Answer by Hirst, Salisbury (19 Mar 10 10:56) to a QUESTION by Mr Peter Gibson (19 Mar 10 00:43)
It is really irritating. It happened last week, yesterday and again today. I am just about to shell out to Cruise dot a large amount of money for my summer trip so I am particularly resentful at being asked to prove that I am a real person. Perhaps I should only pay 'virtual' money. (Bet that comes out with a slash before the apostrophes. Something else they need to sort out.)

Answer by Jon, Birmingham (19 Mar 10 10:00) to a QUESTION by Mr Peter Gibson (19 Mar 10 00:43)
I thought that it had been fixed, but I had another yesterday. I gather the system is in place to stop automated search engines (or something like that) from trawling the offers being made for cruises by Cruise dot. Unfortunately they seem to be suffering from some sloppy or clumsy programming. I find that, if I go away from the site and come back I can get access. You would think that a company that relies on site traffic for its business would get it sorted.

If you go back 5 or 6 pages you will find this was last weeks hot topic and caused numerous complaints (similar to yours). They said it had been fixed but as I\'ve not encountered the problem I can\'t really say.

....but it's fairly clear they've fixed the problem of a forward slash that's been appearing when you've typed in an apostrophe, isn't it .......................'Chris' LOL
