:confused: I don't understand.

 

What treats?

What "automatly"? Automatically? Why would treats 'automatically' be delivered to your cabin? I truly don't understand your message.

I only post my cabin number after the cruise. Beforehand maybe the deck, but most often category #.

[Tanker4]

Never been a problem for us or anyone we've cruised with that I know of.

Somebody on here joking about if others knew my cabin number. they would keep sending room service to my room just to harass me.

We don't post any cruise information before our cruises. If we're writing a review or answering questions after, then we will. It's simply a matter of personal preference, not any specific "Something bad might happen" reason. However, we do not ever post personal information on any public forum (and we don't belong to Facebook or Twitter or whatever).

"Is there a downside to posting your cabin number on these boards, mainly your “cruise roll call”? Does anyone know of any problems or fraud? "

 

People post their room numbers all the time on CC. I have never heard or read of it ever being an actual issue for anyone.

I never post personal information like that anywhere on the internet. Period. I will after I return from the cruise but not before. Which is why we do not do any social websites like Facebook, etc. by choice.

I doubt if anonymous room service would be an issue. I'd guess they have "caller id" just to be sure that doesn't happen.

 

They always seem to know my room number and never ask for my name. Caller id lets them prevent kids or jokesters from stupid pranks.

I guess what everyone is saying is that . please charge that to my cabin, I'm Fred Smith cabin # m22. And then you would be charged, and never know until you are half way home and wonder why your sail and sign was a zillion dollars. Right?

I never leave my house without hiring a baby sitter for my cats, so my house is never empty. And so far as I can tell it was a ship's employee in the TA department that was robbing cruisers homes when they were on their cruise.

Nobody I know of or ever heard about either. And I imagine if it was really a problem in the many years I've been on Cruise Critic I would have read numerous posts from people "warning" others about it before now. Yet, that's never happened, so that must mean it hasn't been an issue.

 

If people want to live in fear worrying about what likely will never happen, then that's fine for them. Sounds like a tempest in a teacup to me.

I think that's why they call it a "sign and sail" card - you have to SIGN to be charged.

 

We, too, have a cat sitter but also an alarm system.

Is there a downside to posting your cabin number on these boards, mainly your “cruise roll call”? Does anyone know of any problems or fraud?

 

Personally, I never announce on the internet (this board or elsewhere) what my cabin number is.

[GlendaleCruiser]

I still do not understand what someone can do, knowing that Paul & Jeannie are in cabin a123?

 

 

I don't get that, either.

Can't imagine what anyone would use the information for.

[GlendaleCruiser]

On our last roll call, we knew who was in what cabin. Made it easier if someone wanted to call up and meet for a drink after M&G but otherwise, no big deal.

I frequently use the cabin number from the roll call to invite everyone to a Roll Call luncheon.
