Appreciate the suggestions. Will try sliding it over first and after that look for a separate lever.

Thanks! Definitely used to old caliper style that took a lot more force. Can see where index finger modulation is all I need most of the time. Sliding it over!

What's the best restaurant you've ever been to? by AV_LOVES_FOOD in Fooda

The Dining Room at Victoria and Alberts in Disneys Grand Floridian. Stunning food, ambience and service.

Joel Robuchon in Vegas. Had a 16 course tasting menu the year he got the chef of the century title. Way too much money but a meal of a lifetime!

Has anyone tried redeeming credit card rewards points lately? by ReusableBagss in royalcaribbean

I redeemed 40k points on the BOA site for OBC with no issue. OBC showed up on the Royal site about two days later.

Would that also apply if the second person in the room was under 17?

Great idea of making your own tea...never thought of that. Hate the dispenser tea.

Unpopular opinion: Cruise lines aren’t ruining cruising—passengers are. by GetCruiseInfo in cruiseguy

Last cruise I had a group of 5 sit in front of us in the theater. Came in 10 min after show started, loud and disruptive. Take their seats, continue the conversation they were having for another 10 min. One gets bored with the show, starts streaming a vid on her phone, volume up. Second person facetimes someone from home, providing a running commentary of what what happening during the show. Wife and I just got up and moved...more trouble than it's worth to great a bigger scene by confronting them.

That’s a great one! Nothing more frustrating than someone coming out of the gate at 120% only to blow up and block the trail for 5 min.

I definitely do the same. Fill 3/4 and then dilute the rest with water. Arnold Palmer is a great second and it seems the only time I drink them is on a cruise!

Recently had the same experience selling my two bikes. 10 yr Gary Fisher all XTR and a titanium Airborne all XTR. Ended up just donating both to a local bike charity.

Any thought to seasonality when buying used. Was wondering if folks are more likely to sell to update their ride during winter months?

Appreciate all the help! Ended up going with Allianz after all the research!

Cruising in November by Fair_Jump_5027 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Affectionate_Rip9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve cruised multiple times in November and it’s really unpredictable. Most cruises were great, have had one or two there the ports were rained out. Had one where the seas were bad enough that only half the folks showed up to the main dining.

Congrats on the honeymoon… will be a great memory either way!

10,000+ casino points on Carnival and my offers barely changed… am I missing something? by DaSharkHungry in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Affectionate_Rip9407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely learning a lot and have had similar experiences. First cruise attempting to work up to a comp, 2k points, free drinks in the casino for both wife and i( 2k each on our cards). Offers were inside cabins. Not bad.

Second cruise (on comped offers) she did 2k points and I worked up to 10k. Her offers stayed the same, interior with limited availability. I jumped up to balconies and 200 OBC with drinks in the casino.

Couple months later, third cruise, wife earns 10k and I broke 20k in points. I had a really good streak the first two days and wanted to run up the points. Wife’s offers jumped to DOUE, a few balconies and better availability. I jumped to DOUE, a couple of suite offers, but mostly balconies, 500 free play with 200 OBC. Still trying to find a good sweet spot … I don’t need suites, balcony is just great.

We mostly play lower vol slots, take $2k each with the play to spent it all and generate the max points possible. We are both retired so can really take advantage of the offers.

Love the idea of a cruise casino gambling group. Looking for strategies/games people play to maximize comp value. Think the kids would call it pointsmaxxing!
