I was actually surprised I didn't get totally squished by Radio. He said he's been doing it since 2010 or something like that. How often you get two live threads from the same cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted April 15, 2022 #29 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yes, I’ve seen the “Rare” mark on the pictures on Cruise Critic. It is pretty nice, but never will top my “Wanted” picture in the Post Office 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not paying to entertain y'all Entertaining everyone is just a side benefit. My first solo, I didn't do a live thread, but I had to get the internet package to keep in touch with the wife. 2nd one, I said what the hey and had a blast. I like staying connected with stuff and watching videos in the evening, so its worth it to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird seems to have got the badge after a live post from the Wonder of the Seas. After The Bird started a subsequent live post last week, The Bird got a direct message that The Bird was awarded a badge.

Seems like it might be computer generated on your avatar by Cruise Critic............Someone should try just putting the word "Live" in the Threads Subject Line and see if a few days later you are "Rare" 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case it is the LIVE FROM badge (the ship) - and less than 10% of members have been awarded this badge 🙂 @CC Help Jenn, Just a suggestion, wouldn’t it be more obvious to use a word describing what the award is for, rather than “rare” ? For instance, the word “blog” with the ship symbol? That would lead me to go look for a Live Review from that poster! Rare does not. Thanks for continuing to add new things to CC.

Wouldn't want to interfere with your voyage. Reporting live is so time consuming. I wouldn't want to be bothered like that. After awhile what drink I'm drinking or how much weight I'm gaining each week could get redundant for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are using this feature "out of the box" per say. So far we have only created the one badge, and used default settings that were there from the developers. We could completely remove the "rare" - or change the parameters. As this is our maiden voyage with badges, we are testing the waters 🙂 We will see where this ship will take us. Please don't hate on my puns - I was awake far too early today and it is a sunny Friday here 😛 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
