onthewaves Posted October 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Looking for icebreaker games suitable for an onboard meet and greet, all ages (teens-adults), cruise-themed would be a bonus! Any suggestions? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted October 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2022 My opinion: icebreaker games are neither necessary nor desired. If the group is not too large, having people introduce themselves by giving their name, their CC name, and where they live is sufficient. If the person wants to add a bit of a travel history resume, that can be interesting as well. If the group is large enough where some may not be able to be heard, a microphone passed among the group would be desirable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride-The-Waves Posted October 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Meet and Mingles are essentially useless events. Some introductions - but who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted October 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2022 One of the M & M I attended a number of years ago was organized by a pre-school teacher who came up with the silliest games, asking intrusive questions and admonished those who would not actively participate. People were very uncomfortable. I organized one event and never again! One passenger showed up in his bathrobe, flying open..... Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times the events result in forming cruise-long friendships that, at times, spill over into weeks, months, and years of friendships. 5 hours ago, WatchHill said: I organized one event and never again! Along with a woman guest on my first very long cruise (shortly after I joined CC and learned of the Roll Calls), I was involved in arranging a M&G for our cruise. Lots of work on the computer communicating with everyone, but, it was enjoyable. And, the initial meeting was so successful that we met, as a group, additional times during our 64 day cruise. Some met in smaller groups; lunch groups formed from time to time. I have been involved with others as well. Some were equally successful; some were not. One M&G that I tried to organize, on the appointed hour/day of the meeting: I attended, I waited 30 minutes and no one else appeared. I left. The most disappointing ones that I have tried to attend (not organize) were sailaways at a bar that had too many people. Couldn't find any CC'ers. I'd ask "are you a CC roll call member?" The response would be "what's a CC roll call?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a mixer isn't it -- for socializing with fellow CCer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
