Rare albingirl Posted May 3 #51 Share Posted May 3 I'm getting them but, frankly, I'm thrilled with the attention. Lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted May 3 #52 Share Posted May 3 I've been getting them for the past few weeks. Running Chrome on Android phone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 3 #53 Share Posted May 3 They would be even worse on the ships if you were in the theatre to watch a show or movie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted May 3 #54 Share Posted May 3 Been having ads in every thread on Cruise Critic for many months (android Samsung S22). Would love to get rid of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted May 3 #55 Share Posted May 3 (edited) I tried to click the "Learn More" bit to see if the ad would disappear like when you are watching muster videos on ships but this came up. So back to square 1. I will just have to give up on cc if it does not go away it's driving me crazy. Edited May 3 by Ondine change words 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted May 3 #57 Share Posted May 3 I've found that hitting the escape button it disappears straight away but I have to do it for every screen change. Not happy Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushka Posted May 3 #60 Share Posted May 3 For those on the iPad, download and use Chrome. It blocks the pop ups without the need for a VPN. I'm just disgusted it's only targeting Australian users. The admins must have known about this to enable it to be targeted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I use a VPN and my IP address is based in the US, the pop up disappears. When I turn off the VPN and my IP address is Australia, it's back. I'll try flicking to UK and see what happens. But using Chrome it's ok as I've got additional spam protection on it. OK. UK is getting this pop up too. The green dot is where my IP is thrown to. And I just flicked the VPN to USA. Pop up no longer occurs. Edited May 3 by Pushka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what point you are actually trying to make. 🤷♀️ My point now being it's a selective targeted audience and the US market, Europe and Canada isn't impacted. And that's concerning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Europe, why would they get targetted with English ads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabacruisers Posted May 3 Author #71 Share Posted May 3 I am using Edge on home computer, where I started getting the irritating NCL pop up on every page this morning. I am now on my phone, logged in, and not getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them when I switch to Canada or Europe. Thats the whole point of my posts earlier showing my IP location in different countries. Additionally there are posts from US people even though you think they are asleep and there is no mention of them having this issue. And they have not joined this thread either. 🤷♀️ Edited May 3 by Pushka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatharbour Posted May 3 #74 Share Posted May 3 Hoping this will issue will be resolved overnight. It was driving me nuts until I switched to Chrome on my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
