ports forums, and in the river cruising Roll Call forums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get promoted to the 3000+ club, 5000+ club, etc. You are correct on the DW/DH assumption. At least that's what most people take it to mean.
