Lots of 'just boarded' CruiseTalkers ask for information on ships and cruise lines, which we are only too happy to provide. Sometimes they even tell us that then have already booked a cruise and 'can't wait. But then they disappear forever!

If you take a cruise, please, please share the experience with us, on your return. Was it good? Was it bad? A few lines would be great or you can even submit a full review, for the review section.

Everyones opinion counts at CruiseTalk!

(Even if it is wrong )

I didn't post about a cruise,but I'm happy to say our cruise on the Imagination was great. We went with other family members in a group. JUst ask I'll be glad to post about my cruise next year. It was my sixth cruise. I hope we go on a cruise next year. Any inexpensive cruise lines leaving from the east coast of the USA?

Thanks Commodore, glad you enjoyed the experience

I find writting a review and publishing it on TravelPage to be great fun. The entire world becomes your audience! (Well, those with a PC and ISP who have discovered the joys of TravelPage!)

Don't know of any, but why don't you post under "Shipmates" on this forum is you are looking for an ex cruise staff person. Someone may know him/her or where they are.

Well, I know I am a "just boarded". And this is my second post. My first is asking questions about the experience of taking a cruise on the British ships to the Greek Isles.

Just to thank you all in advance for any help in that area, I wrote a review of my recent crossing on MAASDAM, and just posted it to the review pages here in travelpage.

Mine is there. See, I promised I would write one. Although I don't know how I got a last initial of A. --- I thought I only signed it with my nickname. And my last name doesn't begin with an "A" --

Mine is of ms MAASDAM, and my crossing -- with Vulcania, amongst others.

Hi bugsykitty....

Just read your review of the MAASDAM. Great stuff! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your cruise....you really made it come alive with your descriptions. Having left the ROTTERDAM in Copenhagen on August 22nd,I felt like I was transported from one ship to another,reading your review.

I am going to print it out and take it with me at Christmas when I go on the MAASDAM.The staff will be tickled to bits to read it!!!

How many posts does it take to become a cruise director?

I would love to be one! I would erase foul mouthed language...
Put titles on ships (I. E. Titanic becomes R. M. S. Titanic.)

Input my opinions..
Excetra.

Anyway, how many posts do I need to put up to become a cruise director?

There's no foul language on this forum Jesse
You need lots and lots of posts to become a Cruise Director - Malcolm has over 1800 now and I can't remember the number he reached when Joe made him a CD. I have over 1000 and I am just a lonely old First Class Passenger
