Hollers Posted August 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Could someone please explain how cruise reviews are ordered on Cruise Critic? I find the random order infuriating as what you read can easily be outdated and thus unhelpful. I recently returned from a brilliant Med cruise on board Britannia. However, on opening the Cruise Critic's reviews of Britannia, outdated comments from a year or more ago stare at you. So for example, COVID protocols and the use of the My Holiday app highlight issues which are not current and therefore are misleading. Why are reviews not sequenced in date order? This has to be the most helpful approach for readers. Can Cruise Critic amend this idiosyncracy? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted August 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Strange, just been to reviews for Brittania and they are in date order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollers Posted August 18, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Very strange. Just been in now and not in date order. I know some people review a while after they have cruised but there is no logic in the ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazrat Posted August 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2022 To be honest never looked at the reviews, I prefer to look on another site to get a more up to date reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even stranger, just hit reviews at top of this page literally a minute ago then tapped Brittania reviews and they are in date order. Are you on a phone, tablet or PC it can make a difference.

Hollers Posted August 18, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks Windsurfboy. I now think I can see the difference. If you view all P and O cruises through this message board, then they do appear to be in order. However if you use a search engine to search, for example, 'Britannia Cruise Critic reviews' (probably how most people read reviews), then the reviews appear in a random order. At the end of the day though, all reviews are very subjective, if interesting to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tring Posted August 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You can often change the way reviews/posts are ordered by clicking on a small tab to rhs at top of the listing of reviews/posts. I often use that system on trip advisor, so there may be an option here as well if you look for it. I use a desktop for that though, I find using a phone quite frustrating at times.
