OTownNick Posted December 3, 2014 #151 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Great review. There are things that bothered YOU that maybe wouldn't necessarily bother OTHERS. Everyone has their tolerances and level of patience and understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allie3490 Posted December 3, 2014 #152 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Hi Allie, under your public profile it states the following: "allie3490 has not made any friends yet"... I wonder why.:p I actually have plenty of great friends and family in my life. Not looking to make friends with anyone on a message board.

mpoole3 Posted December 4, 2014 Author #154 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Wow for such a young guy you sure do come off as spoiled and entitled. You had a bad day because you had to wait a whole hour to board and your luggage didn't get there soon enough for you?? Seriously, get a grip. Holy Moly! I work really hard on posting these reviews and I'm sorry, but this was MY review to post. Please don't post comments like this on other peoples reviews, because it makes us not want to take the time ever again. Kinda hurt my feelings, sure I'm in my 20's but I work hard and like to reward myself with cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpoole3 Posted December 4, 2014 Author #155 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Great review. There are things that bothered YOU that maybe wouldn't necessarily bother OTHERS. Everyone has their tolerances and level of patience and understanding. I completely agree, which is why you are researching a ship you need to read a lot of reviews. Everyones experience and expectations are different, so I hope my day 1 comments didn't upset you. They were simply my view of my vacation.

BonTexasNY Posted December 4, 2014 #157 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm so sorry this wonderful review soured at the end. I can't understand what the negative/snarky posters hoped to gain. It's one thing to debate an issue but another to be personally insulting. Having never met you, forgive the familiarity. This is Michael's review, his opinion, his personal experiences. I can't even imagine the hard work that goes into posting such a review with the most beautiful pictures. Michael, I, for one, think you're an exceptional young man (gee that makes me sound old lol) and you have every right to be proud of your accomplishments. Happy and smooth sails. Looking forward to your Enchantment review :) You and your girlfriend look fabulous together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauvichick Posted December 4, 2014 #161 Share Posted December 4, 2014 mpoole3: I enjoyed your review despite the negative comments others make. I am on the lookout for LOS reviews. Now that she's back in the U.S. I hope to read more about her. I look forward to Vintages and any wine pairing dinner. I hope they still Caymus Cab 2011. And if they don't I will be bringing my own bottle. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twilliams1618 Posted December 4, 2014 #162 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I enjoyed the review and it will help me out on my Liberty cruise next week. Great thing about reviews, they are not like tests....there is no wrong or right answers. Though some people like to make you think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthsun Posted December 4, 2014 #163 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the detailed review. I felt like I was almost there. We are boarding LOS on 12/11. Haven't been on Royal for a long time. I'll admit I was having some concerns, due to do much "negativity" on these threads. But your review brought me back to reality. Every cruise is a new adventure, and it is what you make it. The will always be "bumps", but how you deal with them will determine your satisfaction. I have yet to be disappointed in ANY cruise. I am looking forward to experiencing Liberty of the Seas. ....thanks in part to your review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone posted things that didn't go as planned, doesn't mean it ruined their vacation. It's an observation, that's it. I was on Liberty at Thanksgiving and our balcony cabin was across from a crew door that was constantly slamming and waking me up in the morning. Called guest services, they said they would look into it but never did. I posted this in my review but I didn't let it ruin my vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpostman Posted December 4, 2014 #169 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I know it was hard to resist, but that persons post was not even worth responding to. Almost all of us have really appreciated your thread. You are 100% right. You'd think I should know better by now. I'm a newbie on this particular forum but I've been on many other forums for many years and some even before the days of forums. Some of you may remember the days of BBS boards and IRC chat rooms in the early 90s. But I could not resist. I so much appreciated M. Poole's review that I could not let it go. But now I will: Let it goOOO, Let it GoOOOOO ;-) Once again, Thanks Mike. We are Going on LOS for Easter. My wife and I are enjoying all the info & pics. Learning from your suitcase incident, I will probably pack one evenings worth of smart casual attires in my wife's suitcase, and one of hers, in my suitcase. Then if one of our suitcases makes it too late, I won't be stuck. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted December 4, 2014 #170 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the review! We sail on Dec 11th and the H2O zone pic is going to make one 5 yr old very excited when he gets home from school. I totally get the late luggage frustration. After a certain point the "what if it NEVER shows up" thoughts start and it makes things a bit tense. Been there. Glad it arrived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted December 5, 2014 #171 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think everyone has had great cruises and some not so great. If they were that bad, we wouldn't keep cruising. We should be able to state our views and options without a backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserdudebobby8 Posted December 5, 2014 #174 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We took time to explore the ship, as Courtney was pretty excited to explore. I had to take her to the evening dance venue I'd been talking to highly about. I hope they don't remove these, like they did on the Navigator. Yes this is me practicing my dance moves for tonight! I really hope they keep these tooo Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
