I been on 2 Crowns and 1 Grand and One pacific Princess

and the Crown on the 2nd one was by far a dissappointment. Some of
the Crabbiest onboard help and food was not good. Grand Had snobby
Crew.... BUT I try and make the best of whatever!

Cruisemates cannot be taken seriously. Their previously discussed financial
association (advertising/free cruises/comps, etc.) with cruise lines
eliminates potential objectivity. If they write something bad, they might
not get a future comp.... so why risk writing anything other than "glowing
remarks"...

Does the same apply to cruisecritic, from which the first paragraph was
taken? The correct link is:

http://www.cruisecritic.com/reviews/review_page2.cfm?ShipID=347

"Service was excellent in both dining rooms. Food, too, was generally
very good, and mostly focused on predictable basics (short ribs for
lunch, roasted tom turkey for dinner), but there were occasional and
always pleasant surprises (the rabbit ragout and frogs legs were
excellent!)."



Note that Consumer Reports, which definitely does not accept
advertising, and thus would appear to really be independent doesn't meet
Charles' high standards either, based on his Nov. 2 post. Could it be
that he's just a frustrated professional complainer?

Could it be that you are just an "usenet idiot" ? I will go with
that....
