Elite member "webinar" event

[Sandy R]

Just received an e-mail invitation... to join Princess for an exclusive Elite members only "webinar" event the end of March. Who else received this e-mail? Anyone ever participate in a "webinar" event? Sounds interesting so I registered.

[robgvic]

I plan on participating just in case they give us a great offer

[Pam in CA]

Haven't received the invitation. :( Would attend if I got the invitation.

[Hulagirl]

I would too, but also haven't received the invitation. Will be interested to hear about it.:)

I've read other posts about emails from Princess which I eventually received after others...could it have gone into a junk mail folder? :confused:

Got my invitation email, registered and have received the confirmation email from Princess. Looking forward to hearing what they have to say.

Hi All

 

I wonder if they will do anything like this for UK folks.

yours shogun

I don't see why it would be limited to the US...it's on the internet but maybe so. :confused:

 

Reading the description from their email, it looks like it's many of the things that have already been discussed on CC threads about their recently released 2012/2013 itineraries. I decided to register just in case there's something new to learn...I'm always looking to learn something new about cruising & it's why I participate on CC! :D

I wonder if the software allows you to see who's in the "audience". When I've gone to web events before, I've liked to sit in the back row. :)

Hi Astro flyer

 

The internet is part of the problem, often if I try and log into Princess US

 

I can get some pages as soon as I go for Prices etc it kicks me out

 

or sents me to Princess UK.

 

Even here in the UK my DW computer at work has IT support from Finland

 

as such if she tries to log on to Princess UK it kicks her out thinking she is in Finland, even when we have a cruise booked she can not access it.

I've never participated in one of these web events...could you briefly share what to expect?

[spunkie4]

Registered!

[silkismom]

Hmmmm, lets see CO time its at 10am--what does that translate to in UK, it might be during the night.

Every software is different and I'm unfamiliar with the one Princess is using.

 

What I would expect is that when you enter the webinar, you'll "see" who is "on stage" and they are the ones doing the talking (typing, most likely macros.) Who is in the audience will most likely be "muted". Some software allows you to see the "rows" and even list who is in each row. They can also allow those in the row to talk among themselves; those "on stage" don't see the chatter. I'm guessing that these options will be disabled and you'll see only what they want you to see. I don't know whether they will enable the ability to ask questions from the audience.

 

(Yes, I used to create and run events like this for a major online Internet company, but it's been years.)

[grandmaa]

I'm registered too!!! Would love some clues on how this mode of communication and information works before it gets started. Anyone familiar with this care to inform me/us?

Thanks bunches!

P.S. Wrote myself a note and posted it on my computer and in my calendar so as not to forget..March 31 at 7AM

Thanks for your insights on what's possible...particularly from an expert on such things.

 

After registering, it asked if I wanted to set up my computer for the webinair but didn't do it on my netbook. I'll try to get it set up on my desktop before the event because it's wired to my internet highspeed modem & much faster than my netbook.
