Avril Posted April 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2009 How far away from sailing are you? The farther away you are, the less people will be on the roll call. Don't worry, it'll pick up eventually. If it doesn't, just remember, there'll be lots of people on the ship for you to hang out with!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted April 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Not to worry! It's still 6 mos. out. Don't give up, and post once and a while to keep it on the first page. Someone is bound to reply. Make sure someone else hasn't started one, also. If so, don't let your pride keep you from joining up with them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singbluesilver1 Posted April 11, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted April 11, 2009 nope there are no other ones...i had one person post who will be on it....they said it was the first post so far... hopefully it will pick up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlrboo Posted April 11, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2009 We sail in June, and our roll call 'thread' has been extremely quiet! :eek: For a while, I tho't we might be 'sailing alone'.. ;) Things are just now starting to pick up!! Give it time... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacruizer Posted April 11, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It may pick up closer to sailing. But sometimes you win and sometimes you lose with roll calls. I've had a few great ones, a few ok ones, and one complete dud. You just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewut Posted April 11, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2009 For our last cruise, I started two roll calls. The first one went off into cyberspace it was on there so long. Then someone else started one and it was the one that rolled. Only one couple showed up for the meet and greet onboard though. :( Sewut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccer Posted April 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Our last roll call was really quite until about 3 months before the cruise. It went from about 30 posts to over 500. Don't worry, enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNFAM Posted April 11, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2009 i went there all exccited to see who else was going to be on our valor sailing 10/04/2009 and there was no post at all.. so i started one and there has been no response!! how weird is that ????? im so bummed Don't think much of it, we leave in June I've started a roll call two different times with not very many responses each time, and finally the roll call disappeared. And even the newest one has only about 36 post. My last Conquest cruise we had over two hundred post on our roll call. But don't worry it will pick up as time gets closer.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerman101 Posted April 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2009 My roll call for my Victory cruise last month was huge. We had a blast with it. Our roll call for our October Freedom cruise has been plowing right along for months already. Numerous people post every day and our list has already gotten quite big and that one is still 6 months away. Now our next cruise is on the Fascination in June and it is dead. I think four people have responded and it was just to say "yea, we are on this cruise too". It is kind of a bummer since the last one was so much fun. I chalk a lot of it up to the time of year and the fact that we will most likely be cruising with a lot of families. Also it is a 5 day cruise and I think people tend to book those closer to the actual date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran8778 Posted April 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted April 11, 2009 You could always move your trip to 9-20 and sail with us :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribbeanboy Posted April 11, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I started one a few weeks ago for the Carnival Freedom also on 10/4 and up to now only three other couples responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poobears Posted April 11, 2009 #19 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Last years RC thread was pretty dead. Think we had under 10 posts. This years is even worse with 3 posts and 2 are mine LOL Not a big deal since I probably wouldn't attend a meet and greet, seems funny that I pick the sailings with dead RCs though.

crazy cajun Posted April 11, 2009 #20 Share Posted April 11, 2009 our RC for the freedom on 5-9-09 has taken off. Over 100 names . It started real slow . op also thought she was talking to herself also. Give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted April 11, 2009 #21 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The roll call for our next cruise (in 2 weeks:D) only has about 230 posts and has been going for over a year. We have a cruise is September that has about 100 posts since it started last September. Our November cruise has 5 posts. 4 from us and 1 from somebody sailing the week before on the same ship:rolleyes: Didn't somebody say: Roll calls are like a box of chocolate. You never know what you'll get. We had one roll call that started about 16 months out and had almost 43,000 (not a typo - 43K) posts before sailing:eek: Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No response. I guess I have the ship to myself! It's also a very inexpensive time, rates the week before and after are higher. I'm thinking a lot of schools start about then.

I took my kids to a roll call on RCL and about 18 people showed. RCL does a little presentation and a drawing. NOT ONE person spoke to anyone who was not with their own party and when I tried they acted like they couldn't hear. Very odd. My kids swore off the meet and greets from then on. I can't blame them.

You haven't seen anything like our meet & greet will be...I ASSURE you that!;):eek::D I guess I have been fortunate with roll calls. We had a blast with our first one, and it didn't really come alive til about 2 months before.
