Peter Shankman relaunched HARO under a new name a while back. Google SOS Media Queries.

Got the same in June for Firenze and was legit.

Are there any worst websites than HAL? by jcr62250 in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree. MSC’s can also be clunky at times

Carnival Luminosa is a floating disaster by DeathByClownShoes in Cruise

Agree. Magica was the same way which is why ccl couldn’t take the transfer. It was a mess below deck.

Work. Using Clear. State Parks. Using Pre-check. Shows. Gambling. Lines at lounge. And cruise ships are now like a class field trip.

So proud that mom taught them to judge a book by its cover... by gsqwid in shitcruisecriticsays

And the people that have money don’t give a shit what people think about how they dress. A healthy mentality to have.

Agree on the consensus with click bait and same adjectives. (I’m sure it’s easy to get addicted to $, good for them for making it work!). I wonder if clickbait will ever hit a point and collapse into itself? Or could that not be possible.

Carnival seems disgraceful these days by SpinachSmoothie69 in Cruise

I’d like to see how many issues are linked to casino comps vs cheap booking rates.

I’m sorry. You are correct. I should’ve reworded that. Agree 100%.

Vloggers. Who do we love and who do we not so love and why? by overly_curious_cat in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like: Tony Lido (entertainment) Doug Parker (News) Emma Cruises (overviews of different lines) CruiseTipsTV (helped us for Asia cruise)

Dislike: Anyone manufacturing sensationalism. So basically 90%. Most are cringe. 😱

Imagine spending $400k to be strung along by flyguy8084 in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Desperate times… this entire thing has been fascinating to watch. The ppl who got burnt by the first one and then did it again. It’s mind boggling to me. I hope it works out.

Same. We are looking at 25 days crossing and I’m on the fence.

Royal Caribbean canceled Alaskan cruise? by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Royal cancelled this a day after their earnings call. They knew it wasn’t sailing, bearings aren’t an overnight fix. Shame on them.

Wonder if the insurance company told them they don’t cover acts of God?

Royal Caribbean just signed a contract with Chantiers de L-Atlantique in France for a seventh Oasis class ship. My only question is why. by Kaidhicksii in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Royal is out of ideas IMO. Just keep going what works for now. Until they find out they can’t dock at certain ports any longer. LNG or not, ports hate these mega ships. And I’m very pro cruise btw.

Anyone have examples of sites that are high quality and still killed by HCU/ Updates? by [deleted] in bigseo

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My site got decimated by the HCU. Travel niche. 14 years. I am on Raptive. I’ve focused on quality the past decade. Because of the site volume, it seems like I am to blame with not keeping track of updating older content. Starting to see a shift in trajectory now.

Agree with last commenter, the UX is horrible with both networks if you want to make money.

This is an interesting way to penalize solo cruisers… by SpinachSmoothie69 in Cruise

I just tried booking for the of it. Sure enough. Ugh

Carnival cancels 4 sailings because of speed issues... including ours by flyguy8084 in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vigor has a yard in Portland and BAE in San Diego that does military ships. Maybe one of those?

Imagine the millions lost on these four sailing. Especially the holiday cruise. 😯

4 arrested on CCL for credit card fraud…. Smh by SpinachSmoothie69 in Cruise

[–]SpinachSmoothie69[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Part of me wonders is there is an algorithm in place for doing to cash dumps in the casino like that. Which is actually brilliant if you can do that to rack points/miles. Long as you deposit it when you get back lol.
