Irrelevant 🤔 It is fairly accurate. We are a 'rare' breed😁 And FWIW, Live reviews are a cheap way to generate content and drive repeat visits to the site. Makes sense that CC woukd encourage them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbunch those panties, John. I happen to think that "rare" is an odd choice, if they want to somehow highlight a poster who writes LIVE threads. The word "LIVE", comes to mind, for example. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh .. ok thanks ... and I agree with you -- very odd choice of word for it. "LIVE" would have been 100x better and more obvious about what it meant.

It's a manual process. I guess they're to busy cleaning up threads 🤷 Here's the last Live review listed in the Live Reviews summary sheet. Now keep in mind, a Live review is different than one done after the fact. Edited July 7, 2022 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the maiden voyage of the Wonder in March to E Caribbean. Then the NCL Encore in April to E Caribbean. We were on the Quantum May/June to Alaska (pre-fire and engine trouble) in a Sky Loft which was really nice for Alaska. Next cruise is on NCL in a 2BR Haven suite to W Caribbean. And a Bermuda cruise after that.... our last two Bermuda cruises ended up being New England cruises to avoid "tropical disturbances", so we're hoping to get there this time. Looking at another W Caribbean to round out the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
