DJ56 Posted June 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2012 :) I just want to THANK EVERYONE who has taken the time to write a review and attach photos. I just wrote my first review and posted photos from my May 27-June 3rd, 2012 cruise on the Carnival Victory. I truly had no idea how many hours one puts into writing a detailed review with photos. Since I thoroughly enjoy reading the reviews here on Cruise Critic I thought I needed to write one myself. WOW!! The hours and evenings it took to do this.... however, I too got some positive feedback which made it all worth while. SO A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO TAKE THE TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULES TO WRITE YOUR REVIEWS AND POST PHOTOS!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauraezzell Posted June 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I agree. A picture is worth a thousand words. I know that I may not be able to sail on most of Carnival's ships so I enjoy looking at the pictures and reading the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trizzou Posted June 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I second that! I third it! Is it possible to third something? I spend countless hours at home and at work (horrible employee!) reading the reviews with pics and really appreciate all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingbajan Posted June 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Add me to that list of appreciative readers as well:). So much so that i no longer read/enjoy reviews without pictures.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpcaruth Posted June 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Absolutely...picture reviews are the best. I have written two picture reviews and though they take up a significant amount of time, I enjoy doing it. It's like I am obsessed with cruising. I really enjoy reading other's reviews too.

chill6x6 Posted June 29, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Good post and I agree! It really is time consuming... Some of the folks out there can REALLY write great reviews! I've kind of made a pack with myself that I'm going to do one of my next cruise no matter how poorly of a job I do! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading countless reviews, I did my first review last month for my cruise on the Liberty and even though time consuming, it was definitely rewarding and I got to relive my cruise all over again through my pictures.

stepha06 Posted June 29, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I added a link to my pictures :( my iPad doesn't play well with cc.... And do you know how much work it is to take a laptop away from an 11 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTAM Posted June 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I love them too. Have thought about doing them over our up comming cruises but can't figure out how to post the big pics that come across on CC. When I load pics they are really small. Thanks to all that do.

I just looked at your review today! My next cruise will be on the Liberty 2013. I sailed on the Liberty last year too! My daughter and I stayed at the Intercontinental in Miami, however, our room did not look like yours at all. Have they recently remodeled??? Well I sure did enjoy your review. Thanks for posting it!!

Momma1980 Posted June 29, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I am always checking the boards for new cruise reviews 'with lots of pics'. It doesn't even matter if I have been on that ship/itinerary or am planning to be there. Just love re-living someone else's cruise until I can experience my own. Plus, I always seem to pick up a useful bit of advice or information from each review. Keep them coming... Please and thank you! I have a cruise with family coming up VERY soon and I am hoping that my Amazing Big Sis will create/post one of these entertaining, picture-heavy reviews of our cruise. She is just the type that would do it! (computer savvy and people-friendly with a NICE camera) I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I just know her review would be amazing!

I use Picassa Web Albums (google). You can upload all your pictures, then copy and paste the links into the editor here to post. I wrote a post showing you how here.

RuthlessBoss Posted June 29, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I can just imagine how long it takes to just do the writing part, let alone attach pictures. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cojuqui Posted June 29, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 29, 2012 We just got back off the Victory and had been planning the trip since November of last year. I loved reading all the reviews and seeing pictures. I'll be honest, it didnt even have to be a review of where I was going, I just love reading what people do in different places and check out their pics. I am still in the middle of my review and am really enjoying reliving everything as I type. I agree, it is time consuming but hopefully one person will get one idea of something different and it will be worth it.

debster11 Posted June 29, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I also agree! I love love love reading reviews with pics! I find myself not reading the ones that just tell about their trip. The picture reviews make it almost seem like I am right there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cojuqui Posted June 29, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Now it's time to keep reading and hopefully plan our next cruise. Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
