I have been a Cruise Critic member (screen name Coasty) for years. And I agree with JoAnn. There is so much info on CC that I find new info everytime I start looking for something. My wife and I have done a few cruises and have made some real good friends by joining the cruise ship roll calls each time we book a cruise. I would highly recommend this site if you are shopping for a cruise or have booked one and just want info about your ship or the ports.

I have been using Restaurant.com coupons for years. After reading a number of the reviews, most the the complainers must be illiterate. Come on folks, like any other coupon, you must read the terms. And if you did run into a restaurant that would not honor your coupon, I guess you should have showed the coupon before you ordered. I have found that some restaurants exceed the value of the coupon by including drinks and not adding the 18 percent tip.

I have only had one coupon that didn't work and Restaurant.com warned me in advance and offer to replace that coupon. So if you get taken advantage of by some crappy greasy spoon, don't go back, tell all your friends and post a review on YELP.com. You will feel much better and it only cost you $2 or $3. It will cost them a bundle in lost customers. Is it really fair to blame Restaurant.com?

First time I purchased from them. Had them ship a LCD monitor as a Christmas gift. Arrived in perfect shape in record time. No freight charge and about 10 per cent less then others. Looks like they are heavy into cameras. I will use them again.

buy.com is one of my favorites. Have been buying from them for about three years. There prices are usually very competitive, web site is easy to use, but their customer service stinks. When you place your order make sure your shipping address is correct. Have received all orders in good condition and exactly what I ordered.

Got a Barclays Wine coupon as a Christmas gift. It was purchased on Groupon for $25 and had a value of $75.
Barclay's Wine sent me this today:
"The membership is $129.90 and shipping fee is $19.95 so the total is $149.90 and after you Groupon discount your total that would need to be applied to a credit is $74.90. Hope this helps. If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know."
I'll let you know alright, as soon as I have and an extra $74.90 to blow on a bad deal
