How to find a Meet & Mingle

[Michigan Escapees]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but since there are over 3,000 pages in this "Ask a Question" section, and no search box (???!), I'm posting this.  How can I figure out if there's a Meet & Mingle for my cruise (Regal Princess December 16)?  Where can I search for that?  I'm on the roll call page already, but there's no mention of it there.  I tried various ways to search before I posted here, but having spent about 30 minutes already, I gave up.  Thank you for any help!

Why not ask on the roll call?

[Essiesmom]

It is usually organized by someone on the roll call contacting someone at Princess.  Have you asked about it?  Cruise Critic does not sponsor the meetings on Princess.  EM

Thank you.  nobody on the roll call is responding to my question about whether one is set up yet, so I'm guessing it hasn't.  When you say "Have you asked about it?" I assume you mean in the roll call.  If not, and there's someplace else I should ask, please let me know where that is.  

I do know that Cruise Critic doesn't sponsor them.  I've only ever done one on a Royal Caribbean ship, and it was great.  Would really like to do another.  Do you know, are they just not as prevalent on Princess?  Just curious.

Sounds like you will be the organizer.

LOL, I'm thinking you might be right!  Not very many in the roll call, so I don't know where else to advertise it if I do organize one.  I guess I'll gauge interest in the roll call group and see what I get. 

I just wanted to make sure there wasn't someplace I wasn't looking, where there might already be one.

Thanks!

The only place to organize it will be on the Roll Call for that cruise.

 

If you want Princess to reserve space for you, here is the last contact I have for the Regal:

Info might be out of date, so I would try calling first. Anyone in that group can help.

OP, just my $.02, but the best M&M I ever attended was an "informal" gathering of interested roll call participants at the Outrigger Bar immediately following the muster drill on sailaway day.  The reason I enjoyed it was because people actually "mingled."

In general, shorter cruises have less roll call activity.   It looks like your cruise is a 7 day Caribbean and, if there hasn't been much activity so far, it's unlikely that it will dramatically change before your sail date.    Our last Princess cruise, a 12 night Alaska, had a very slow roll call, with not enough people/interest for a formal event.   Eventually there was an informal get-together set up for sail-away, but no one showed up but us!    Other Princess cruises have had exceptionally active and fun roll calls, with over 100 people showing up for the Meet & Mingle, and several thousand posts online.     It's all luck, often unpredictable.   Don't worry, you'll be able to meet people onboard pretty easily.
