SOS

Unread post by gfwgfw »

Hey Ho

It seems to me that our friendly ship is loosing valued posters to the comfort of life boats like the rate of drowning rats

Am I right or am I right

Lubooo all . . . who are still on board, :wave:

Could be a lot of people are on last minute cruises as there are some good bargains around or it could just be the nice weather means everyone is out enjoying the sunshine.

People come and people go, for various reasons. New members join, some drop away and some join up again later. All are welcome.

I agree, with all forums, cruise or otherwise people come and people go, this forum is no different, but the forums still survive.
With this forum there are many sub forums, so although some posters may not contribute much to the non cruise related threads, they may contribute elsewhere on the forum.
Surely everybody who contributes is a a valued poster, providing they conform to the T/C's.

Some also join for a spurious reason and then disappear but remain a member. These non posters need to be weeded out or we will be all at sea, just like seaweed flowing with the tide wherever they crop up. :moresarcasm:

Welcome back Wina good to see two more regulars back on board and nothing more sinister to explain your absence other than you were off on your 'jollies' which of course we knew :thumbup:

I agree the Adriatic is a superb itinerary, one of my favourites.

I'm here just. For the last few days the internet connection over here has been dreadful. I keep getting bumped off after a few minutes. I hardly have chance to read anything let alone reply. :(
The weather has been lovely too and I've been out enjoying the sunshine. :thumbup:

I've just looked in this morning - usually I would have be online much earlier but as someone said, it's a beautiful day, blue sky, warm sun so I assume lots of people, like me, have been doing other things. There's bound to be times when there's a dearth of posters - hot sunny days being one of them I should think. We are looking at doing a different type of cruise next year. We are off on a short two week trip to the Canaries in March - in lieu of our usual Caribbean jaunt - and intend doing something else maybe in September. I've been looking at the European Waterways who have barges cruising in the French Canals. It was one of those that Rick Stein used in his Cookery series about France. They are certainly not cheap but they do look wonderful - some lovely pictures and videos on their website.
