iandjm Posted April 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi, I received an email today, responding to my mail to cruisecritic asking about adding dedicated rollcall forums for us on here, one for each of the ships, so we can chat with fellow cruisers before getting onboard. Hopefully the new rollcalls will be added by the end of this week. We now have to tell all the cruise connections crowd eh Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gratefulguy Posted April 6, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hope there will be room for some of us Anglophile Yanks! We want to learn about travel to the many interesting places where the "sun never sets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaseyoz Posted April 7, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2006 does this mean we will be inundated with pommie cruisers now:) :) does this mean they will do the australian ships as well, eg, pacific sky/sun, or only the english ones. we had a thread on here not so long ago and many of the aussie posters were of english descent(myself included, Nottingham)Must have been that travelling over water to get here makes you want to get back on it. Please pop in and chat on our threads too if you have anything to say, we are a friendly bunch :D Unless the chat gets to cricket:p cheers karon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jig Posted April 7, 2006 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2006 There is no folder for the artemis. I will be on two cruises later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser_58 Posted April 7, 2006 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi All On registering the forum rules state not to use your real name as your user name - why is this? As already noted Artemis is missing from the Roll Calls (hoping to be booked on her for 2007 tomorrow) do you think there is any significance in the fact that she is also missing from PandO OBF also? Also hope that Roll Calls are utilised more than OBF appears to be on CC. Regards Noreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie lynagh Posted April 7, 2006 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Peter, nice to see you in here, it's been ages since I looked in here. Now that we have a P and O section i will be in more often to look and learn and perhaps will get the chance to offer some information to newer cruisers.

seattlelover Posted April 7, 2006 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi, Thought I'd pop in and say hello. Peter - I didn't use my real name as when I first came on this site and entered the RCI threads, it didn't seem the done thing. ON P&O CC it is. As you may recall way back on CC I made a comment about people using aliases on that site. Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone visits the site, sees your name and can see your location from the post, they could get more detailed information and decide to make a home visit when you are off on your cruise :eek: . That's what I understood anyway. Regards, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esprit2011 Posted April 10, 2006 #16 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I can understand the security point to a degree but it's the yanks way of covering their backside on this message board just like cigarette packets say "smoking kills". It just smacks of insincerity to me when someone hides behind a false name and then starts posting stupid comments. Sad people. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gratefulguy Posted April 12, 2006 #17 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Mr. Ruffoni, Please remember this site was established by Yanks, so it is not surprising the guidelines were designed to cope with conditions here. The threat of burglary is very real in an age when most of your "identity" is available in ways too numerous to control. I think you will find that even "sincere" people sometimes post stupid comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie lynagh Posted April 13, 2006 #19 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Peter, I have never been afraid to use the name that I was born with and like yourself " it is a bit unusual" and during my working life I felt it was an advantage because everyone remembered it because of its spelling. Lots of folk had a little difficulty in pronouncing it, so I told them to forget the gh at the end. Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
