I would like to start a thread for the March 17th, 2024 - 5-Night Bahamian Cruise from Fort Lauderdale ~Double Dip~ (Nassau, Castaway Cay, Castaway Cay) Cruise and attach it to the date but don't know how. Could someone please help?
 
Are you talking about creating a cruise meets thread? If so, go to the Cruise Meets subforum (from the main DCL Forum Page, you'll see it at the top along with the Trip Reports subforum). Create a thread with your cruise details in the title (you can see how others have named theirs). Then, go to the thread "Find your 2024 Magic Cruise Meet Link HERE," post a link to the thread you just created and ask the mods to add it to the list. They'll then add it to the running list they have so others can easily find it.
 
My problem is that I don't understand how to "create" a thread. Is it the same as posting and how do you link it?
 
Right below the page counter on any forum you'll see a blank box; in that box it says "Thread Title." Start typing and it'll bring up a box to start a new thread. To link it, you just copy the url and paste it into a message. If you go into the cruise meets subforum you can see how others have done it for examples.
 

I think I got it but unsure I posted it in the correct spot. Does the moderator attach it to the dated cruise title?
 
Yep, I see it in the Cruise Meets subforum. One suggestion: I would add a date, or at least month, to the title. Right now there's no way to tie it to a specific cruise. If you look at the other threads you can see how others have done it.

Yes, the mods will attach it, but you have to ask them, they won't automatically do it. In the pinned posts up above, find the thread that 'matches' your cruise, both by date and ship (For example: Find Your 2024 Magic Cruise Meet LINK Here). I can't point you to the specific one because I don't know which ship, but it will be one of the 2024 ones. Again, you can look through the thread to see how others have done it, but essentially you'll just make a post in that thread asking the mods to link your newly-created thread to the master list. You'll need to provide the link, and also mention which cruise it is (by specific date, since that's how they are listed). The mods will reply to confirm once it's been linked, so then anyone can go into the master list to find your meetup thread.
 
I thought I had put the specifics written but apparently not. I think I did it and posted for March 17th 2024. Though when I post it looks like I just post under generic "Cruise Meets" and not my specific 2024 Dream cruise dates.

Looks like you're all set now! :-)
