“This is a real case of the public speaking its mind and the results are not always what we expect. Some cruise lines seem to produce a lot more reviews than others and it is hard to say why,” says Cynthia Boal Janssens, editor of the website. “However, there is little doubt that these results clearly reflect the opinions of our cruise consumers and ultimately very credible reviewers.”
“Not only is this information helpful to those who write and report on the industry, but the first-hand reviews give real insight to the onboard experience and are extremely helpful to consumers who are trying to select a ship for their precious vacation time,” says Janssens
Travel agents will also find the reviews helpful when recommending ships to their clients. To read the ship reviews on AllThingsCruise, go to: http://allthingscruise.com/cruise-reviews/
