John, a criticism isn't the same thing as an attack.

Listen. Learn. Stop getting defensive and whiny.

Look at any number of well-organized cruise reviews here or on cruise
sites. Pay attention (I know it's hard) and see what "works."

There are many ways to organize a review. The most popular is a
journal. You can also divide it up into sections as a review of
components of the hardware and service, or you can focus on one aspect
of the cruise. They can be mixed, as long as the reader is cued into
what to expect (...and you're clear as to what observations were
yours, whether they're were from this cruise or others, and what parts
are from other sources, and how they relate) However, yours veered
from personal observations to cut-and-pasted statistics and then to a
narrative on the old fire. My previous comment regarding copying a
school report from an encyclopedia was quite apt. Your "review"
resembled nothing as much as a cobbled-together mess that a clueless
junior college freshman might throw together because he's never
thought about organizing his thoughts and material into a coherent
presentation.

When you cut-and-paste together an Frankenstein's monster, people are
apt to be horrified.

My bad. The post came through with your name attributed to it.

Now put me in your killfile and move on.

Well, I'll take that as a way to help and inform, but I still feel it was
originally an attack; yet, not by you, but another. But this type of
sarcasm, from those self appointed internet police and arm-chair attorneys,
is certainly nothing new. This has all been speculated on before, and as
before, I simply end up ignoring such remarks as no basis of true facts.
However, this type of dialogue does tend to bring others out of the woodwork
as well, some using it to promote their business, while others see the
opportunity to express personal opinions.

Either way, this has given me an idea, which I did hint at the other day.
So, in this particular case, instead of continuing on with the typical and
all too familiar personal reviews of a particular ship, which as seen here
is highly subjective anyway, I will be using the photos that we took to
communicate our thoughts on this ship instead.

So, stay tuned. That will be coming soon... called... Review: "Star Princess
in Photos."
