Ship and cabin number?

 

Can I IM you?  I don't feel safe publishing it on here.

I have been sentenced to a cabin in the very front of deck 8 and believe my "balcony" is actually half metal that you can't see through, but there is a small opening on the top half that will actually let air in.  Does anyone know anything about this?  Please?

You can ask for a post to be removed, etc. See the first pinned thread in this area, How to report a post. 

What does "First Pinned Thread in this Area" mean?  I don't see it.  Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Is there any way I can delete a post I made on two of my upcoming cruise?  I'm trying to represent CC and tying together a Meet and Mingle but I need to either edit or delete a post on both boards.

@weebleone you might also want to add this person to your Ignore list, so you don't see them anymore.

Sounds great!  Can you tell me how?

There is a CC Member with the screen name of  TNGALOHA who replied to a message I posted regarding the MSC Davina.  Although I don't know how she knows me, she used my real first name on one of her "nastygrams" she posted on the CC Forum for the MSC Davina on September 26th, I think.  I am very offended that she used my real name and if this is a common practice, I am going to have to use a fake name. She probably got it from the Roll Call but I didn't think we were supposed to use our names for any other purpose.

Thanks for any help.

During my cruise I am not aware of any issues related to CV19.  

 

For me, my only complaint was with myself for not booking B2B.  

 

I fear the free balcony upgrade offer will soon disappear... 

So stop beating yourself up and join us on the Devinia!  Super-check fares for singles as well as doubles.

On Meraviglia this past weekend there were daily programs left every day in the cabin.  Paper version, not "look in the app". 

 

  

YAY!  Thanks for responding.  I hope all goes well when we go!  Did any COVID come up during  your cruise?

Does anyone know if MSC is still giving out maps and daily schedules?  I am in a cabin right in the back with the balcony that is also in the very back on deck 12.  I am thrilled  but the B2B stuff is really complicated.  So many of us want a M&M but MSC won't budge.  

Is there any way to delete all of my posts from a board?  I am not going on the cruise and would rather have no one know I ever signed up.  Please help me.

We are leaving on October 5th and really need help contacting NCL about throwing us a small M&M on the Sun.  How can I accomplish this?

Please tell me if I can use $150 non-refundable OBC I received at the time I booked my cruise toward $500 purchase of CruiseNext certificates?

Yes the Roll Call tool is under construction, but others can still find it by scrolling down the list of NCL Sun Roll Call forum threads. This is how we all did it for years before the tool was added.

 

As you know, it is titled Norwegian Sun Roll Call - August 19, 2019 at

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2665453-norwegian-sun-roll-call-august-19-2019/ where you and others have been posting since May 23, 2019.

 

Please note the  Roll Call Tool - Under Construction announcement at https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2677726-roll-call-tool-under-construction/?tab=comments#comment-57854189:

Hi Everyone!   

 

While your roll call topics are available to read and post in their respective ROLL CALL FORUMS, our FIND YOUR ROLL CALL search tool that allows you to easily search for your roll call is currently under the weather.  New roll calls are not being added into the search tool at the moment.  My team is working to diagnose and correct the issues and I will update when I know more.

 

In the meanwhile, roll calls can be found/searched for by browsing or searching in the roll call forums themselves. You can get to the Roll Call Forums here:  https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/20-roll-calls/

 

Once you locate the Roll Call forum for your line and ship:

• Click the forum name to open the forum 
• Browse the pages of topic titles to find your particular cruise sail date.
• Click the title that matches your cruise
• Read Posts/Click Reply to post your own message on the roll call thread.
• Type your message in and click Submit Reply button. Your post will appear in the topic. We feel sure your fellow Roll Call members will post welcoming replies. You are now forming your on-line relationship with cruisers just like you...

What if there isn't a Roll Call for my sailing?

You can start one!

• Click ROLL CALL FORUMS
• Click your Ship's or Cruise Line's name to open the correct forum
• Browse the topic titles shown in the forum to double check there is no existing Roll Call topic for your sail date. 
• Click the Start New Topic button at the top of the Ship's roll call forum.
•  In the Title Box, type the name of your ship, your sail date and year. 
  • When you create a new ROLL CALL topic, you MUST include the sail date in the subject line, and here's the suggested format:    Example: January 1, 2016
• Type a message in the message box and click the Submit Topic button.

 

Thanks for your patience while we work on  the tool!

 

 

Just please be patient. It will be fixed when it is fixed. 🙂

Thanks for the compassion. I think the problem was the dash (-) that was added between the words "Call" and "August" by whoever started the thread.  Once I was notified of that it was easy-peasy.  That was all the information we needed.  By the way, I wasn't the only one who had this problem.  I was just trying to get it fixed for me and everyone else.

It's the third post in the Sun Roll Call forum. It likely is not showing up in the finder because it has a dash in the title.

 

HI BROBERTS!!!  I can't thank you enough for solving this mystery!  Maybe now we can all be together and make some plans...all because of you.  Thanks so much!

