watermelonqueen99 Posted July 15, 2014 #27 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love any review that has big, clear pictures, and an entertaining narrative. I confess, I don't read reviews that do not include pictures, and if I click on a review and see that the pics are small, I don't read it. I am definitely a Wrigley80 groupie. And I also love Shyhova's reviews. I'm drawing a blank on other's names right now, but there are so many great reviews I've read over the years here on CC, it's so hard to pick out my favorites! Right now, I'm enthralled with JennN's Dream review! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted July 15, 2014 #31 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Anybody been around here long enough to read Mach's reviews? Great! Miss him a lot. And yes, he had a picture for EVERYTHING!! Sometimes now someone will ask for a certain picture and my brain jumps right to "..if ony Mach were around, he'd have that!"

wrigley80 Posted July 15, 2014 #33 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thought this would be fun. On the carnival boards which cc member do look forward to seeing their reviews? I look forward to wrigley80, love her and her dad i feel like i know them from their reviews. They seem so genuine. I also look forward to paulmedik he has some of the best review pics ever on cruise critic. I consider him a neighbor in the little brother state west of me lol. Thank you Matt. You're pretty great yourself....even though you do have questionable taste in Basketball teams...haha I leave on the Carnival Pride next Sunday so there will be another review soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted July 15, 2014 #34 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thank You to everyone who said they enjoyed reading my reviews. It is truly a pleasure to put these photo reviews together for everyone. Yes they are a lot of work but it is a great way to re-live the vacation all over again. There will be another review soon. I leave on the Carnival Pride next Sunday.

WindsorFred Posted July 15, 2014 #35 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Heykidsgetoffmylawn did a great review, believe it was his first, and was very entertaining. (his was the one about being on the wrong dune buggy excursion) At the same time I was reading Shyhova's (sp?) latest that was also entertaining, unfortunately he never finished it. Like some others have stated there are many reasons that make a review worth reading. Edited July 15, 2014 by WindsorFred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciardasully Posted July 15, 2014 #36 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love reading reviews. I love feeling like I am invited to join someone's vacation and when they are repeat reviewers, they almost begin to feel like friends, as cheesy as that sounds. There are too many to choose from!

You have such a way with words to make someone feel so loved. I truly cherish every moment that I am able to cruise with my dad. And yes he is feeling much better. He just needs to take it easy onboard and relax. We are just happy that we are able to cruise together again. My mom is even going with us next Sunday. We are cruising to celebrate my parents 37th wedding anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted July 15, 2014 #40 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Really enjoying this thread :) MikeyA, PaulMedik, Mitsugirly, are among my faves. Love, love, love pictures. That said, I appreciate everyone who takes the time to produce a review. Mach was all about the details and is missed by many here. Heykidsgetoffmylawn (?) Was one of the funniest I have ever read here. Sent from my phone. Typos are inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehenfan01 Posted July 15, 2014 #41 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I like Wrigley's as well....plus Mike and Tracy's. But to be honest, there are so many people on here that do some great reviews. It's been 3 years since i've been on a cruise and just reading reviews and seeing the outstanding pictures really make me live vicariously through them as i keep hoping that my next cruise will come soon! If all goes well, i would love to be back on the Pride when she returns from Tampa next Spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted July 15, 2014 #42 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love everyone who takes the time and effort to do a review, especially reviews with pictures. The many different styles and writing techniques are what makes each individuals reviews so GREAT!! It's what inspired me to start doing my own. I have back to back cruises on the Fascination and Liberty next month, so stay tuned!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsgal Posted July 15, 2014 #43 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I enjoy Mike & Tracy's, Wrigley80 and her dad's adventures, Gambee's are classic, GAPearl is so much fun and spaniel lover has such gorgeous pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name Of The Game Posted July 15, 2014 #44 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I don't really keep track of user names but a couple come to mind as far as beautiful pictures: Mitsugirly Italiangirly (or something like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayton Beach Girl Posted July 16, 2014 #45 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Just got off the Liberty last month. It may be quite awhile before I can go on my next cruise. Until then, I will enjoy hearing from my favorite reviewers. I am SO looking forward to Wrigley80's Pride review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmedic Posted July 16, 2014 #46 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Anybody been around here long enough to read Mach's reviews? i remember them... my favorite ever was The Clampetts go to Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted July 16, 2014 #47 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I really do enjoy so many of the reviews, especially from the regulars who post a review with photos after each cruise they take, there are so many, but to name a few, yes MikeyA, Paulmedik, gambee, Jamman, and I especially enjoy Wrigley80's reviews, just love her enthusiam. I really did also love Shyhova's first review, and the beginning of his second review, which for some reason was not completed. And also Mitsugirly, as I enjoyed many of her NCL reviews before. So....for me, just too many great reviewers here on CC for me to pick a favorite, but I do appreciate so many, even the ones without photos. Keep them coming folks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybluecruiser Posted July 16, 2014 Author #48 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I remember Mach as well. I lurked here for 3 years before i ever joined lol. Remeber him in his role as host Mach. Somebody else who has a wealth of info in his reviews is Sargent Shultz. Though he has seem to taken a leave of absence from cc. His website is still linked here for the info.

Shaded Lady Posted July 16, 2014 #49 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Also, there was a woman last year sometime. Wish I could remember her username. She posted quite a lengthy review about her trip with her adult son last year sometime. By far the funniest and most entertaining review I've ever read. I know that she was quite fond of the grouchy gentleman who did the omelets in the morning and was determined to win him over. And she made numerous references to the fact that they were always out of towels and she was trying to dry off with a washcloth. And there was a family of dust clumps living under the bed or something. Can't remember her name. She didn't finish her review either. I was totally bummed. Funniest review ever. Her name was Mamaskittles... I think she had health issues and never came back to CC... I think of her once in a while and hope she's doing well... remember her ongoing fight with her cabin steward to get clean towels? I laughed til I cried! and Ivan who made her her special omelets and made google eyes with her? You all have mentioned most of my favorites... another one I really enjoyed was Italianfemmy- she's a professional photographer and took awesome pictures, but also engaged you in her review, you felt like you were experiencing her cruise!

megansdad1 Posted July 16, 2014 #50 Share Posted July 16, 2014 another one that I used to love reading that I have not seen mentioned is Gatorclaw. I loved the prank that he had with Host Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
