And that's your opinion. I respect your opinion whether I agree or disagree with it. For those wanting others opinions, CC is a great place. Way too many positive and negatives about the same subject for me to even consider. For me I find CC a great place in reading what others are experiencing or any breaking cruise news (no matter what) but doesn't have any influence on how we book our cruises. If that's the help you need in making a decision, go for it. Power to ya. Just don't slam my honesty how I prefer to book. We were recently on the Enchanted. Spoke with a couple that went on a ship shore excursion that was highly recommended by a CC poster. Worse shore excursion they experienced and said they would tell anyone considering it not to book it. Who's opinion is right or wrong? I'll make my own decisions based on my own experiences. I've never said my way is the right way. Just the way I prefer to book. My honest answer to your genuine question.
