Become a Cruise Critic!
What were the highlights, what could have gone better, what would you do differently next time?
ANYBODY who has been on a cruise can become a cruise critic, write a cruise review and have it posted on the site. The aim of the site is to give others a variety of views and opinions. You do not have to have had to purchase your cruise with Cruise.co.uk to write a review. Please be as descriptive as you can. Please BE FAIR, HONEST and FACTUAL in your role of cruise critic. We want your cruise reviews to benefit others, so we will not publish any that are rude, libellous, complete rants. We do not edit the review nor do we endorse the views expressed
The online review you write should be a cruise you have been on in the last 2 years. The review must be new and cannot be posted elsewhere on any other website. It should be fair, honest, informative, and publishable and must be at least 200 words in length. Only 1 Berlitz guide will be sent per household. Dispatch of books is on a first come first serve basis and you will receive your copy in February 2008.
