2004 Connie sailing question

[Ships R Great]

In 2004 on Connie TransAtl someone posted a spreadsheet type thingy with info about the CruiseConnection people (screen name, real anme,cabin, dining, etc.). If you read this (or anyone who knows how), please tell me how you did it. Thanks.

IMHO - Much safer to get a separate msn group or something like that -publishing real names and cabin numbers on this very public site could be a mistake security wise!!

 

On my next cruise we already have an msn group and have even put our photos on so we all recognise each other.

 

However, we do have a list of dining times etc. on the thread.

 

Sorry I cant help you on the Connie TA - I was on one in 2004 - east bound in April.

You are probably right. I would leave cabin #s off but first names should be okay, don't you think? How did you set up a separate msn group?

[2ladies]

Yes, I think first names are fine.

 

I just keep the msn group I have - change the contents for different things.

 

I would put in search for msn groups. Then follow all the instructions to make one - easy if I did it, I can assure you. I am hopeless with the computer!! Think of a fun name for your cruise - then go back to your site and tell everyone to post on it. Or you could be even more security conscious and tell everyone to send you an e-mail (you could open another e-mail account specially) and allow entry to the msn group only by invitation!! Personally, I don't want every one of the CC cruisers to know my cabin number - after all, we are all strangers!!

 

The cruises I go on, I always suggest that we meet aft (or some meeting place weather permitting) for the sailaway. Then the Cruise Director arranges the get-together on the first seaday and if requested, sometimes they will put in the programme a meeting place on other seadays.

 

Getting too organised on a cruise never seems to work as everyone wants to do their own thing!!!

 

Good luck - being an organiser is a thankless task - but G-d bless you all!!!

Hi there - great time had by all!!

 

She's not doing the same trip this year so we are on the Jewel of the Seas on April 30th. Remember Ann & Derek Noton? Also will be on the Jewel!!

 

When is your next cruise?

Roz,

 

We are taking a holiday from cruising this year. We just went to Disneyworld with six of our granddchildren. That trip took a bite out of our cruise budget, but was a worthwhile "investment" for the family. We may return to the seas in 2007. I'd like to see the Panama Canal. But who knows? Hope you have a smooth sailing as we did last year. Give my regards to the Nortons. ;)
