As a newcomer to this board, thanks for the easy to follow directions!

Host Anne · #22 October 30th, 2009, 10:58 PM

Umbria ~ you are most welcome. Anytime you have a question, you can also drop me an email. Sometimes there is an overwhelming amount of info here for a newbie....actually, there's a lot of info here for those who have been around a long time, too!

ENJOY!

Ciao!

Hi Anne
I think I have hooked up with theConstellation sailing on Jan. 31, 2010 but am not sure
Also, I am looking for how to hook up with shore excursions folks may be organizing for this cruise.

Host Anne · #24 December 27th, 2009, 03:40 PM

Roman99 ~ you indeed did post correctly in the roll call for the Constellation sailing you are on. You will need to visit that thread frequently to chat with others on your sailing and to see if there are excursions planned that you can join.

To find your roll call quickly now that you've posted in it, click on the QUICK LINKS located in the pink bar at the top of this page (it's between the SEARCH and LOG OUT buttoms). Then scroll down and click on SUBSCRIBED THREADS. These are threads that you have posted to. Then click on your roll call thread and it will take you directly there. If you click the last page, you'll get to the most recent posts in the thread.

Let me know if you need additional assistance and have a great cruise!

Host Anne I am sailing on Celebrity Millenium Alaska Southbound from Seward on May 21, 2010, how can I find any other postings for this sailing? Mtzmema

Host Anne · #26 February 14th, 2010, 12:19 PM

mtzmema ~ Here's a link to your roll call: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1043679

It's three pages long.

Once you post on the roll call, it's easy to find it again when you come back to the message boards. Click on the QUICK LINKS in the light pink bar below the Cruise Critic header at the top of this page (it's over to the right side of the page).

Then click SUBSCRIBED THREADS under MISCELLANEOUS and it will give you a list of all the threads you have posted to. Just click on the thread title and it will take you to the thread.

Hopefully this is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.

WELCOME to Cruise Critic!

Greetings from Lafayette Hill, PA (a suburb of Phila.) My wife Citygirl hooked me up with cruise critic and here I am. We don't classify ourselves as "cruisers" because we usually do a one destination vacation. But during the 2 year-long planning of our big 27 yr anniversary/50th birthday vacation, I suggested giving a cruise one more try. We've done Carnival (cheesy) and Norwegian (Alaska; cold and wet) Looking forward to meeting some nice people and enjoying the Sun!

Host Anne · #28 February 19th, 2010, 10:50 PM

Melody ~ have you been able to find the roll call for your cruise? If not, post your ship and cruise date here and I'll locate it for you and post a link. Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising!

Yea don't know how it ended up here! Got it right now, thanks.

Can I see a roll call if we haven't booked yet? We're considering the Eclipse TA in Oct., and I'd like to see the roll call and see what kind of advice or info is already posted. It looks to me like I need a booking #.

Hi Fritz, good morning..I am not Host Anne but as long as you are logged
into Cruise Critic you can check on any of the roll calls. No need
to have a booking number in order to read a thread (even a roll call thread

)

Lois R · #32 March 13th, 2010, 09:20 AM

Fritz, also I should have said that you can also post on the roll call
without a booking number too

Many times people post even if they haven't "officially booked" if they
want information

Host Anne · #33 March 17th, 2010, 12:53 PM

Thanks for responding, Lois! You are so kind.

Fritz, one more comment. You will not need your booking number for anything here on Cruise Critic. You only need it when you are accessing something on the cruiseline's website. If you sign up for a Cruise Critic party, it asks for your booking ID but you are actually doing that right on the cruiseline website.

Happy researching. I love the Solstice-class ships and I'm sure that will include Eclipse!

sheroverfield · #34 August 5th, 2010, 01:23 AM

Wow. I just joined this forum and I spell my first name the same as yours. Exciting!!

Michidoeme · #35 September 5th, 2010, 03:14 PM

dear Anne,
when I want to register, I get message "Only purchased booking can register CruiseCritic Party".
Although the cruise was fully paid and on the Celebrity My Reservation it shows as "Status : confirmed".

Do you have any idea what this is about ?
Thanks,
Martine

Therefore, I thought I'd post a quick note to explain what ROLL CALLS are and how you can find one for your sailing.

WHAT ARE THEY?
Roll Calls were started for individual cruise lines so that our members could "meet up and chat with" others who they'lll be sailing with. This made it much easier to find others on your cruise instead of scrolling through all the threads here on the main Celebrity board.

HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR ROLL CALL?
There is a separate ROLL CALLS section on the main page of our BOARDS. Here is a link directly to the ROLL CALL area for Celebrity ships (called Celebrity Connections). http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=206 Click here and then locate your ship that you'll be cruising on. You'll then have to scroll and search for your particular cruise. Celebrity's roll calls are very popular and you can usually find a roll call for sailings within six months of your cruise.

WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND A ROLL CALL FOR MY SAILING?
You can start one! In the thread title, be sure to include the name of your ship, your sail date and year. Some roll calls get started very early, others start closer to sailing dates; some are very active; some tend to be a bit more quiet. Regardless of how active a roll call is, this is a great opportunity to meet some folks sailing with you.

IF MY ROLL CALL IS SLOW, CAN I POST IT ON THE MAIN BOARD?
No. Please don't post threads looking for others cruising with you on the main boards. Roll calls became so popular that there was a need to set up a separate area for them. We ask that you keep roll call discussions to your roll call in the ROLL CALL area and keep the main board open for general Celebrity cruise discussions.

If you need assistance with a roll call, please feel free to contac me or Host Walt and we'll be happy to help.

HAPPY SAILING!

Thanks for explanation. I've always wanted to ask this question: How come some of the threads are in bold? When I try to start a Roll Call I can't do it in bold.

Host Anne · #37 September 19th, 2010, 10:11 PM

Martine ~ when you got to sign up for the Cruise Critic party you need to enter your Celebrity booking ID in order to sign up. Are you entering your booking ID when you try to sign up?

Lovin ~ I've never tried to bold a thread title so I don't know. I've only ever tried to bold things within a post and youdo that with the tools that appear just above the text entry box. I'll see if I can figure it out.

Hi Anne, we are going on the Xpedition Feb 4, 2011. I've tried to sign up for Connections party but Xpedition isn't even listed on the Connections page. Am I looking in the wrong place? I posted a note saying we were going on that cruise but haven't had even one reply. Am I posting in the wrong place? I definitely need help but can't seem to find any.
