I have done several reader reviews the past couple of years has Travelpage stopped posting them? I notice there are not many new ones anymore. I just sent in a review of Norwegian Dawn say a couple of weeks ago and nothing yet. I reviewed Regal Empress and Norwegian Jewel and they were never posted either. Is there anybody home?

I am still here but we just do not get many reviews anymore. With the advent of blogs, everyone seems to post on their own site.

I do not recall seeing your submissions for Norwegian Dawn. I try to post every review within days of submission. Do you know when you submitted the Norwegian Dawn review?

I recently did a reader review on Grand Princess. It took a few days before posting. Too bad people don't use this site for reviews. There has to be a lot of CTers out there that have cruised recently/often.
Please post!! That's what this site is about---

I posted it to your site back in march. It's just that I put the effort in and then I don't see it posted. Maybe I should send you an email when I post it? This is not the first time I have done this.

I will take a look for it. I am also going to change the email address that the reviews are sent to. The old one gets a ton of SPAM since it's been around for so long.

Joe, did you ever consider turning elements of the site over to blogs or a blog style?

I would hope not. It might be fashionable but the diary style of blogs is not suitable for every kind of content. Many blogs are a mess since they often end up becoming very badly structured webpages (usually they are simply too 'long'). Beside that, there are so many blogs out there, it would be a waste to turn this webpage into 'just another' blog.

That would make sense that you might overlook a review if it were mixed in with a bunch of spam. If and when you do that I will rewrite my Norwegian Dawn review. Thanks I enjoy your website and the arguments it starts.
