River Cruise Roll Calls
LauraS replied to bfamily9's topic in Need Help Using the Forums? Check Here!
Hello! Actually, there's a dedicated River Cruise Roll Call forum; here's a link: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/546-all-other-river-cruise-roll-calls/ You can search within by MONTH. -
Hey Jimbo, did you see our poll a few weeks ago? It asked whether any of our members had ever thought about selling cruises -- I had a hunch and I was right! There were a lot of positive responses to that poll, so I thought it might be a good Q&A subject. There will be no selling of cruises in this Q&A. This is 100% about learning what it might be like to work at something you love. You can ask the nice folks at Avoya ANYTHING about becoming an agent. I like to give our members an opportunity to interact with all facets of the cruise industry. Members are always sending in ideas for a Q&A, and I try to make them happen. Do you have an interesting idea for a Q&A? Laura

Hi Everyone! We are very pleased to welcome Rudi Schreiner, President, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of AmaWaterways River Cruises! Mr. Schreiner will be here on April 24th, but you can start asking your questions right away in our special Q&A forum located here! Now read on to learn more about Mr. Schreiner! Visionary river cruise line executive Rudi Schreiner was born at the heart of the Danube River in Vienna, Austria. His study of architectural design converged with a passion for traveling the world, and he became a leader in transforming modern river cruising, pioneering new itineraries made possible by the 1992 opening of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and earning the title of the “Godfather of River Cruising”.

So the system is set to send notifications to you if you have posted to (or followed) a topic (or, even a forum if you have chosen to FOLLOW that forum). You can change this by clicking on your member name (upper right) and selecting "Managed Followed Content". I also see some of you are talking about emails from your cruise line -- sorry cannot help with that. BUT, what I'm really interested in are any emails you have received that indicates it is from one of our hosts. Any auto notifications should be coming from cruise critic and not naming a host. Please forward me one or two of these emails at: community@cruisecritic.com Laura

Hi Ate: At the current time we have paused all Meet & Mingle gatherings across all lines. There is no ETA for a restart. Laura -
Big yacht or small cruise ship? Ritz-Carlton certainly wants you to think of Evrima as a yacht (after all, it's in the brand name). Externally the 623-feet-long vessel sports a decidedly yacht-like look, with a terraced aft and sleek design. But inside, the space distribution has the familiar feel of a cruise ...View the full article

The evening included performances by the award-winning Icelandic singer-songwriter Briet and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. The festivities continue when Godmother Katy Perry boards Norwegian Prima to officially name and christen the vessel with the ceremonial champagne bottle break across the ship’s hull, marking the start of Norwegian Prima’s maiden voyage. In part two, “Norwegian Prima: Discover Innovation,” viewers receive an inside look into brand and industry first experiences debuting aboard the ship, including Indulge Food Hall featuring 11 different eateries; the three-level Prima Speedway; two adrenaline-pumping slides, The Drop and Rush; the sustainable Metropolitan Bar; and a three-story transformational theater showcasing “The Price is Right” and the Tony Award®-nominated musical “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.” “With the debut of the Prima Class, we wanted our guests to be amazed from the moment they stepped on board, instantly creating everlasting memories with family and friends,” said Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line. “And what better way to kick off that very first memory than christening Norwegian Prima in one of the most beautiful and spectacular countries in the world, Iceland. With this EMBARK episode, I’m extremely excited to offer our guests, for the first time, an inside look at this momentous milestone, as well as inspire them to join us for their dream vacation at sea.” Hosted by American television personality and world traveler, Zay Harding, and Lexie Alford (aka Lexie Limitless), the Guinness World Record Holder for the youngest person to travel to every country by the age of 21, viewers will follow them along in this EMBARK episode as they experience everything Norwegian Prima has to offer, as well as discover the natural wonders of the land of fire and ice.
