Hi Ladies,

This is a terrific thread and a great help to many who are using it. However, as sometimes happens, it has drifted away from the original purpose of the thread. So, please only posts about items that you have to offer to others, and related posts.

Thanks and happy posting!

Hi Eileen,

I would try posting your question here on the NCL board, and I feel sure you will get lots of ideas for your meet and greet.

Hi Gypsea,

The Roll Calls here on Cruise Critic are provided so that you can find other folks sailing on the same ship and date as you, get to know them pre-sailing, and then meet on board.

As far as I know, but Ive been wrong before (maybe once:-), there is no other sign up for NCL.

WHAT ARE THEY?

Roll Calls were started for individual cruise lines so that our members could "meet up and chat with" others who they'lll be sailing with. This made it much easier to find others on your cruise instead of scrolling through all the threads here on the main NCL board.

HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR ROLL CALL?

There is a separate ROLL CALLS section on the main page of our BOARDS. Here is a link directly to the ROLL CALL area for NCL. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=110 Click here and then locate the ship on which you'll be cruising. You'll then have to scroll and search for your particular cruise. NCL's roll calls are very popular and you can usually find a roll call for sailings within four to six months of your cruise.

WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND A ROLL CALL FOR MY SAILING?

You can start one! In the thread title, be sure to include the name of your ship, your sail date and year. Some roll calls get started very early, others start closer to sailing dates; some are very active; some tend to be a bit more quiet. Regardless of how active a roll call is, this is a great opportunity to meet some folks sailing with you.

IF MY ROLL CALL IS SLOW, CAN I POST IT ON THE MAIN BOARD?

No. Please don't post threads looking for others cruising with you on the main boards. Roll calls became so popular that there was a need to set up a separate area for them. We ask that you keep roll call discussions to your roll call in the ROLL CALL area and keep the main board open for general NCL cruise discussions.

If you need assistance with a roll call, please feel free to contact me or Host Star and we'll be happy to help. hostmama@cruisecritic.com or hostStar@cruisecritic.com.
