Welcome to Cruise Critic and thank you for your first post! However, you have posted on the Cruise Blogs & Websites Forum where members share the site address for their personal cruise-related travelogue blogs or websites. This is not the correct forum for your post since it is off-topic here.

 

When you have a chance, please read the Sticky post titled What is a ROLL CALL and how do I find mine? at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=44773. The post will tell you about the Cruise Critic Roll Call Forums and how they are the place for you to get to know the other Cruise Critic members sailing with you before the cruise.

 

To help you locate your Roll Call thread quicker, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=991872 for your Celebrity Equinox "Connections" Roll Call thread titled 5/3/2010 Eastern Med from Rome.

 

To research for information about your ports of call click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 for all the Ports of Call Forums. That is where you can research for hotels, tours, excursions, transportation etc. Your fellow Cruise Critic members post their reviews/recommendations there. In your case, you will want to click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19 to research our Ports of Call - Europe Forums.

 

Also, your fellow Roll Call members may have posted important information in your Roll Call thread too. In fact, a Roll Call thread is the ONLY place on Cruise Critic where members can post personal ads about sharing tours, excursions, transportation etc. with their fellow Cruise Critic Roll Call members. A Roll Call thread has a "captive audience" since Roll Call members are sailing together!

 

If your cruise is 7 days or more, don't forget to register for the "Connections" Party hosted by Celebrity Cruises for you and your fellow Cruise Critic Roll Call members. This will be a time and place on the ship with refreshments to meet everyone face to face after getting to know one another on your Roll Call thread. Click the following links for more information:

 

- Connections Info and Celebrity Connections FAQ

- Register to attend a Connections Party

To research for information from your fellow Cruise Critic members that have sailed your line, ship or itinerary before, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28 for the Celebrity Cruises Forum. For additional information, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=114 & research our Ask a Cruise Question Forum for even more information.

 

Click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/index.php for the list of all Cruise Critic message board forums and be sure to read all Announcement and Sticky posts at the top of the various forums for very important information or instructions before you post.

 

Please feel free to use the Search this Forum feature on all Cruise Critic message board forums with your key word or words. It will help narrow down the threads you will want to read during your research. Also, you can see if your inquiry has been asked and answered before. And it probably has... many, many times!

 

Click the Search this Forum feature to open the drop down. Type in your key word or words then click the little Go button. I suggest you do not try a search with too many or too common of key words at one time. This will sometimes overwhelm the search feature with too many threads to scan and it will time out. From time to time, you may receive an error message that says "Search function is down". PLEASE TRY AGAIN in a few moments. This message will often pop up during the busiest times of the day. Also, click here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=969846 for the Sticky post titled How To Perform More Detailed and Specific Searches on the Boards.

 

Be sure to read our FAQ at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/faq.php, especially the Getting Started section. You will see how a new topic should be consistent with the specific forum you choose. It also gives a brief summary of the topics covered in some of the forum sections. Other important FAQ sections are Subscriptions (Receiving e-mail notification of replies to posts and threads you specify) and User Maintenance. Please note, in the newer FAQ sections added with the last system update, you will find references to certain options or features not in use at this time.

 

In the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free membership, please note the Please Browse BEFORE You Post section since many of your questions may have been asked and answered before as mentioned above.

 

When doing your research, be sure you are on the correct forum. After you have browsed/researched for your topic and possibly not found an answer, word your new inquiry title so the other members scrolling through the thread titles will know exactly the information you seek. This will help the members as they scroll through the thread titles so they can reply to you. It is best to limit each inquiry to only one topic or concerning one cruise line, port of call, etc. You will get more replies that way. Be sure to mention your cruise line, ship & sail date in your inquiry if it will help the members with their answers to you.

 

If you wonder what some of the icons/symbols/arrows on Cruise Critic mean, just use your mouse to hover your cursor over the item and most often a tool-tip will appear with the name or action.

I sincerely hope this information will be helpful to a new member and glad to have you aboard Cruise Critic!
