Rare whitshel Posted December 8, 2013 #126 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Correct about carnival CORP but the jeerleaders seem to focus only on Carnival, the cruise line. Ummmm, I get your point but I think most of the negativity about the cruise line is from folks who have sailed carnival and have sailed it numerous times so I don't think it's just "bash on carnival day" unfortunately it sounds like they have earned it. Believe me you see a lot of bashing on all the lines forums but carnival does seem to get the lions share. :rolleyes: Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzfitter Posted December 8, 2013 #127 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Perhaps they should change the name of this board to "Carnival Cheerleaders". In that way you will only read things that agree with your very narrow perspective. Think how good that will feel. The rest of us will post our comments on the Carnival Board and thus be able to offer "opinions" based on our experiences without being called names such as snobs, complainers or trashers. I for one think after 26 Carnival cruises that Carnival does somethings well but also after 8 or 9 years I see the "value quotient" diminishing. Like others I should be able to post my opinions (both good and critical) about Carnival without ridicule and name calling. This is what public discourse is all about. Perhaps they should change the name to Cruiser Critic. Then your insults might be more appropriate. I must have missed something. Maybe you could point out insult in the post that you quoted.

Rare Tapi Posted December 8, 2013 #128 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) That's your opinion. Been there, done that... I always come back to my family, Carnival. Good for you. But Carnival isn't my family. They are a business that takes my money and delivers a "feel good" product. I can see how some customers or employees may develop some affection for this company, but personally, I don't have any blind loyalty towards them.

richard1s Posted December 8, 2013 #129 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It's good to know there is a cruise line where people don't feel the need to be so judgmental. LOL, that is too funny; someone who says that "snobs" stay at a high end hotel concerned about others being judgemental. Bizzare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are cruising on the oasis in March so I have been following the boards. Not even the same neighborhood of bashing there. When you consider that Cruisecritic is by far larger on the Carnival threads, it makes one pause to wonder. While Carnival has had a rough year by most measures, the non sailers were here before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.Oceanlover Posted December 8, 2013 #141 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Remind me, was it the pot or the kettle over on the RCI board, full of gleeful gloating over the Grandeur fire? Stones and glass houses and all that. :p ;) :D Yes it was glee. Something to the affect of, "What was that loud noise? That's going to take awhile to clean up." And again in November when he frequented the RCI board and started about the azipod problems. On both instances his post were deleted. Sarge doesn't believe in the mentality of posters from other boards coming here to post negative things about CCL. It seems quite OK for him to go to the RCI board and do it though. Sounds quite hypocritical but that's just me. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, I asked a simple question about jeans on the Royal board and was met with the rude replies of the usual suspects. The first thread got pulled before I got to see a civil answer and the second one barely lasted long enough for me to see a civil answer. Me cruise on Royal again? I'm thinking not. Too much ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
