I agree but it has come to that, at least for now. I just hope cruisers do the survey they get emailed to them at the end of the cruise. Celebrity does pay attention to them! It's the best way to show any issues with food, service, entertainment, etc.
2 couples who travel together....Our hubby's wanted to do it years ago. Us women weren't so keen on. We went and we all loved it. So no it's not just a guy thing.
Many years ago we were talking to a crew member who was pretty high up the chain of command. (I am not naming title or name) We asked if Royal paid any attention to Cruise Critic. The reply was ABSOLUTELY! This conversation took place at the Captain's dinner we had been invited to. We have enjoyed many cruises with Royal and Celebrity but over the past 30 years things have changed. Until we feel the cost of a cruise is definitely not worth the $ we will keep on sailing.
So true. When celebrity came out with IV balconies the reviews were Nasty as many didn't like them. We almost canceled our cruise because of it. However we took the cruise and loved it. So I have learned to take what others write with a grain of salt.
We agree the shows are nice, we have sailed all the O class. However it was the food, and how crowded the ship was that did us in. Luckily not many rug rats onboard.
Food is better, less kids, quiet areas to enjoy. We stopped sailing on RC a while ago. On a whim we did Wonder of the Seas last month and said, ok we are done with them. Food was the biggest issue, tasteless, cold, lack of choices on WOS.
We will stay with Celebrity.
