Hi Adrienne--sorry to be so jargon oriented. The cc stands for another message board about cruising called cruise critic--if you go to that website there is a roll call--meaning those on a particular sailing join the same thread of the board & communicate.(they also have roll calls on this site but no one has signed up for the roll call for QM 2 that I have found yet) For the labor Day trip there are two informal get togethers planned which will involve cocktails, name tags & meeting those you "talked to" on the board in person... if you or your friends are interested go to that board in the roll call section. Maria is the lady organizing us--she is an experienced Cunard cruiser--we are on that line for the first time. If not we'll look for you dancing at the two balls!
