missskybird Posted September 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2013 We have only done short cruises before but have now booked three longer cruises and joined the roll calls. I am really perplexed by some of the abbreviations used such as: 'doing the TP on the Solstice' followed by another TA on the Reflection'. I get the meaning of B 2 B but the above two have left me scratching my head. Can someone please clue me in? Many thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted September 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2013 TP appears to be Trans-Pacific, while TA can be Trans-Atlantic, or Travel Agent. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorisis Posted September 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have used Cruise critic for several years and still often find the Alphabet soup hard to translate. And I am also guilty of using those shortcuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
