Lumpyguy1 Posted May 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well here I am, probably the most excited I've been for years about going on a brand new ship. But my roll call thread is the most dull and uninspiring that I've ever seen on CC. It's the biggest feat of engineering in the world, yet no one seems to be interested at all. Has anyone else had threads like this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmorton3360 Posted May 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I thought ours was a little slow. Checked the one before us and they had 1/5 th of our pages. I'm surprised also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the biggest feat of engineering in the world, yet no one seems to be interested at all. Has anyone else had threads like this ? I totally geek out over the amazing engineering and tech on the ships...my wife and a lot of others I talk to...meh it's just a floating hotel with restaurants and pools, etc. Weirdos ;) My Harmony cruise next May canNOT get here fast enough. Haven't done an Oasis class yet, can't wait to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethco Posted May 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Things are hopping for the transatlantic for Harmony. We are on the 3rd thread and still more than 5 months out. It's a really chatty bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipo Posted May 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's active, just extremely unexciting Hi Lumpyguy1, I'm in THAT roll call too. And I agree, it's the most apathetic thread I've ever been. I'm very excited about our sailing, despite being on Allure twice, I can't wait to step into the new beast in Barcelona. I've closely watching her progress, even I was looking some pictures of the delivery ceremony on social media today. Some people is secretly following our thread, but they prefer to stay quiet, but I know they are there watching us. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost impossible to talk generally to people on there. To quote you end up with a massive post. It's feeling like a waste of a ship at the moment. And the thread really is taking it for granted.......We're 31 days away and booking trips in advance is the biggest priority on there at the moment.

hexdragon Posted May 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My roll call is mostly about sharing excursions. No one talks about the ship, or anything on it, just "I have two extra seats in my tour"... BORING... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compman9 Posted May 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm on the 29th May cruise and am very much looking forward to it Not quite as much as when we booked and paid through the nose for an inaugural, only to be told they were adding two cruises on before our, but still looking forward to it :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nado44 Posted May 13, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 13, 2016 A roll call doesn't even exist for our upcoming July 2016 sailing on Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_nyc Posted May 13, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Our roll call has been very slow compared to all of the others I have been on. It has been pretty much the same people. Some come on once or twice and never return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymru cruiser Posted May 13, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 13, 2016 We are on her last med cruise before the t.a. So a lot of the guys on our roll call are coming over early to do a week around the med before the t.a back. Lucky! Our thread has been active and very friendly. 154 days to go!!!!!!!!

Antropos Posted May 13, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 13, 2016 A roll call doesn't even exist for our upcoming July 2016 sailing on Harmony. As far as I can see, there are indeed two roll calls missing: 21 July and 24 July. Note, though, that both these sailings have an overlap with other sailings. So, even though those two sailings do not (yet?) have their own roll call, the people embarking on 21 or 24 July can get acquainted with fellow passengers on the roll calls for the sailings of 17 July 2016 and 28 July 2016. Maybe not ideal, but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted May 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I can't wait until Harmony sails, and people start uploading YouTube videos :) I've seen everything RCI has put out there, and am super duper excited to see actual cruise videos!!!! I loved the Allure, and can't wait to get on the Harmony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, though that both thee sailings have an overlap with other sailings." A sailing is a sailing, what is an 'overlap'?

With "overlap" I mean that the next cruise is starting before the other is finished. For example, there is roundtrip from Barcelona from 21 July to 28 July. However, there is also a roundtrip from Civitavecchia from 24 July until 31 July... So, days 5-8 of that first sailing "overlap" with days 1-4 of the second.

From Florida ports all the time, there are 3 and 4 day cruises, and other sailings of 7 or more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are not; they are all on Harmony. The whole 2016 season Harmony is doing 7 night roundtrips out of Barcelona with a port call in Civitavecchia on day 5 and at the same time it's doing 7 night roundtrips out of Civitavecchia with a port call in Barcelona on day 4. They are taking in passengers in both cities. Edited May 13, 2016 by Antropos Added the length of the sailings: 7 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antropos Posted May 13, 2016 #24 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks for the clarification. I have only heard of that a few times. You're welcome. Actually, I never heard of this practice at all - not with RCI at least; it is more common with some other cruise lines. But I only just found out myself when I began looking for those missing roll calls :rolleyes: I do wonder if this has been RCI's plan all along, or that those sailings out of Civitavecchia were added later on possibly because of the sellings falling behind in the Med this year.

aweller88 Posted May 13, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm on that roll call too. I thought that was how roll calls were - it's our first cruise. Very excited for the cruise for our honeymoon. What else is usually discussed on the roll call? I suppose it's hard to talk about the ship when no one has sailed on it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
