A ROLL CALL forum and thread is made to help fellow cruisers check-in and make friends before they sail.
Cruising is a very social way to travel and with the internet and communities like this one, it allows Viking Cruisers to meet and talk well before they ever get onboard to sail.
Steps to creating a listing for your sailing (Check first to make sure another one doesn't exist).
1. Visit your ship's specific forum under the proper category of cruise type (Ocean, River, Expeditions).
2. After making sure a current listing doesn't exist click on 'Start new topic'
3. Use the START NEW TOPIC button to add your listing.
4. Please format your thread title to include the sailing date in this fashion January XX, 20XX so that it is can be easily searched later.
5. A good format might be "Rhine Getaway - Amsterdam to Basel - January XX, 20XX".
6. Press the "Start new topic" button to post your message.
Next, wait for replies and your fellow cruisers to join in and say hello. You can suggest other Viking cruisers use this forum and roll call feature to help grow this resource.
2. Participation is key, so please make that first post and introduce yourself, and this will encourage others to also participate.
3. Your specific ROLL CALL thread is a great way to share news and information about your specific sailing.
This is a basic overview to help answer some questions about ROLL CALL forums and why they are helpful to cruisers.
Please share any of your tips and insights.
