smallworldtraveller Posted April 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2011 what information would you like to see on your roll calls that is helpful to a first time cruiser or even the seaonal cruiser? That makes it fun, rallies the cruisers together, makes planning fun, special events. What made your roll call special? I am one roll call that is very active and the other roll call well no so. How do you create a spark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted April 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2011 the only spark is people, booked on the cruise, and are cc members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted April 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hard to say how to create a spark. Some roll calls are full of active members and some are rather lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfm69 Posted April 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have found that getting everyone on the roll call to post pictures of themselves makes it fun and easier to find the group on the ship at the meet & greet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallworldtraveller Posted April 16, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted April 16, 2011 thanks all I have a good friend meeting me for this cruise and she is travellingfrom Australia miles for this cruise so i want her to meet a lot of people and have lots of fun. I was thinking the roll call would be one way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger belle Posted April 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I agree with some of the other posters...it is hit or miss and depends on the CC members who happen to be going on your particular cruise...sometimes you get a great mix of active members and then sometimes it just doesn't seem to get rolling no matter what you do one thing I do that my fellow roll call members seem to like is to keep a running list of the roll call members and some basic information on each...here would be a brief sample Joe and Terri from Miami with their 2 daughters, ages 5 and 7 Lisa and 3 friends from Texas on first cruise Mark and Melissa from Iowa on their honeymoon As new members join the roll call, I simply copy the previous list, add the names of the new members and repost...it's fun to see the list grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Charlie Posted April 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Having a running roster certainly helps. But no matter what you do some roll calls just never get off the ground. We do put a link to our roll call in our signature which sometimes helps others find the spot. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasa1974 Posted April 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I agree it is a hit or miss. We did an eastern caribbean cruise with HAL on December 11th. We had a pretty good response to our roll call. But the cruise for December 4th had a much larger response. Hard to figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not everyone likes to share information. Even some CC members do not show location on the top banner. But I still like your idea.

98Charlie Posted April 17, 2011 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2011 tiger belle, Sounds like a fun idea. Unfortunately not everyone likes to share information. Even some CC members do not show location on the top banner. But I still like your idea.When we've done the "Roll Call Roster" we have added each screen name as they have joined. If I were doing a roll call for this thread it would look something like: nasa1974 - Cleveland, OH tiger belle - Louisiana 98Charlie - Charlie & DW - Central Ohio etc. If there is one that has only a screen name that's all I put in the roster. As roll call members get more comfortable they will ask that their names and locations be added. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get the Roll Call link in your signature? Thanks for your help, Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help, Tammy Open your roll call and copy the link to your roll call. Go to Edit Signature (like you did for posting your countdown clock). Paste the link in your signature. Highlight the link and click on the icon. A window will pop up. Just type in what you want to appear in your sig like: Join Our Roll Call Here Hope this helps.
