cruisinsuzan Posted January 3, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have learned you have to take good and bad comments with a grain of salt. Often the negatives I have read are really picky stuff that wouldn't spoil a weeks cruise for the normal traveler. Hey, I could be home cooking and cleaning! Any cruise beats that!

cancruiseforever Posted January 3, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2007 We cruised on The Sapphire last January (sister to The Diamond), had one of our most enjoyable cruises to date. In fact we will be on The Diamond Saturday, I'm sure our expectations will be met. P.S. I see your a New Yorker, the Pizza is great! Being from Brooklyn previously, can't find any in California.

CrusinAgain Posted January 3, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The reviews I have read have been quite good with a very good Captain so we are really looking forward to this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editor Posted January 3, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I always read negative reviews with a bit of skepticism, but the most recent is very detailed. Makes me wonder . . . Yes, I'm from New York!! We live about an hour north of the city. Can't beat the pizza!!! Mmmmmmmmmm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongerob Posted January 3, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2007 All reviews are just one person's opinion. Often you'll find two people on the same ship at the same time have completely opposite impressions. Like someone else said in another thread, you don't know the person on the other end of the keyboard and you certainly can't give them feedback or ask for clarification very easily.

I make a point to put the date in my review just for this reason. Sometimes the ratings don't fit what is actully said in the review. A few minor things end up a "never sail them again". I hope they are more forgiving with their families on "opps". LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editor Posted January 3, 2007 Author #9 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The most recent bad review was posted this month. I believe they sailed in December. Check out Diamond's member reviews at this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quincytoo Posted January 3, 2007 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2007 We were on the Diamond this past Nov and the only thing that I hated about the cruise was having to get off the boat!!! We travel alot and this ranked as one of our best holidays :) Just read the last review posted and wow....ummmm...what do I say....??? Mother always told me if I can't say something nice then don't say anything at all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrav Posted January 3, 2007 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2007 we got off the diamond on 12/16 and it was amazing. best trip of my life. IMO negative reviews are just way to picky or are from people not allowing themselves to have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsb Posted January 4, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 4, 2007 the guy is obviously a whinning complainer-- most of his comments were ridiculous. You will have a great time as will we.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebug33 Posted January 4, 2007 #13 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Check out my review from my 12/16/06 sailing. I had a great time and couldn't have asked for anything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel 4 Ever Posted January 4, 2007 #14 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The Diamond is a lovely ship. I often read reviews and wonder how people get upset by the smallest things. Don't worry and enjoy yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia’s Journey’s Posted January 4, 2007 #15 Share Posted January 4, 2007 We have spent 3 cruises on the Diamond the most recent a B2B in September, we had a wonderful cruise - sure there were some small bumps in the road but nothing that we are going to allow to ruin our cruise. I would go on the Diamond again if I had more vacation time to use:D :D Go with the flow, don't sweat the small stuff and most important - have fun!!!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
