big_duck Posted August 6, 2012 #26 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I don't think that the OP is talking about the normal posters who criticize some of the changes made by Carnival or something that happened on their recent cruise. I have seen some posters though that I wonder why they are posting on the Carnival boards because their comments are nothing more than, "Carnival is the walmart of the seas" I never understood the comparison, but in that idiom it certainly isn't the Neiman Markus of the Seas. "What do you expect - low class / trailer trash / drunks are the kind of people that Carnival attracts" Well, Crystal certainly doesn't attract them. "Carnival is the golden corral of cruising." I don't know what that means, but I suspect it is the similar to the Wal-mart comment. Criticism is fine but what exactly do these people add to the conversation? They add similes, metaphors and cliches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 6, 2012 #27 Share Posted August 6, 2012 They add similes, metaphors and cliches. Golden Corral is a buffet style restaurant here. They do themes like fish, all kinds and it is pretty good if you ask me on Friday for instance. I must have low standards, as we like it. My Dad hates sit down restaurants and waiting for someone to cook his food. .. so I guess it describes a place we have eaten at numerous times. I dont know why people hate buffet, all you can eat type of restaurants that serve good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEG51 Posted August 6, 2012 #28 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is Cruise Critic. /quote] A critic is also "One who forms and expresses judgments of the merits, faults, value, or truth of a matter" and doesn't just express negative comments.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Musky Ike Posted August 6, 2012 #29 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I blame the name of this site. It is call Cruise CRITIC, so people come here to criticize. Maybe a movement to change the name is in order. Cruise Chat would be nice.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted August 6, 2012 #30 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just wondeirng why people that don't like Carnival are on the Carnival Section of Cruise Critic? If you are't a fan then why are you wasting time reading posts and questions? I thought the OP was asking why do people who DONT cruise with Carnival get on the Carnival Boards and make comments, negative or positive, . Nope. It doesn't look like that is what the OP asked. OP: to answer your comment, please read the second sentence in red in my signature. In essence, if you love CCL don't worry about what anyone else thinks....
