George C Posted February 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I agree , but they don’t seem as popular as they did a few years ago , the two I am on I started and not man have joined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted February 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Longer, unique itineraries are usually started by someone, 1-2 years in advance. 7 day Caribbean cruises are usually pretty quiet. They only get started when somebody decides to make one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I think roll calls are more popular on other social media. 10 years ago cc was the end all be all, but its waned a bit. Also depends on cruise length. Less than 7 days often there is no roll call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBS1607 Posted February 14, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Thank you all. I’m hesitant to start one I’ve never had to before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcherv Posted February 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I'm cruising in July 2024; I started the roll call here and joined one on Facebook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like other media sites where you would have to approve others joining. You can start it and never come back if you so desire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a B2B on Oasis for Thanksgiving, and neither of them has a roll call. I've quit creating them too. Very low participation typically. You can try other social media sites. They may have one, I mine are on the other site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2chiefs Posted February 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Do you think low participation is more due to the Meet & Mingles being suspended or because other social media is more active? We are currently booked for two cruises. Both have roll calls on CC that are not used much but both cruises have groups on the other social media (the one with faces). I personally don't like reading the social media site. Conversations are hard to follow (in my opinion) and there is no ship sponsored Meet & Mingle.

smokeybandit Posted February 14, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2023 If you felt OK starting this post then you should feel OK starting a roll call since that too is just a message board post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's the latter. I don't see huge participation on either, but what I see is large numbers on the other site and that means more participation. I also think that CC is partially to blame, in the sense that participation is down everywhere and CC really hasn't done much to attract new users. I don't have any great ideas myself on how to address the issue. It may just be that peoples interests have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting a roll call, and not having any participation in it, is not ideal. Some of mine have had less than 10 posts. That's pretty weak sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you start it yet? It has been 3 hours since you asked, and several people recommended that you start one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
