Are there any cruise blogs that are more active than Cruisecritic? There seem to be almost no posters there and an active thread would be one that gets a posting every week or two.

They seem to have no way to send PMs, so trying to meet up with another poster on a roll call thread means posting an email link in public, which I will not do, making trying to actually make a friend very difficult. And now, their "remember me" has been broken for weeks.

Any alternatives out there?
