Of my 5 recent and upcoming CC roll calls, my success rate has been about 50/50 for Meet & Greets. I think time of year has a lot to do with it (if you're cruising during a holiday or peak season, turnout is likely to be higher).

For our Easter 2007 cruise on the Pride of Hawaii, we had a fantastic group of about 35. We met 3 times (twice in the Owners Suite for cocktail parties that that 1 of the members generously put on for the group), I believe all but 2 that signed up in our roll call showed up for at least one of the events, and for the most part we had nearly 30 at each event. The 2nd successful M&G was this past February on the NCL Spirit (President's Week). We had over 70 signed up, and about 40 showed for our M&G, several of who we enjoyed hanging out with throughout the week.

The duds were our August 2007 Alaska cruise on the Star and my upcoming cruise at the end of the month on the NCL Gem (neither have a lot of Roll Call activity, and I've chosen not to bother to arrange M&G's).

I can't speak of the success for out 1st NCL Roll Call, which was a Bahamas cruise in 2006 on the Spirit, because we were newbs at the time and one of the no-shows! :bag:

We're going Carnival Fantasy out of New Orleans December 8th. We chose that one for the close port... it's a 5 night, Progreso and Cozumel. It will be my first with Carnival.
