Why do some of you feel it necessary to shame or insult people who complain or criticize cruise lines or cruise line policies? Isn’t that the original purpose of this forum? Aren’t we supposed to alert others to issues and pass along bad AND good things that happened to help others. If I see a post that I don’t agree with, I don’t feel the need to bash and bully that person. I just don’t respond to that post. Just because their situation doesn’t affect me, doesn’t mean it’s still not valid to them. I’m happy that you have been so successful in your life that you no longer care how much cruising costs. I’m happy that you can stay in the suites and eat at the best restaurants every night. I truly am. However, there are some of us who have to watch for sales and discounts. Rising prices and diminishing amenities are issues troubling for a lot of cruisers. Show the same patience and kindness to others that you would want for yourself. Would you respond in the same manner if that post was written by your grandmother?

Fantastic review and trip report. Thank you for taking the time to inform and entertain us. Really enjoyed reading about your experiences. Looking forward to sailing on the Edge in April.

Thank you so very much for taking the time while on vacation to give so much back to the community. My DW and I will be on this same itinerary in April and have found your posts extremely helpful in our planning. Thanks for the honest feedback and wonderful photos and descriptions. We hope you continue to have a wonderful trip.
