Welcome McKeever! No...although this site is sponsored by Ngaire, the owner of Brown and Keene and most of us probably do use Ngaire...it certainly is not a requirement. We appreciate sharing ideas about cruising (as well as lots of "off topics" too) and feel like we're all a big family! Many of us (about 50) just returned from a really fun cruise referred to as MINT (Mariner November Twelve). Some of us had met before but for many of us it was the first time we'd actually met in person.
The only requirment here is to keep postings "happy" and never insulting. You may want to take a few minutes to post in the "Introduction" thread if you haven't already. This way we all learn a bit about each other.
Welcome, McKeever! We're just a nice group of friendly traveller's! Some are quite experienced and some are novices. We do tend to be on the chummy side, but never exclusionary. Please feel free to post and interrupt but please participate. The only rule here is "Happy Posts" Nicely put, Marcie!
