Because there is a shit-ton this week-and there probably won't be another one for a bit the ways things are going.So let's get started, shall we?
*Cheerleaders do not try to spin positive posts but will seldom accept anything negative about their beloved cruise line.This is an issue on each cruise line's board.
(Yeah, but it's a lightning rod on the HAL boards)
They'll say "our cabins have always been fine"
(which discounts the experiences of, and is a slap in the face of anyone who has had issues)
There are a couple of posters that will beat you into a pulp and harass you 'till you give up.I thought that type of behavior was not allowed but some posters are golden.
(Yes, yes they are.)
The cheerleaders have gotten threads that disagree with them closed, which just goes to show how much sway certain posters really *do* have.
*Hal "experts" get on my last nerve. Yes, we know, talking about outside websites and the like is a huge no-no but you don't have to mention it multiple times in the same thread.They jump all over new posters especially-and then snipe at the people who say that that is the sort of thing that scares off new posters(well, it's true!)
WRT the outside website thing too: could they have explained why they did what they did better?Yes.Same with the wine policy.But there was plenty of warning, but not enough for some people, and then there were miscommunications about when it was going to start.Thing is,people knew about that and were kinda in denial about it.They feel like they should be able to bring as much booze as they want on a cruise-but the whole reason that that policy was implemented was because people were bringing cases and cases of wine.Whut?I mean, you're only going on a week long cruise and you need *that* much wine? I think that's called alcoholism, actually. I don't even care if that comes off as shaming, either.
Yes, HAL's wine selection isn't great, but you have to bring like 2 or 3 cases of wine? SMH.Add to that the way that some cruisers brag about how many drinks they order a day.
*HAL is getting more relaxed about formal nights, according to some comments on the HAL boards...the crew wants guests to enjoy themselves..the cheerleaders are more concerned about this than HAL is(of course..)Someone made the comment about how a lot of the people on the HAL boards are old times who cling to old traditions.
(Ain't that the truth..they want to recreate Titanic on every cruise.That and the "tux and gowns only" mentality. How soon before steamer trunks make a comeback with some HAL cruisers?)
*The lady whose kids got hassled on the Panama cruise posted a picture of the people around the pool-one of the people was the one who hassled her kids so she blurred out the faces of everyone in the picture..except she did a shitty job.
Well, at least she did..unlike the person who posted pictures of people that they thought were not dressed appropriately on formal night without the faces blurred out(and got ripped a new asshole for it.)
Plus, she mentioned the fact her kids got hassled by other posters..constantly.Like I said when that post was live..it's a cry for attention.
*The latest thing is "would you cancel a cruise if you didn't like the captain/cruise director?" Really?Seriously, is this freaking high school? I am dealing with that right now so it hits home..but y'all are grown-ass men and women.I don't get it.
