mo&fran Posted May 10, 2021 #51 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Of course, when they had the list, the ships were much smaller. Can you imagine what the list would be like for Oasis class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted May 10, 2021 #52 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hmmmm... How close to these relatives or friends can you be if you don't know that they will be on a cruise with you? I don't need or want my name advertised. You can connect with any long lost relatives through social media or genetic testing like 23andMe or Ancestry.

I guess the FBI agent is too young to remember the Yellow Pages Phone directory. I also remember the pay phone booths that Clark Kent stepped into change into his Superman uniform.

KeywestK Posted May 10, 2021 #54 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Back in the early 90s when we started cruising, we were given a booklet with a complete passenger list. I think it was discontinued by the mid to late 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted May 10, 2021 #55 Share Posted May 10, 2021 No thanks! I don't mind posting our first names and locale on roll calls though. While we've not "found" friends/relatives on our cruises via the roll call, we have found new friends that way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted May 10, 2021 #59 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I called RCCL earlier. They did say they are most likely going to start doing this again as soon as cruising gets started. But might take about 8 months to get it underway so don't expect it right away. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling2Some Posted May 11, 2021 #62 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Our main concern with burglary is that our house is NOT empty. While my husband and I may be traveling, our 20-something daughters and an elderly parent are still at home. We have used my husband's office address rather than our home address on our luggage tags for this reason. I also relate to the comment about unusual last names being easily googled. People who have more common last names may not realize that this can be a privacy/security problem. I always cringe when a well-meaning roll call coordinator asks for last names and cabin numbers. I don't want to appear unfriendly but people should keep in mind that these are public forums. If you have an unusual name all it takes is one google search.

Rare Germancruiser Posted May 11, 2021 #64 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I still have my passengers lists from Grandeur, Entchantment ( Maiden Voyage) and Vision- those took place 1996/97 and 1998. After that they no longer provided them. I found it rather nice, but in our day and age and with all the Social Media options I don´t think they ever will come back. The whole world got a little dose of paranoya. By the way they just posted Names and the City - no street - no phone number etc. I hear the people cry about data saving and protection on the other hand they post everything - however trivial - on facebook or Insta or whatever- sometimes it seem everytime they have to use the privy - they deem that worth to post... ! LOL. As for meeting relativs on board- HEAVEN FORBID- I would go into hiding at once. LOL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Wonderland Posted May 12, 2021 #65 Share Posted May 12, 2021 When I sailed on Crystal Cruises in 2013, they still had the passenger list at that time. During the online check-in process, guests could click "agree" or "decline" to put their names on the list. They could also choose how your name is shown / abbreviated on the list. It was not necessary to be the full first name and last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that when we were cruising with friends a couple of years ago we pulled into Nassau. As we were disembarking the Carnival ship across the pier was also disembarking. Our friend looked up and shouted...his cousin and his family were disembarking from the other ship. Neither family knew that the other was cruising for the week and they had a mini (and brief) family reunion on the pier in Nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likelihood of them being used for nefarious purposes NOW is practically nonexistent. I mean really, worried that your house is going to be robbed because your name is listed on a cruise? So someone would pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to get this "list". Then contact someone in your hometown who uses google to find your house. Then they still need to figure out if someone is staying there. Then HOPE you have something worth stealing. And this is assuming home towns are even listed. On the other hand, recognizing a family member or friend based on their name (possibly hometown) on a list would also be extremely rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
