Reminder: It is a violation of Cruise Critic Community Guidelines to ask about information related to a particular travel agent (TA) or TA web site, give info about a TA or site, or suggest that you will send info via email. All such posts or threads will be removed.

 

Please review the guidelines if you are unclear about them or haven't yet read them and direct all communications about the guidelines to Community@cruisecritic.com. Thank you for your cooperation.

I dont understand why its against the rules to even say general things like "I love my TA" or "My PVP is great", when no one could know who you are referring to.

 

Can we discuss this rule since you brought up the subject?? So people understand it more clearly?

Excerpt from Guidelines:

 

"There shall be no third-party recommendation of travel agencies on any forums within Cruise Critic. General discussions regarding the TYPE of AGENCY to be used to purchase a cruise will be allowed, as long as no recommendations for any source of purchase are posted.

 

 

 

Touting of your personal cruise agent or cruise line "personal cruise consultant" (or any other venue by which you purchase a cruise) is not allowed on our message boards. Postings that contain "tell them John sent you" will be removed without notice.

 

This means you should not ask about someone's travel agent, nor should you respond in kind. Offering to email someone your travel agent's name or info is also not allowed, nor is asking members to email you for the information.

 

Cruise Critic will remove violations of the "third-party recommendation" guideline without warning. Additional posts will result in permanent suspension of your posting privileges."

 

This thread is NOT for discussion of the guidelines, but, rather, to remind members of the guidelines. We have all agreed to abide by the guidelines when we signed up for our free membership. Discussions of the merits of the guidelines are not allowed on the boards. You may, of course, send a message at any time to the community manager asking your question or indicating your concerns.

 

Our hope is that you enjoy posting, receiving information and ideas from other members, and the news and information that are part of our Web site.
