Is it possible to chat "live" with other subscribers? If so, how? What do the # of views mean next to the # of replies column? Just trying to figure out how to use this site. Thanks.

I was just thinking that myself...I don't think there is a way to chat live with anyone - although that would be nice. I think we just have to ask questions and then hope to get a response. Are you going on a cruise anytime soon? I love cruising!

Hi,

I don't think direct chats are possible, but I'm not sure. Tom Ogg should be able to answer this question.

# of views indicates how many people have read a particular thread.

Hey! Thanks for the info. My husband and I are planning to go on a cruise in early June. We haven't book anything yet. We'd really like some suggestions. We've been on 5 cruises but we're considering booking a cabin with a balcony this time. It is our 25th wedding anniversary celebration so we thought it would be special to do that. Any suggestions out there about the best ship with balconies?

I have checked a myriad of locations to find live info regarding veteran cruise takers and seek their opinions - live!!
Try this and you will really meet some very nice people - www.cruisemates.com
Look for the chat box and enter. It should be fine - Bill S.

YES IT CAN BE DONE JUST LIKE AIM INSTANT MESSAGING OR CHAT ROOMS LIKE AOL . YOU THINK SOMONE WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN

If you want to talk constantly and get responses QUICKLY try CruiseCritic.com under the Boards in teh Carnival section... Its tons of fun!

I signed onto cruisemates.com last night and was able to chat with several people about cruises. It was great! It was actually a chat room where people talked about the topic instead of rude, crude topics! Try it out!

The best is Radisson's Mariner.
