I find this interesting. I'm also a member on Cruise Critic as the wife and I are taking a cruise for our 40th anniversary. Everyone gets all excited when someone does a live thread of their cruise. Pics, info, comments, all live as if you were there.
Lots of times its very entertaining especially if the poster has a good sense of humor. Much more fun than reading about someone else's bad cruise experience.
Just like on here, who really cares if a neighbor dog barks too many times at the CG.
For me I like the ongoing posts. Especially with pics.
BTW I hate facebook. :)
