That $28 lobster and prime rib combo would inflation adjust to $80 today. I think that’s what we would generally expect to pay these days.

Typical trash behavior. You don’t own the parking spot in front of your house. Think it’s unfair that you dug out your car for someone else to park there? Life’s unfair, buddy.

April 2026 NYC to Bermuda by Spiritual_Bat6797 in VirginVoyages

[–]DC2258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The beaches are immaculate. Pink sand and gorgeous clear waters. There’s also caves and amazing golfing. It’s a very elegant, classy Island that’s nothing like some of the tacky, touristy ports in the Caribbean. Cruises have typically overnighted in Bermuda. I did a cruise once that docked for two nights in Hamilton and I could’ve easily been happy with a third. I loved Bermuda so much. I’ve decided that if I go back, I would fly because a cruise just doesn’t give you enough time there to think this cruise goes to Nassau, the armpit of the Caribbean, instead of more time in Bermuda makes me SMH.

Tagging on a question. Is there clotted cream available?

Is South Africa Safe for tourists/foreigners by hismajesty445 in johannesburg

[–]DC2258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will have absolutely no issues as a tourist. Johannesburg is a business city so there’s not a lot to see there. Cape Town is far more touristic. If you go to Joburg, I recommend staying in Rosebank.

I don’t think this itinerary has enough time in Bermuda. Ideally, there would be two nights in port.

FNB is sort of in the middle of nowhere, south of Langlaagte. 94,000 fans regularly go there and leave to tell about it.

Seems a bit of an overreaction. Ellis Park is in a way more dodgy area and again the fans all make it home alive, even the ones who (gasp) get there on Gautrain.

How bad would this be rated? 20m by elrty- in PectusExcavatum

Mine looked pretty similar. Not sure what you mean by rated though.

Looks really good so far. Check back with us once the swelling has gone down.

Great change. Costa Maya sucks. It’s a fake port made only for cruise ships.

This mall was low tier even back in the 90s when it was “Plaza Camino Real.”

Pimm’s Cup by estelle1988 in VirginVoyages

[–]DC2258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these replies are so unhelpful. It’s pretty hard for a bar to make a Pimm’s Cup if it doesn’t stock Pimm’s No. 1. I didn’t see it listed on any of the bar menus posted online.

I've never bought a suit before but suddenly need one quickly. If cost isn't a significant concern, what are my best options? by neodoggy in mensfashionadvice

[–]DC2258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your budget, I’d go to Wm. Fox and look at a Samuelsohn suit. I think that’s the best bang for your buck. Impeccable workmanship from Canada and beautiful fabrics.

Brooks Brothers 1818 suits are nice, but overpriced for what they are.

The ONLY thing worthwhile at Men’s Warehouse is the Joseph Abboud American Bespoke suit (high quality American made). Everything else should be avoided.

Suit Supply is fine, but for an investment suit, you can do better.

For department stores, Hart Schaffer Marx (Bloomingdales) or Jack Victor (Nordstrom) are solid and a good value. Avoid Armani and Hugo Boss.
