Bingo. Jeff... I have "Ari" kill filed. Aside from being a troll,
reading comprehension isn't his/her strong suit.

Wise move, George...I did that with "Ari"quite awhile ago. I have been
tempted to do the same with Peter, but he at least has some interesting
input and sounds as if he has actually traveled/cruised in his posts.

To say nothing of flow. The "review" was very disjointed.

As I was reading it, I started thinking - "wow, Sisker was onboard
during a fire" then I noticed the similarities to the earlier fire and
I backtracked to note the year of the date mentioned. While noting the
fire is certainly fitting for a Star Princess review (especially to
compare with renovations or procedural changes resulting from it),
this clumsy "appropriation" is not.

....and no, your copying from Wikipedia isn't covered by the fair use
doctrine (It's about as much a case of "fair use" as when I copied
verbatim from the World Book encyclopedia for Junior High School
reports - AKA NOT)

Did Cruise Critic accept the review? I believe they have a policy
on ...let's call it borrowing.

In all fairness, it's not a matter of not knowing how to pack for more
than 7 days. I think it's an unwillingness to take more than you'll
ever need, plus having to pay extra for check-in luggage. I just
returned from a 7-day vacation, with everything comfortably packed in my
two allowable carry-ons. Call me cheap if you will. I call it frugal,
since it gives me a bit more to spend while on vacation.

The review was obviously about Princess Cruises and the Star Princess, so
just what part of that did you not understand? Likewise, if I want to
include some technical background information in with my evaluation and
experience while on this ship, just who in the hell are you to say
otherwise? And, this was just a personal evaluation anyway, not a novel, so
trying to follow your format, guidelines and just what should and should not
be included, is of no interest to me - and should not be to anyone else
either.

It was even pointed out that some simply meant this as constructive
criticism. If that were really true, there would be no issue. But we all
know that this is not the case at all; it is just another attempts at
one-upmanship. So, if anyone wants to actually talk about the Star Princess
itself, then fine. And no... I'm not about to reform anything in doing so,
so get over yourself. Yet, some simply have a issue with the technical
aspects of this ship, and just how, where, when and why this information
came about. So, let's once again take a look at this ship, but just through
our pictures once more.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, you be the judge this time. Let
them speak for themselves.
