mind the gap

Post: # 2434Post drib »

On Roll Call, you can now see gaps in a ship's schedule notated by a ^ in the trip selector.

This is very handy in looking for when a ship might be in drydock or on a charter.

Of course, this is only for trips that are available (left trip selector) as of August 3.

In searching for the gaps, I found a trip that was missing from Roll Call and Fare Compare - or it could be that it used to be a gap, but somewhere along the line turned in to a trip. For the record, here is that new trip:

rollcall/rollcall.php?trip=7427

So what does the asterisk mean next to a listing?

PS - I like the "mind the gap" function

Dec 2022 - RSSC Explorer - Singapore to Sydney
Feb 2023 - Silver Muse - Cairns to Singapore
September 2023 - RSSC Explorer - Vancouver to Tokyo
December 2023 - RSSC Explorer - Sydney to Auckland
Dec 2023 - Crystal Symphony - Auckland to Melbourne - 16 days - nope Crystal went belly up

The asterisk means that I added a comment to that trip. It's usually something like a cancelled cruise or a changed port. But it can also be something very uncommon, like the trip that sailed in part on Serenity and in-part on Symphony.

The comment is always in the middle of the page, and will fade away after 5 seconds or so. Or, you can click on it, and it will close immediately.

Most of the comments are temporary - I leave them there only for one month or two - because otherwise, there would be too many, and they would become unimportant. This one, though, is forever:

rollcall/rollcall.php?trip=4287

The comments also show on Fare Compare, just below the start and end ports, and in a smaller font.
