Joe...

I submitted a cruise review yesterday afternoon about my trip on the Carnival Spirit through the Hawaiian islands, but I haven't seen it posted as of this morning.

Any idea how long it takes before it gets posted?

Thanks

Billybob, I think it depends on Joe's work load?

Much of the time he drinks cocktails by the pool, but he does occasionally do a bit of web stuff too!

Give it a few days! Thanks for posting it!

Thanks Malcolm....

Wish I could lounge by a pool while I did my work like Joe does!!

I'll also apologize to Joe in advance if my review was a bit long, but it was such a fabulous time that I just couldn't stop writing about it.

I know once I read it, I'll think of things I left out, but it'll be nice to think of the memories all over again.

I can't wait to read it myself...and I wrote it!

Thanks again (you too Joe!)

No, Joe does this INSTEAD of working!

I don't think long (Comprehensive) reviews are a problem? In fact I like them!

BillyBob,

I did get the review and as Malcolm said, long reviews are great we really like them. I will try to get it posted in the next day or so.

It fooled me too!

Just as I sent a review of the Norway's first "annual" farewell cruise my computer disconnected itself, so I watched for it to arrive and after twenty four hours did a similar review as I was writing "freestyle" to replace it in the belief it had gone to that great electronic trash can somewhere out there.

Sure enough the following day Review One appeared. Review Two has not appeared, so Joe must have realised my mistake and abandoned the second.

Well done that man!

I do however note we're still waiting for Malcolm's, or was his 'live report' a substitute?

People are probably sick of hearing me talk about the SS Norway!

I was not the only CruiseTalker on the Norway. My opinion is not any more important than anyone elses. I though it was about time that I let other people have their say!

I may post a review, sooner or later, simply because I'm always nagging everyone else to!

It's late, I am on the road (...not at sea), but duty calls and I have just finished posting BillyBob's Carnival Spirit Review. Here's the link.

Great review and thanks for sharing it with us. As to size - for the record yours is the sixth longest review on the site.
