I think you and I have the same sources on CC. Unbelievable! Wonder what's next with said poster? From the stories I've heard, this poster deserved the royal flush.

Very interesting reading to say the least.

You have got to be kidding. Let me get this straight. I get banned from CC because I put in TA contact for a non-CC group in a post and this person, a well known trouble maker on CC, gets to stay? Goes to show you that LS has special pets...

Three cheers to Royal Caribbean for standing up to this person!

I got banned because of that poster! She is well protected on CC for some reason unknown to me..........

WOW!

Way to go Royal Caribbean!

It's going to be interesting to watch how this all plays out.

Looks like LS has locked up all the threads on the subject...

I'm surprised she didn't lock it or make it go "poof" before this...

Well, she did poof several of the links that some referred to in that thread.......

Maybe it's just because I'm new but what do you mean by "LS" or "TA Contact". I'm sorry for being the newbee here.

"LS" are the initals of the owner of another cruise message board. And "TA Contact" simply means Travel Agent Contact, on the other board that's a no-no. Luckily, here we can post such information. And, don't worry about being new, we were all new at some point. Welcome to the board!

Not a big fan of CC either. Oh you can post your TA over there as long as you pay $$$ on the sly or you've become one of the accepted in the little cliche.

Just got this in an email from CruiseMates:

To Those About to Cruise - Whine Not!
by Paul Motter





"Brenda Moran, a chronic complainer, was banned from further Royal
Caribbean cruises because the company grew tired of her constant
demands for compensation. The cruise line tried to please her several
times, even including a $500 refund along with the letter they sent
advising her that she was no longer welcome on their ships.

Since her story came out we have received a litany of complaints
from people who believe the cruise lines should compensate them as
well. In most cases, they claim they sustained a minor injury. I am
beginning to feel like the cruise injury clearing house.

I don't enjoy hearing about people getting hurt, but in truth most
of the complaints I have received are for minor cuts and some happened
on shore. I can't do anything about any of them anyway. All I can do is
give my message to those about to cruise:

"You are going on a ship at sea. Please note that there will be many
things about the ship that are different from a land-based dwelling.
Please continue to assess your environment throughout the cruise and
watch out for things that may be potentially dangerous."

In the course of any cruise many things could happen that wouldn't
happen in your home. Just walking down steps on a ship in high seas is
potentially very dangerous. Door jambs to bathrooms are higher because
the ship's angle changes and water on the floor will not always go
directly down the drain. Things that would normally be stable can fall
over. Heavy doors can slam unexpectedly. Items can roll off of shelves.

A cruise vessel is built to withstand almost anything the mighty
ocean can dish out, but as any boat owner will tell you, they require
constant maintenance. Things break down more quickly on ships than they
do on land, due to the movement, sea air and changing climatic
conditions. It takes longer to fix things on ships because of time and
availability constraints. The crew can't just run down to Home Depot
every time they need a different screw.Do not take a cruise if you are not ready to adjust your mind and
body to the reality of the shipboard environment. I know the image of
cruising is one of being esconced in the lap of luxury, but the truth
is there is always the potential for a ship at sea to become a hostile
environment. At that point, they are not for the faint-hearted.

The purpose of a cruise is to enjoy being at sea. If all you care
about is pampering and attention, go to a land-based spa. If you want
over-bearing safety restaints the airlines will strap you in and refuse
you access to the restroom everytime things get a little bumpy. But if
you take a cruise please try to get into the spirit of being on a ship,
and please don't ruin your vacation by only focusing on what is wrong."
