We have to promote this board!

[prince]

My job as Host is to constantly be ahead of other boards with any breaking Princess cruise news.  This board is fully up to that challenge.  This was the first board to published the move up of the Ruby Princess Inaugural schedule and how automatic Ruby bookings were being made, the first board to publish that the Federal government is ready to drop the hammer on Princess Hawaii schedules and the first board to give you the actual names and photos of the two that went over the side on the Grand Princess on Spring Break and the complete story line.

What's really good about this independent Princess board, unlike other cruise boards, is that it's fast. This board has more posting features than other cruise boards with more to come and best of all it's strictly for you, the Princess cruiser.  A friendly place where you can freely speak your mind about Princess cruising without censorship and have fun.  Your role as a charter member is to help spread the word however you can if you like what you see. 

Message for Host Mike:

This is a great board! It is very clean and easy to navigate. Who is your hosting service?  Do they provide good service?  Do they provide links to the board? Or are you hosting on your own server?

[Host Mike]

This board server is located at https://serversandhosting.com/ in Dallas, TX.  They provide great service via email but not via phone.  They do not provide links to this board.  Princessonly.com and this board and photo gallery are on one of their shared hosting servers.   They really helped me move Princess Shutter over from Godaddy.  That move was a nightmare.  This hosting company has very tight security so some shared hosting options are not available.  They provide cpanel as part of their shared hosting package which is great.  What I like best about this hosting company is their shared hosting speed, so far.  Right now it's almost like being on a dedicated server.  As the load builds on this board we'll see how their shared hosting server handles it.  I've turned on features like spell check and email because the server can easily handle it.  Cruise Critic has serious server problems among other problems.  I learned the hard way to never put a bandwidth hog like Princess Shutter on a cheap shared hosting account on Godaddy.  On this server Princess Shutter and Princess Chatter have never hit a MySQL connection limit which happened regularly on Godaddy.

To Host Mike;  I have to agree with prince:  as a new member I am very impressed with this site;  clean, easy to navigate, very nice people.  I look forward to learning a lot and hopefully being able to contribute also.

I added a link to this site on Cruise Mates and on Frommers.  I don't think they have the same restrictive policies as CruiseCritic.

Learned about this site on Cruise Critic.  Oops should I have said that?!

Hi--I just found this board on Frommers. It's now on my Favorites list, and you can bet that I'll tell my friends about it. Thanks

I thought I had replied to this thread 

I had mentioned this forum over on another forum, not CC, and my posting was 'graciously deleted' by the moderator.

I belong to a Prius owner's forum, and there, all kinds of other forums are promoted, as well! It kinda blew me away that the cruising forums would be so paranoid!

Thanks, Mike, for being progressive!

Hello, i found this board via a post on CC.....glad i did.

[Suzy Cruisy]

I will promote this board in a future Suzy Cruisy Newsletter, and I think add it to my signature for my emails.  That should get some attention.

And I found this site after TWO of the people on my newsletter list told me about it when I mentioned I'd been banned from CC.

Amazing I met Mike in person a week or so ago on the Diamond and he never mentioned it but wanted me to give him news the instant it hit.  LOL!  We were too busy chatting I guess.

Happy to be here!

Cheers!

Just sent out to a bunch of my Princess cruising buddies - and included a warning about Cruise Critic postings.  Hope to see some new folks soon!
