Roll Call

[phoenix_dream]

I wonder if the lowering of Roll Call participation has to do with the changing demographic on the cruises.  I think many of us "old timers" found it pleasant and useful to chat with our fellow travelers.  These days cruises are full of younger people, as well as many people new to Celebrity (also usually younger) who maybe don't even know about Cruise Critic let alone Roll Calls and/or couldn't care less.

clearly this is a much better comparison than your 4 to 163 comparison.

Also for many the Roll Call is a way to organise tours and I believe your 2023 cruise was much longer and included  far more and also much more interesting stops than the 3 you are doing in 2024.

our 2023 Reflection cruise got off to a slow start but picked up. 

 

 4 days longer , I didn’t think  they were  more interesting ports 😁

even if not more interesting (although I maintain they were as your current cruise has just 2 stops in the Canaries plus the never to be forgotten Kings Wharf  which generates little or no interest) just having more stops usually results in more tour groups which in turn generates more Roll Activity.

We started a roll call for the Ascent Jan/2025 and no responses yet. If roll calls are a thing of the past, so be it. I won't lose any sleep over it.

Message boards are dinosaurs. Our roll calls here are also extremely slow, but on social media roll calls are thriving.
