Rare mom says Posted November 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2022 As noted, there are exceptions. It pays to read the entire thing, and not just the title and first couple of sentences. Is this nit picking? Could be pretty important to novices who take what they read here at face value. The title and first post are inaccurate and misleading. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliaMS Posted November 5, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 5, 2022 On embarkation day for our transatlantic there were people insisting that Celebrity no longer required testing. They didn’t read the full info in the emails or in the web page that clearly listed TA testing requirements. They had to pay for expensive dock side testing. People come to CC looking for info and we should try and share the correct, full info and not headlines that may mislead people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnocket Posted November 5, 2022 #25 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Wow. Lighten up people. OP's post title is no more misleading than the title of the article she linked to. Shouldn't one read the entire post - including links - before condemning the OP for spreading misinformation? Could the post title have been more complete? Yes, but this outpouring of condemnation is a bit overdone wouldn't you say? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
