Default Cruise Critic, Banned!

About half of what I posted was removed each time (about two hundred posts
total, as I seem to not have a life).

There were two topics they removed often. One had to do with the fact that I
thought not have a hand-held shower was unsanitary. I am willing to do
without a bidet, but the absence of a hand-held is too much. Also, it may be
why Princess has more Noro virus problems.

The other bone of contention was my sense of humor. I offered that giving
religous tracts in lieu of cas tips was a GREAT idea. The costs can be as
little as a penny a piece, but could save someone from an unattractive
eternity. A win/win situation! Otherwise, just pay the tips and don't get all
fancy with gift certificates or home-made fudge.

The first round of umbrage I experience there, was when I bragged I bought
gifts of diamonds and gold for friends. In Alaska, the t-shirt shops have
"black diamond" necklaces for a buck, and little vials of gold flakes for
two. You'd have thought I had personally wrung the neck of the baby Jebus by
the response I got for that. That'll teach me not to shop Diamonds
International.

I think people who cruise are looking for a "safe" holiday. Those who
frequent CC are looking for a safe internet experience. I guess I just rocked
the boat too much for their delicate nature.


I think all kinds of people cruise with various types of holidays in
mind. Those who post on Cruise Critic are looking for information. The
aggressive moderation is due to the fact that it is a commercial
enterprise and that they are trying to sell cruises and advertising to
cruise lines. It is what it is.if you are going on a cruise you can get
useful information. Don't be confused by the "Critic" part of their
name. They are part of the Cruise industry.

Sounds like your posts about Alaska were funny. I hated seeing Diamonds
International and their ilk at the Alaska ports.

I don't see why hand held showers would have anything to do with Noro.
Could you illuminate me on your theory about that? Also cruise lines
with hand held showers have Noro. And I don't think Noro outbreaks on
Princess are more or less than on other cruise lines.
