cruisecritic.com As a forum for folks looking for detailed information, score last-minute deals, vent frustration, unconditionally praise their favorite ship or search for specific cruise types, cruisecritic is undeniably one-stop shopping. Granted, the big cruise lines all advertise here, but that doesn’t seem to stop anyone from editorializing at will, from people criticizing the food, the service and the experiences on all of the majors to the site itself posting news about lawsuits or cruise delays caused by safety concerns. Check out the tips for first-timers, which include everything from veterans’ suggestions on how to select a cabin to how to pack and what the best ports of call are, and you can log on to see if people on a ship you’re sailing have entered their names into the roll call for a “meet and mingle” before boarding.
