• Go to home page, 'Find Your Cruise' section
• Enter as much search criteria as you remember. Typically, the month you cruised, the cruiseline and shipname should be sufficient. Click the yellow 'Search' button
• You will see a list of cruises in the search result. Find your cruise and click the 'Select' button. If you don't see your cruise, modify the search criteria on the left hand side of the page
• You will now see a list of MeetOnCruise cruisers that are on your cruise! Now you can browse profiles and message anyone. But you're not done yet! You need to add this cruise to your profile to be listed on this cruise. Click on "I'm on this cruise!" button.
• You will be asked to login if you are not logged in. If you are a new user, sign up (its easy)!
• Verify this is the right cruise. If so, click the "Save to my profile" button and you will be taken to your profile. You'll see a message saying "Details saved to your profile"

Thats it! Easy, huh? Enjoy the cruise.

Absolutely. Its essentially the same steps as above. Fill out the criteria on 'Find Your Cruise' from the home page. When you find your cruise on the search results page, click the "I've taken this cruise before" button. Enter the month and year you sailed and click the "Save to My Profile" button. You'll see a message saying "Details saved to your profile". You're done!
