By popular demand, we now have a forum dedicated to Cruise Vacation Travel!

Hope everyone enjoys the new forum and it becomes a popular location to organize and share information on Cruises!

The "Tugboats" forum? (Probably confusing, but an appropriate play on words.)

I like the name you chose. It is descriptive and straightforward. Thank you for starting the sub forum. It will be nice to read everyone’s reviews here and get a different perspective than what is out there.

I think cruise thoughts from TUGgers will be more useful than ones from the general public. We already think about portability, minimizing packing, where to find things in unfamiliar places, etc. The Cruise Critic site is OK but huge, and the Roll Calls are mostly "hi, we're Marge and Joe from Potawatomie and we love to play MahJongg" ... and so on

Or something similar?

At first I thought, "Whoa! This forum got going fast."
Then I realized that I'd read almost all those before. :)

The tongue-in-cheek title is fine for persons familiar with the forums. If you find that it is confusing, a more descriptive title such as TUG on Cruising could be considered.

Yay for TUGboats winning the forum title name! :D

Also, I am kind of bummed that I literally missed the boat when groups of TUGgers would come together to plan a group cruise. I think we would have enjoyed something like that. *sigh* Maybe this will help facilitate that again in the future.

Great name! I like TUBboats and that you also kept the descriptor of Cruise Vacation Forum so new users understand what it means.
