It's easy enough to use CC and FT differently. I go to CC to get information about certain cruise lines, interact with fellow passengers, hear both positive and negative opinions etc. I am well aware that the boards there are highly partisan and I know what to ignore and what to listen to. I come to FT if I want specific recommendations for certain things as well as more sophisticated opinions on cruise lines and hotels. And of course, air lines.
Cheers,

I got banned because I stated quite factually that in regards to Crystal's parent company, Genting Hong Kong, that financial results posted by Asian public companies are not always accurate. This give you a flavor of the moderation on Cruise Critic, they are paid to promote cruise lines and deflect any snesitive issues. The comments are also seeded with shills, promoting cruising during the pandemic as a great idea.

CC (Owned by Tripadvisor which own a crap load other travel sites) has it's place but you will face instant ban if you ever mention anything about TA aka Travel Agency. Asking a fellow CC who they use as a TA is a big no-no

A big shout out to you from me. I didn't realize exactly what CC was until your explanations up-board on the comparison between CC and FT. Now I know the differences.
However, at this point, I am uncertain as to the immediate utility of CC since I have little inclination of taking one in the near or distant future
