CruisePlum is NOT a TA and they do NOT book cruises. From their website: If you decide to book a cruise found with their search engine, their site takes you directly to the cruise line site for booking. They are just a search engine such as our very own Cruise Critic Find a Cruise. However, Cruise Critic Find a Cruise does accept paid advertising from multiple sites. Our partners who list cruise pricing are required to provide prices for cruise only, per person, double occupancy, and are based on specific cabin types and sailing dates and may not be available for all cabin types/sailings. Taxes, fees and port expenses are not included in the price shown. Rates are in USD and valid for US and Canadian residents only. Fuel supplement may apply. When you book with one of our partners, please be sure to check their site for a full disclosure of all applicable fees as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation. For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. In addition, average cruise prices are updated nightly. Furthermore, Cruise Critic makes no guarantees for availability of prices advertised on our site. Listed prices may have blackout dates, qualifications or restrictions. Cruise Critic is not responsible for content on external web sites. Therefore, removed posts in this thread regarding CruisePlum have been restored. Happy sails to all, Host Kat

This has been a problem on my laptop IIRC since either the new software in October 2018 that has been tweaked often since then or the new servers in May 2019. You might want to contact CC Help Michell, Community Support Assistant, at help@cruisecritic.com. Maybe there is a correction in process by the IT team. Please send your email from your Cruise Critic email address of record and be sure to mention your Cruise Critic user name.

Please click here for the only information I have available at this time: Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle Note the following information appears on the page: Please note most Roll Calls are planning their own get-togethers during their cruises. Some at a mutually agreed place on the ship say at sail away or some other date, time & location during the cruise.
