I appreciate the warm welcome Jan115.  I am new to cruising but have one scheduled for May 2022. Things are slow in the US in regards to the ports being shut down . But I have nothing but optimism that things will change soon 🙂

I love your optimism! My husband and I and two of our CruiseCrazies friends took advantage of one of Royal Caribbean's sailing this summer that were moved to a non-US port; in our case, the Vision of the Seas from Bermuda to Perfect Day CocoCay. The U.S. ports can't survive for long without ships, and I am confident that in 2022, cruises will be leaving our ports again.

What ship will you be on and where are you going?

If you have any questions about your first cruise or need any words of wisdom from our community of avid cruisers, feel free to ask.

Sounds really nice!  I will be cruising on the Carnival Conquest to Half Moon Cay and then  to the Bahamas .I am really excited!

It seems like everyday I wake up looking for new cruise material and I'm glad I found this site! Plus, ever since I booked the cruise, my days have felt better( having a new adventure to look forward to.)

 I do have one question?: Am I able to change my thumbnail? I was able to change my profile background but was racking my brain trying to figure out the upload a picture option.

You will LOVE cruising. Be sure to check out my first time cruiser tips in the blog section.

Great question about the profile photo and I can’t figure where to change it either. @Jason can you help with this?

Hey @Newbiecruiser!  To change your profile photo:

1. In the upper right corner of the screen, click the down arrow next to your name
2. Select PROFILE
3. On the left side of the screen next to the circular profile photo, click the IMAGE icon
4. This will allow you to update your profile 

I hope this helps!  Let me know if any other questions!

@Jason That feature seems to be missing from my profile page; I just sent you a DM. 

[Newbiecruiser]

Ok

@Newbiecruiser I tried to change my profile pic as well, but was unable to. I’ve requested tech support and hopefully help is on the way.@
