Mynki Posted December 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I seem to lack the ability to send them on this forum. Can anybody else send them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbsey Posted December 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2015 It's a glaring over sight in cruise critic. I can create a friends list but can find no real way of communicating with those "friends" within the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted December 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) PM's or Private Message feature was disabled about a year ago during one system upgrade . Seem's that the PM feature was being abused by members. Maybe a Moderator can answer this question. Edited December 14, 2015 by Kamloops50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger1964 Posted December 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I don't know reason, but it really is a shame. On Flyertalk (which seems to be quite similar to CC??), it comes in handy. It isn't like we are trading national security secrets or will never meet up in person if we happen to be on same sailing. I suppose we could start some kind of email tree starting with email address sharing while on board with each other. There have been many times I wish I could have PM'd a person, instead of posting a tangent to an existing thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynki Posted December 14, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's a real shame. Moderators - If you're reading this, could you not reinstate the PM feature and then just remove it from anyone who abuses it going forward? You could even ban users accordingly if they abuse it. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted December 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 14, 2015 PM's or Private Message feature was disabled about a year ago during one system upgrade . Seem's that the PM feature was being abused by members.Maybe a Moderator can answer this question. I've been on CC about 12 years and I"m pretty sure they've never worked on this site. Are you sure you're not thinking of some other website? I could be wrong, it's been known to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted December 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 14, 2015 PM's or Private Message feature was disabled about a year ago during one system upgrade . Seem's that the PM feature was being abused by members.Maybe a Moderator can answer this question. Are you sure it was only about a year ago? I did not think CC has had a PM for a very long time. At least 5 years if not longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted December 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) By the way, as the OP's question refers to communicating with a TA, please see below : ====================================== Please review our Guidelines carefully. Quoting a portion of our guidelines: "...There shall be no third-party recommendation (whether positive or negative in tone) of travel agencies on any forums within Cruise Critic. General discussions regarding the TYPE of AGENCY to be used to purchase a cruise will be allowed, as long as no recommendations for any source of purchase are posted. Touting of your personal cruise agent or cruise line "personal cruise consultant" (or any other venue by which you purchase a cruise) is not allowed on our message boards. Postings that contain "tell them John sent you" will be removed without notice. This means you should not ask about someone's travel agent, nor should you respond in kind. Offering to email someone your travel agent's name or info is also not allowed, nor is asking members to email you for the information. It also means you cannot post links (Or Hints) to travel agencies, no matter what the specific reason. Cruise Critic will remove violations of the "third-party recommendation" guideline without warning... Please do not reply to this post. If you have any questions, feel free to email me by clicking on the link below. Thank you for your understanding.
