Robjame Posted December 7, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Does the vertical handrail strategically located close to the foot rail plus the two toiletries racks under the shower change the opinion? Just asking…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking…… I'm as genetically distanced from this discussion as you are, but I think of it this way: if I wanted to cut my toenails in the shower, would a foot rail work?–no. Would a seat?–yes, it would give me a stable ledge for my foot and bring the 'work area' into good light. I think it would be the same for shaving legs. What good would a foot rail be in a shower? Only if the Butler brought me a cold one! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are quite open that they left CC and why. It is seen as quite a tough crowd. Without question people on these other forums are more accepting. ‘Others are active only on CC’s roll calls and there would be little use of posting pics there.

Though I don't do reddit my wife does and for "tough" they seem like a constant anarchic civil war. She loves to read me some of the more comical and incendiary posts. A reddit for anything and everything. I will say this for CC generally, if you want an answer to something, the level of knowledge here is quite impressive. But, yes, they don't suffer fools kindly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyskie Posted December 9, 2022 #19 Share Posted December 9, 2022 @Robjame I do believe those on CC are more tolerant and informative than the other venues. Oceania forums are ok but others, not so much! Not happy that since the pandemic the roll calls are not what they used to be. When we cruised the Mediterranean with Princess - very active roll call - lots of tour sharing - same with X that got canceled. We still vacation with 3 couples from the Med. 😉 This is our first time cruising Oceania (Riviera Sept 2023) - very slow roll call. Received very good information with how O Life works, ship and excursion/activities (from CC) and my TA (yes she included all the info I needed). I found the key is to read, read, read and to search - many do not. As I go along I take notes that I keep on an online trip planner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that there is no sense in posting pics on a roll call as everyone there is on the ship with you. Some people only post on roll calls and not the ship forums on CC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 9, 2022 #21 Share Posted December 9, 2022 You would think Oceania would have the pictures on their own blog or website but I guess I expect too much from their IT dept Not all of us are on other social media forums oh well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Canadian but would never go to the Canadian forum of CC. It appears to be run by 2 or 3 guys who decide the direction of any particular thread and insert their politics. Certainly hope that the roll call avoidance is a temporary thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 9, 2022 #23 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Here's my take on the roll call problem: after Covid when people came back to cruising they tended to have lots of OBC to use [Azamara was giving $1,000 OBC per cabin instead of discounts for months on end] plus many felt that ship tours were a safer bet given the possibility of cancelling the cruise or the itinerary changing at the last minute [that happened to us in January 2022 on Riviera]. If you plan to social distance onboard, you don't need to meet people on the roll call before the cruise; and if you plan to take ship excursions (or stay on the ship) you don't need to learn about sights and private tours. So there was just very little to talk about on a roll call. Now that all the FCCs have been used up and cruise lines are not so free with the OBC, and people have decided either to stop cruising or to stop worrying about Covid – my hope is that CC roll calls will go back to how they were. BTW, remember that you can use CC moderation to keep roll calls and other threads tolerant and informative: use the Report feature for any posts that disrupt the community. All hosts see all Reports, and while it may take time patterns of bad behavior do become obvious (and are dealt with). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjame Posted December 9, 2022 Author #24 Share Posted December 9, 2022 One of the things we forget after awhile is how ponderous it is to use selection features on CC. ‘Roll Call: - Find the roll call button - Choose the cruise line - Choose the ship - choose the month - go through the selections to find the roll call - navigate to the last post With that “social media never to be named” - choose the group - read most recent posts. I am sure sheer volume is a factor. As for CC moderation - it is not allowed to be discussed so we’ll pass on that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
