Why is there no separate ROLL thread for SS?

[SanFranCruizer]

Many of the other cruise threads on CC have a separate thread for Roll Calls under the roll call section. Why isn't there one for Silversea? So many of the threads here get buried among roll calls.

[LOVE@CRUISE]

Great question! I agree we need one: certainly we are a group large enough to warrant this Host Dan?????

Hi there!

 

We usually look to see how many roll calls there are in the first few pages of a forum to determine whether we open separate forums. Usually, there are many complaints that there just "too many roll calls" and they are taking over. Right now, this forum is just at a point where we could go either way. Which also means that some of you will be thrilled about new forums, and some of you will be annoyed that they'll have to post in other forums.

 

So, what does everyone think?

 

Yes to separate roll call forums for Silversea??

And remember, if the answer is "yes" there will be no posting of roll calls on this forum at all! Really think about this...

I don't think we need one. My opinion.

[CASHIPman]

I agree with duct tape. Silversea isn't Carnival with dozens of ships, each holding thousands of people. I'd keep the "roll calls" here because it would be more manageable and cause more sharing of information.

[wripro]

Lines like Silversea and Seabourn are small enough so that roll calls can be managed in their own boards.

[Emtbsam]

I agree - we do not need a separate roll call. Sorry Mike.

Please don't start a "roll call" that will put SS into the mass market category. Getting groups together has been simple and easy -- let's continue with individual efforts.

+1 no separate rc

[Tyler919]

No way no how

[Jaffaoz]

I think the status quo is fine.

Why fix something that ain't broke!

Very well summarized. Agree!!! This is working fine. It's not like some of the mega, massive cruise lines where the number of various posts are too many. This is doing well and is very manageable.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

I agree with everyone else...it works fine the way it is now.

My vote would be FOR a seperate roll call thread.

[bobndee]

My vote would be to keep it here. All things Silversea in one place.

I don't see any reason why SS can't have a separate board. I think it would be much more convenient. Paul Gauguin Cruises has a separate one, and they only have the one ship! It began almost immediately after the new company took over from Regent. I find it very convenient. I visit both boards, the PG board for more general questions/discussion, and my specific roll call of 6/26 for tour discussions, etc.

 

I think the same would work very well for SS, which after all has 6 ships - not just one.

No roll call board, thank you.

[Goldens4]

No separate roll call. Everyone has been able to meet and greet. Why fix what ain't broke.:)

[duct tape]

Thanx all & Goldens4!

[unfathomable]

Keep roll calls here please.

[Silver Spectre]

Cannot see the need. The current group of posters is small enough that all the active threads appear on less than one screen.

 

Keep everything here.

[ClaudiaF]

I think we need one here. If you have to search the forums to find if there are previous posts for roll call of your cruise you may not find it if you don't put into the search line the correct way a previous posted started the thread. So we then wind up with many threads for the date. As I couldn't find a thread for our next cruise, I started one. Only 2 people found it for roll call and then it just seemed to get " high jacked" by posts by others on other dates cruises.

It would just make it easier imho fwiw:D

[NJ Cruiserman]

Keep roll calls here please.

Keep as is.
