Jeafl Posted February 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We are doing the 8-day eastern Caribbean on the Magic in November, and in browsing the excursions most have reviews that are 3+ years old! Some I noticed were 13 years old! I understand that there was a gap during Covid, but cruising's been back a couple of years now. Surely someone has done these recently. I guess we will probably end up booking through independent tour operators as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingguy007 Posted February 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It's because of the website design, they want you to remove all ad blockers and disable security features to be able to leave a review. I tried several times and it simply won't let you, I'm not sure what they were thinking but that's the way it's set up. It's quite strange indeed. They also don't ask you to review excursions as part of the post cruise survey, which would be an easy way to exclude folks who didn't take excursions from leaving reviews and thus, the need for disabling security features that they have in place. Every time I try I get this: Please disable any ad blockers, which can prevent successful review submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted February 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I use Firefox with ublock origin and i have no issues with seeing reviews for shore excursions. I have a cruise on the Paradise in a few weeks and i am seeing recent reviews from last month to 3-6 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtouch Posted February 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Not sure why you are having this issue as I am not a computer master. But my wife and I when reviewing saw lots of reviews from weeks to just a few months ago. Hope it gets better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationlover16 Posted February 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I am thankful for the little bit there is. Going on a Disney cruise in March and they don't have any at all so I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matymil Posted February 8, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Its always been like that. Ive taken them with a grain of salt, especially the ones written right after the restart. Seems like alot of them sway to the negative side. We did a bubble tour excursion in Sept 21 at Amber Cove and had a blast. Left a 5 star review and a couple of days later some left a one star review basically because of the covid restrictions. Probably best bet is to google the excursion.

I used to try to leave reviews, but for whatever reason, they would get rejected - and I couldn't see anything that seemed bad, and they won't tell you the reason it was rejected. So I gave up after it happened a few times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely explains why most people don't bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I tried a few times and just gave up, too much of a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
