Thanks, I was curious and thought it may have to do with that, because I noticed the ship too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocean sounds Posted April 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) wish they used a word other than “rare.” Every time I see, it reminds me of meat 😂. Edited April 14, 2022 by ocean sounds Changed 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it doesn't seem that live reviews are all that "rare". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 435 CC posters which have "biker" in their screen name, 218 have NEVER posted and another 45 have only one post. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2022 You would think one of the moderator's of this forum would just chime in with what it means rather then everyone on here just making guesses. The moderators only seem to see what they want to see. I have a guess what rare might mean, but I rather not post it, because then the moderators might give me a 7 - 10 day vacation. 🙂 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do have a question that I can answer (or perhaps one of the hosts could) the best option is to email us or tag one of us on the thread so that we will be alerted. Otherwise it is all up to luck whether or not I come across a post such as this 🙂 Rare does refer to the badge that is shown on the member's avatar. In this case it is the LIVE FROM badge (the ship) - and less than 10% of members have been awarded this badge 🙂 9 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted April 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hmmmm...I've done several live reviews. No icon. Not a big deal. But, thinking you also have to have a certain amount of posts, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...as I mentioned, not a big deal. Doing pre-cruise posts in a thread I plan to do live posts for a May 5 Ovation-Alaska cruise. Maybe they'll take a look at that one once I'm on board. Thanks for the explanation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rogueperson Posted April 14, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) *sniff* Where's my icon?!?!?

Rare h20skibum Posted April 14, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Will this now turn into a competition to collect the most ship badges? Maybe they will have a common badge then. 😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
