kenisawake Posted April 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Why does Fred Olsen not have a roll call on cruise critic to enable us to hook up with fellow passengers to arrange private tours. So frustrating!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiebandit Posted April 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It does but nobody on fred olsen cruises seem to reply Sent from my SM-T813 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted April 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I disagree as I've been on two FO roll calls before. Sure there are not as many responses as one sees on the bigger U.S. cruise lines but FO's ships are much smaller and I think there are just fewer Brits participating overall on Cruise Critic.

Pugwash123 Posted April 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have started roll calls on Fred Olsen previously and have been successful in finding people to tour share. Your post has prompted me to start a roll call for my next Fred Olsen cruise but I am not hopeful of getting many responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenisawake Posted April 3, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I disagree as I've been on two FO roll calls before. Sure there are not as many responses as one sees on the bigger U.S. cruise lines but FO's ships are much smaller and I think there are just fewer Brits participating overall on Cruise Critic. But if you open up the “Find Your Roll Call” tab in the header on the boards home page then Fred Olsen isn’t listed in the Cruise lines. I only found an independent Fred Olsen Roll Call Page by following a link on a closed thread in the Fred Olsen General Forum on the message boards. This isn’t user friendly. I’ve been happily using cruise critic with no problem for 16 years until now. My question to Cruise Critic is why they are not included along with all the other cruise lines in Find Your Roll Call. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted April 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2018 That's why both Fred Olsen and Saga need each its own Roll Call Sub-forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted April 4, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I mostly use the app and if you click on ‘roll calls’ on there, Fred Olsen roll calls is listed along with all the others and the link works fine.

SausPud Posted April 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Started my roll call March 2017 and no one but me in it. Either no members of cruise critic on my cruise. No one on cruise critic can find it. Everyone on FO is too old to know how to use a computer or forums. Probably all three, lol. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2468417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelingman52 Posted April 15, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I also had posted on the roll call each time i have cruised and have been disappointed with the lack of replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted April 15, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've never received a reply to mine either so I've given up on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausPud Posted April 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Maybe Coravel and Travelingman52 need to book a cruise with me, It's the only way we will have active members on the roll call, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted April 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Good thinking SausPud. But I doubt that anyone sensible would want to go to Russia this coming June. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausPud Posted April 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Or Greenland this August, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted April 18, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'd be prepared to swap in the present situation we have with Russia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Converted to cruising Posted June 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've joined the FO roll call for 18th October sailing from Sri Lanka to Mauritius on Boudicca and there is only one other member (who set it up ) on there. It would be nice for some more to join in as I know it is a busy sailing if only to share information and tips about tours etc. Hopefully some more will join in before we sail. I've always found roll calls helpful on previous trips but admit this is my first with Fred Olsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb125 Posted June 7, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Why don't you try the Fred Olsen Cruise Group on Facebook. There are always a lot of people on there going on the same cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Converted to cruising Posted June 7, 2018 #18 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion which is a good idea but unfortunately I'm not on Facebook. Will keep trying the roll call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb125 Posted June 7, 2018 #19 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It's easy enough to get on Facebook even if you don't use it for anything else but the group. It's a private one so you have to be accepted to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
