I was just wondering this the other day. I had noticed that there is someone who often posts negative things about DCL and the person hasn't even taken a DCL cruise yet. This person has a countdown ticker and according to it, this person still has several months until the person takes his/her first cruise on DCL. Maybe they think they can convince everyone to stop taking Disney cruises But I agree doesn't make much sense, but I sometimes wonder if they work for the competition????
I can see why people talk about other cruise lines here. Some people started out on Disney but are considering other options as the prices have skyrocketed. Other people started on other cruise lines but are considering cruising on Disney. I think there is benefit for both groups to post here and share experiences. We've only cruised Disney and are gold CC members, but I've booked our first non-Disney cruise. What I've read from other Disboards posters here about other cruise lines helped me make the decision to branch out. Once I've cruised with another line, if I feel that experience might be helpful to a topic here on the DIS, I will post about it.
As for why some people that clearly hate Disney post here, short answer is some people just thrive on negativity. But there are times when I see someone being accused of hating on Disney and really they are just posting a truthful, less than stellar experience with Disney. Disney is not infallible and some people seem to believe that pointing out any flaws makes that poster a Disney hater.

The reason the prices are skyrocketing is because someone is willing to pay that amount. It is simple supply and demand. If the demand wasn't high, prices wouldn't be either...Agree with first paragraph totally. Regarding why people complain about aspects of a Disney cruise, maybe they are hoping that someone at DCL will be reading these posts and that by pointing out the negatives, those aspects might be changed. I love to cruise Disney but I am appalled at the way their prices are skyrocketing, I hate their coffee and I am not happy about the decrease in amenities that we have seen over the years. Will that make me stop cruising Disney? Maybe but again, maybe not. Right now I am exploring rail tours. Canada has some pretty cool ones for about the price of a Disney cruise. However, there will be no cast members on a rail tour and the Disney cast members are, to me, the best part of a Disney cruise.

these are sometimes called "discussion boards"
to have a discussion it helps to have multiple points of view ......
I was unfortunately born an Eeyore. A little black rain cloud tends to follow me. But on DCL I get magic and hugs and feel like Pooh and Tigger rolled into one. On my 14 night WBPC cruise I got so many hugs and I love you's that my heart is still over filled. I really try to avoid the trolls here because life has enough to bring me down.
Some people like to start fights. Some people like to stir pots. Some people never stopped being playground bullies.

We are all here to share our experiences and opinions. We are all different people so it would make sense we all don't think the same. That is what keeps these boards going...discussion! As long as things are said in a polite way, according to the rules of the forums, anything related to DCL can be posted on this board whether its positive or negative.
