CruiseMates is a commercial web site, which means we are supported by advertisers, so advertising is not allowed to promote group cruises, sell anything, or promote other commercial websites.
But if you're into talking cruises you are welcome, and you found the right spot for that.
is it still considered advertising though if we are just inviting people to join us?
Just curious. I am a cruise addict and I loove cruising. I will definatly be on here talking cruise talk. We were given a great opportunity and were just opening it up to anyone else to take advantage of. But I understand the rules! Thanks!
On Carnival "bar cards" are available only to groups. And everyone in the group has to purchase the card. Those not in the group are not eligable. Correct.
So... you're "inviting" people to join your group... which really translates to advertising a group cruise, so you can take advantage of the amenities a group qualifies for.
Though I wish you luck finding enough people to form a group, so you can buy the bar cards, soliciting them here isn't allowed. Sorry.
