It is the irrelevant word that the mods have put on people who write "LIVE" threads.

Lightly cooked, charred on the outside, red but warm in the middle

Irrelevant 🤔

 

It is fairly accurate. We are a 'rare' breed😁

 

And FWIW, Live reviews are a cheap way to generate content and drive repeat visits to the site. Makes sense that CC woukd encourage them

Wow, sensitive much?  Unbunch those panties, John.

 

I happen to think that "rare" is an odd choice, if they want to somehow highlight a poster who writes LIVE threads.

 

The word "LIVE", comes to mind, for example.

It's actually not so "rare".  Lots of people have it.

I prefer medium-rare . Like the ribeye i ate yesterday .

[Sunshine3601]

Have they stopped giving posters this banner as I saw a recent live review and the person never received the "Rare" banner?

Me, it has to be well done.  Char it a bit, if needed.

Oh .. ok thanks ... and I agree with you -- very odd choice of word for it.    "LIVE" would have been 100x better and more obvious about what it meant.

Almost no one asks for rare liver.

How is that post portraying my panties in a twist. I used a smilley emoji.😉

 

You seem to think I care. 🤔

Sweet, but mistaken.

According to CC, less than 5%

Personally,  I think it's less

 

Don't see one on your avatar😉

It's a manual process. 

 

I guess they're to busy cleaning up threads 🤷 

 

Here's the last Live review listed in the Live Reviews summary sheet. 

 

Now keep in mind, a Live review is different than one done after the fact.

That's correct. I don't do reviews while I'm on a cruise.

Not everyone that does a live review gets the banner. Not sure how they decide who gets it and who doesn't.

But John&LaLa have got 3 rares. Which is probably like a medium-well.

Vast majority don't.  It requires an internet pkg and a commitment to see it through

 

My original ones were in the D+ days with only 4 days of internet

We were on the maiden voyage of the Wonder in March to E Caribbean. Then the NCL Encore in April to E Caribbean. We were on the Quantum May/June to Alaska (pre-fire and engine trouble) in a Sky Loft which was really nice for Alaska. Next cruise is on NCL in a 2BR Haven suite to W Caribbean. And a Bermuda cruise after that.... our last two Bermuda cruises ended up being New England cruises to avoid "tropical disturbances", so we're hoping to get there this time. Looking at another W Caribbean to round out the year.

I might do Bermuda on Mariner. Never been before.

 

Starting to limit the Live reviews to unique voyages
