rjac Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 In the past, cruisers have posted comments/reviews under the excursions offered for an upcoming cruise which they have been on. Not so any more, which I find interesting. Now I can understand this if it is a brand new excursion that RC has never offered before. We are booked on the Serenade March 6 and the excursions they offer are not new and no reviews/comments. They are the same ones that were offered in 2011 when we were on the Serenade. Anyone else notice this? Or am I looking in the wrong place? I'm an old guy, but not senile.....yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I believe you are talking about the RC site and you are not senile (yet). RC used to have reviews but removed the feature a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to use it when determining if an excursion was worth the money, perhaps that's why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_ Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks for you vote of confidence! Wonder why they removed that feature? I use to use it when determining if an excursion was worth the money, perhaps that's why? I noticed that the reviews were missing this week, which I assumed they removed to kill any "negative" reviews that were present. Hey, I'm a negative thinker. Instead I used cruisecritic and tripadvisor to zero in on good vs bad. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donolog Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 What I would prefer is if they published the aggregate value of ratings (say, out of four or five) given in post-cruise surveys of people that took the excursion. When I read a review I generally wonder if I would agree with the reviewer on anything else in life, but at least a "crowd" number tends to even out the "never can be happy" and "I love everything" votes, especially when using them to compare with other excursions. I find the overall user ratings the most useful component of sites like TripAdvisor and Hotels.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toodle68 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I always use https://www.tripadvisor.com .. they have reviews (hundreds) for pretty much every excursion I have researched. http://www.cruisecritic.com/ also has the excursions with reviews.
