There are some folks out there that either can not or will not "do" FB.

Perhaps you can quote the jist of the topic here.

Hmmmmmm....perhaps Paul should visit

Cruise Mates - Luv to Cruise?

48 members

We all know that cruise lines charge for the "cabin" whether there are one or two in it

This is a group to help people find a suitable cabin mate to share the cost!
Helps defray the solo supplement charge

Why? They have 48 members and we have thousands!

They are using your name, a registered website, and people may be confused that this may be a spin off of your website on FB. It's a simple process to get FB to make them change their name.

Well... it appears they are starting a group to help people find each other to take cruises together. Obviously, those people are called "cruise mates".

We are "CruiseMates" and while many people do use our site to find cruise mates that is not our primary purpose, and we don't make money from it or anything. We are really more concerned with providing good articles and forums.

So, I really don't mind a few people getting together to possibly share rooms on cruise ships and having them call themselves cruise mates. I don't consider it competition.