Come on guys...how long can it take to fix this?  We're trying to get a group together for a M&M, you don't want us to chat on "other" boards...what are we supposed to do?  This cruise was originally scheduled to go to CUBA, but has been rerouted to THE BAHAMAS.  

PLEASE HELP US!  Quite literally...SOS!

We are trying to start a thread for the August 19th sailing of the NCL Sun with no luck.  At least two different CC members have tried to do this with no luck.  PLEASE help!

First of all, BOO to the new format.  The old one wasn't broken so why did CC mess with it?  I'm trying to edit my history of cruises I've taken but cannot find the link.  Can someone help me please?

This comes up when you're trying to read something that requires you to be logged in (typically a roll call thread). If you're using a browser that has retained an automatic log-in cookie from the last time you visited CC, the page will refresh after a couple of seconds and you will be logged-in and the content will be displayed.

 

If that doesn't happen, you've lost the automatic log-in cookie and you will need to log in manually. Just click the blue button that says "Existing user? Sign In".

 

There are many reasons why the log-in cookie may get lost. You or your browser may have cleared the cache, or the cookie may have got corrupted, or you may have been browsing using an In Private / Incognito window (as I do). A fresh log-in should solve the problem, and only takes a few seconds.

 

If that does not solve the problem, then the next suggestion would be to manually clear your browser's cache and cookies (or all of the cruisecritic.com cookies, if you know how to be that selective), and try again.

Thanx for the info.  Now I have to find out what a incognito window is.  This has helped a bunch.

What is this all about?  It comes up every time I try to view something in CC, but if I just wait long enough, it goes away but right now it's stuck.  How can I fix it?

Just about every time I TRY to log in I get an error message saying I'm not allowed in.  Come on folks!  I'm on two active board, and even though I log in manually, I'm still getting this message.  HELP!!!  BTW, I don't think anyone likes the changes to CruiseCritic and a bunch of us are posting on social media instead.

WHY are you not allowing me to sign in?  I am in a very active roll call and because I'm one of the coordinators of the Cruise Critic activities I need to keep on board.

I would like to show the past cruises under my name. How do I do this? Where are the directions? Thanks!

Since they changed Cruise Critic, can anyone tell me how to edit my signature?

I don't like this new board at all!   WAY too hard to navigate and I can't even figure out how to edit my signature.  Changes are fine...slowly and with lots of instructions until regular users are used to the new way.  How do I edit my signature?

OK. My story of woe with Diamonds International continues, and this time it goes all the way to their Headquarters in NYC. If this problem gets resolved, as one of their Customer Service Supervisor promised, that will be the end of it. If not...we'll see. I turned the problem over to Mastercard BEFORE she contacted me and promised me the world. She promised to return the original ring I turned in at Diamonds International in Costa Maya (said they have to keep them in the vault for 3 months in their CM store), AND give me the $550 credit back to the charge card. I haven't heard back from her for almost 2 weeks, not returning numerous phone calls and emails. The fun thing is that we have two more cruises, the first one is leaving on September 1. Doesn't it figure? We're stopping in both Cozumel and Costa Maya. Hmmm. Not a threat, not gonna make a big deal out of it, but if they do not resolve this issue as promised, I will warn each and every person on the CC board and "other" social media sites. I pray it doesn't come down to this. All I want now is for the Diamonds International Customer Service Supervisor (whose name I will not disclose at this time) to come through as promised, and contact me either by email or phone. Easy Peasy, right?

Trouble with buying diamonds in a foreign country or onboard is how does on tell if they are real? And don't get me on the gemstone Tanzanite!

 

 

 

Here is my take after 2 Caribbean cruises. My wife is a huge jewelry wearer and spends big $$$ all the time. On our first cruise we were very careful and stayed away from most jewelry shops except for several small purchases on the ship last day. Second cruise I was not so lucky. Got talked into a nice looking Invicta watch. Retail $800, got it onboard for under $200. When I got back home, found it on AMZN for $107!! Then when Wife cruised a few shops in Roatan with all their sparkle, she got trapped on a complete set of Zultanite. Really pretty stuff. Bartered down to $1,200. Got it home to find one of the earrings had broke away from the hook. Took it to our jeweler friend and discovered that it was cold soldered. He replaced the ring and laser welded both of the pair. He also discovered that most of the post on the bracelet holding the Zultanite stones cracked. They had apparently replaced the original white stones and while doing so cracked them. Cheap ass Mexican jewelry that our jeweler said was most likely made in some 3rd world country.

 

 

We will never buy any type of jewelry on a cruise again. In the past all her jewelry is southwest from the same custom maker in Albuquerque and or Calvin Begay. Never again!

AMEN! My biggest problem is DI's lack of customer service. I turned this over to my charge card company to handle.

How can we warn people ono the Caribbean boards? Diamonds International is all over down there, ripping off people in every port, from what I can tell.
