bob brown Posted October 23, 2017 #26 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Nothing stopping you from setting up your own private get together. Common to meet pre sail away or pre muster You could set up a separate roll call meet and greet, but for it to be “private”, you would have to arrange a venue with the ship’s group coordinator in advance... Otherwise it would have to be in some “public” venue... Unless... it was small enough to hold in some attendee’s suite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our roll call is just meeting in Schooner Bar pre muster Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOTall1 Posted October 23, 2017 #28 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't see what time or day the M&M on my cruise is scheduled for. If we register, are we obligated to go? I don't want to be locked in if there's a different event I'd rather be at scheduled for the same time. Likewise, I don't want to be excluded if the timing is right.

No, there is no obligation to attend. When you register, you should get an invite in your cabin with date, time and location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 23, 2017 #30 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You are able to Register for the M&M 1 year from Date of your cruise. By joining your Roll Call, you will get to meet your fellow cruise mates and join in many of the activities that are planned during Sea Days or Private Tours. You can be as active as you wish. Not all Roll Calls are active, it will depend on the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! :) It's not that I want to ditch the party and only attend if there's something to gain. I just don't want to have to come back early from a shore excursion or something like that in order to make the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to have to come back early from a shore excursion or something like that in order to make the party. If the itinerary allows, Meet and Mingles are typically the first sea day, sometime around 10am. I have never had a meet and mingle scheduled for a port day, but we did have one scheduled for day 1 at 5pm, during sail away. First sea day on that sailing was day 6, but a day 1 meet and mingle didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho and Barb Posted October 23, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Nothing stopping you from setting up your own private get together. Common to meet pre sail away or pre muster Have done just that and you are right...Great way to meet. But I was referring to is most meet and mingles are a quick introduction of the crew staff...A little talk about the ship and then the raffle...Everyone leaves. Just thought it might be nice if the host would go around the asking everybody who they are and where they are from Sent from Psycho's iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is no obligation to attend, it is a courtesy to do so, if you sign up... It can be somewhat embarrassing if a couple of hundred sign up, and RCI sets up for it accordingly, and then only a few show up.... Not so much on RCI, since they conduct the event, but I have seen it on other lines, where the roll call leader does the arranging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 23, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Confirmed M&M on our last cruise was set for the following morning at 10 AM, they did correct that to the first sea day 4 days later. Had they kept that time, they wouldn't have anyone on the ship because we were all touring Oslo.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted October 23, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I enjoy the informal meet and mingles that the roll calls form where everyone meets at a bar either before or after muster. I don't see much meeting or mingling at the RCL organized ones anymore. They just have a staff member speak,do a couple of raffles and then everyone leaves.

Desert Cruizers Posted October 24, 2017 #40 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Meet & Mingles can very greatly from ship to ship, depending on the size of the Roll Call, how active they are. One of the organized activities that appear to be less popular, are the Cabin Crawls most likely because we have all seen the various cabins. I had some 32 signed up on our last cruise yet 6 arrived so not sure if the remaining people totally forgot or changed their minds. The 6 arrived at ours and we socialized for over 30 minutes . i almost should have had the party there.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted October 24, 2017 #41 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Pretty good ones on some ships like RC logo Cups, pens, backpack, wine & champagne. I certainly don’t go for the prizes but when my prize was one of the blinking rings they give out on 70’s night I didn’t know what to think! This was on Grandeur in August. The prizes on Anthem in September were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
