A new cruise website promises to be the cruise sector's answer to Trip Advisor.
InsideCruise.co.uk allows users to leave their opinions on cruises and post pictures and videos.
The site sparked controversy when, still in its infancy, it pointed to the top ten cruise deals on the web. It was reported that agents were angry that they hadn't been consulted before their deals appeared online, and they weren't made aware that the site is owned by award-winning agency Ideal Cruising.
But agents I spoke to this week welcomed the site, acknowledging the importance of travellers having access to unbiased reviews.
See what you think on www.insidecruise.co.uk and read the full story in this week's Travel Weekly.

Looks like they have made quite a few improvements, but I think the new site from socruise is far better, and easier to use. www.socruise.co.uk but I think it's aimed at a younger target ordinance.

What I like about Inside Cruise is the friendly atmosphere, a real community, the forum is pretty active and there are a lot of interesting people on there who are really passionate about cruising. I uploaded 2 reviews when i first joined and true to their word they send me a cheque for a tenner the following month. So Cruise looks manufactured to me like a community in a box! The proof is in the forum... no posts.
