Re: For those that like to go with the crowd
My serious bit!!
Well guys and gals, this forum is full of some exceptional information to help and inform all levels of cruise enthusiast, but you have to search deeply in order to find it.
This was the main reason why both Peter D and myself asked our illustrious administrator if there was anyway, by utilizing an index style file database structure, to make it easier to find information. Such a great resource as this forums database could be a wonderful asset to all.
As regards the banter, I like a lot of the punters on here can be as guilty as others. However, some of you who may recall my initial post when I returned to the forum after the onset of my health problems in which I told you about being unable to see the screen to read what was going on. My dear Lady Macbeth and my daughter read out to me all the unread posts (great little feature David) and I admitted that the humor helped to pass away some of those very dark hours, days and weeks.
Most of the banter should probably appear in the "General Chat" pages and probably does, but there will always be occasions when the way some new posts are written, on purpose or not, which just open themselves up to banter without really trying.

I tend to leave things alone just as long as no posts are deemed offensive to the recipient or offensive in their nature, and for so long as matters don't get out of hand. It is a bit of a tightrope act but, by and large, those who post on the forum appreciate the facility and work within the rules.
If you want heavy-handed, unaccountable moderation, go to the BBC HYS forum

Getting them is one thing. Filling them is another. And staying afloat yet another..... Just, yeh you know.

It's the embarkation/disembarkation timings that concern me...

Probably one step away form not docking at all and the ship itself being the destination

They'll just anchor the ship in the Caribbean and/or Med and tow the islands to it.
