The social media page also has a roll call. 60 on it so far. I just think most UK cruisers just don't know about CC, or if they do, they tend to think it is for American cruisers only. Perhaps there’s a problem understanding our various American accents. I know I have difficulty with scousers and glaswegians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, going back to the original topic, the social media pages are much more user friendly than CC, and attract a much younger age group than would seem to be the case here.

That eliminates a LOT of cruisers. The UK based Marella forum here has a dozen or so regular posters but the FB pages are very busy It is said that maybe forums like this comprise the lunatic fringe of cruisers! I find most people outside of Australia have an accent, some are easier to understand than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't people from different parts of Australia have different accents,one place I have never been but given that people accross the UK & the USA have differing accents by region I would be surprised if Australia was different!

When I worked for Qa.ntas the aussie said they could understand me better. Maybe cause I'm from the South and speak more slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
