You may have noticed a link under By the Labels (bottom of the link list to the left of this page) to Cruise Critic. CC is a forum, discussion board, and resource center for new and old cruisers alike.
From CC's main page you can read about cruise styles, destinations, ports, and reviews, or you can go to the "Boards" to post questions, or browse through various categories such as "Holland America", "Ports of Call", "Cruise Fashion", or any other topic you might find of interest.
An important part of the Cruise Critic Board is the Roll Call section. This is where fellow cruisers on a particular sailing can meet, arrange port tours together, exchange ideas about hotels, and generally get to know one another before boarding the ship. It is very early to start a Roll Call for our cruise, but I have. Okay, call me compulsive. Entrance to the Roll Call section of the forum is restricted to registered users only to protect privacy. I have set up a generic account just for us so if you are interested you can take a look before deciding to join. Membership is free, I get no spam from them (aside from an e-card on my birthday), and all they want is your birthdate, a user name, and a password. No real names are used in either the sign-up or on the boards.
