If you want honest information, Cruise Critic should NOT be your go to source. I asked a simple question on their forum, and was told a bunch of lies, and then the topic was heavily moderated for no reason... and then the entire thread juts vanished once someone DID answer the question honestly.
The moderators are VERY BIASED, as someone else said. Try it yourself and you will see. There are much better places to go for cruise info where you can get honest answers.
Cruise Critic is apparently all about one thing... Making money for agents.
It's actually very discouraging to see how travel agents operate. I am sure there are honest ones out there, but places like Cruise Critic give the entire industry a bad name... Made me NOT want to get a travel agent at all, and just navigate by myself.
Cruise Critic is like a modern day snake oil salesman!
