bplazo Posted February 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2006 We are trying to decide which cruise we want to book next. My husband thinks I am crazy because whenever we consider a certain cruise I tell him that I have to check the roll call board to see how active the Meet & Mingle thread is. If it does not have a good roll call I tell him no way. I think that it is half the fun to talk to people on the same cruise before you cruise. Anyone else do this?

Retired not Expired Posted February 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I believe your husband may be right. Our M & M thread didn't get very active until the last four or five weeks. But it was a wonderful cruise with some outstanding people. If you read some of the M & M threads that are active early, you will find most times it is just two or three doing most of the posting. More get involved the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted February 24, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I was the only one on my AOS sailing for the first 6 months :o Eventually more jumped onboard and we had a successfull M&M. I book so far in advance, it is usually ME that starts the M&M thread ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted February 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2006 We also book far in advance, so there usually isn't a thread (unless I start it) for months. So unless you're booking inside 3-4 months, I wouldn't put any stock in the Roll Call activity. But if you are booking that close to the cruise, check out our Island Princess LA-Vancouver Roll call. Nearing 2000 posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aprille Posted February 25, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Anyone else do this?Uh, no. I think I'll have to agree with your DH on this one. ;) But I'm like a couple of others who have replied. We book way in advance and I'm usually the one starting the roll call thread.

RevSmith Posted February 25, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I agree...half the fun is talking to the people on the cruise, but I like the other poster usually book far in advance. I have a thread now and every day I go to it and little to no action. Those people don't know what they are missing. I am on two other threads and I am having so much fun...we are just all so excited for each other and you learn so much. It's sad when people don't take advantage of a thread. But I have fun keeping that little thread going none the less...dispite the lack of activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted February 25, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If you want to book a cruise with an active roll call, come join us on the Jewel of the Seas on 2/10/07. We just started the roll call a couple of weeks ago and already we have several pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
