Rare trbarton Posted July 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2020 How far in advance can you register for a Meet & Mingle? I’m on an Alaska cruise in December 2021. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDisconnections Posted July 26, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) You can register as far in advance as you can book. If you don’t see one, you can always start a new topic. Be sure to reach out to John Heald and seek his assistance in arranging a location for a meet and greet onboard. Should you wish, he will also provide door prizes and nibbles — just ask. He won’t assist in a slot pull though. Edited July 26, 2020 by xDisconnections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are describing is for facebook ones. He addressed this last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t see a roll call for your cruise you can create one. https://www.cruisecritic.com/rollcall/ The CC ones are hit and miss. I’ve had times where nobody showed up. And I’ve seen ones where a bunch of people showed up. My last one was pretty good. About 20 people...CD and Hotel Director were there.

I was of the understanding that you registered first for a Meet & Mingle & that one was set up. On Cruise Critic there is a place to sign up for a Meet & Mingle. I’ve done a lot of meetings with Princess where you contact Princess & request a date & time & Princess assigned you a room for your meeting. I’ve always had a good group & my last one had over 50 people with most of the principle officers invited, including the Captain present. I’ve enclosed a photo of my last meeting with the Captain & the Principle Officers. Cruise Critic also donated prizes for a raffle. Can you arrange a meeting through Carnival & if so how do you do it? Any help appreciated. Tom😎 Edited July 26, 2020 by trbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen none show up before. It gets arranged automatically. 25 people need to sign up for the meet and mingle otherwise they won’t have one. You’ll get an invite in your room and it’ll be posted in the fun times. It’s usually on the first sea day in the piano bar but not always. There will be coffee, tea, water, cookies, and possibly pastries set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have form letters that I use on Princess to invite the officers so perhaps I can use those & just write in the details once I know who they are.
