Your assumption is wrong. I've never asked nor have I ever referred to the sticky's about ships and staterooms. Took our first cruise in 1991. No CC, didn't know anyone that cruised. The TA we used made no recommendations. We booked what we thought was good for us. Great cruise. Been booking all our cruises the same way. No regrets with the cruise lines, ships, staterooms, dining venues, food selections or intinaries we have selected. Way too many arguing opinions/experiences here on CC for me. That's why I never offer my opinion.
I don't expect you or others to agree with me. Whatever works for you, great. To each their own.
