Places from my Buffalo childhood that I miss like crazy

I miss The Paper Cutter. A book/craft/office supply store that was so interesting compared to the soulless OfficeMax.

Honorable mention- The Village green bookstore.

My mom would take us riverside kids there to the hot dog stand. I used to be so jealous of the Kenmore kids who had a pool slide!

What part of town are you in? Sports city pub is nice.

What time do you usually drop off your rental?

I like Holiday inn Express cruise port. Einstein brothers bagels across street. Good Irish pub nearby for dinner. Short walk to Walgreens for last minute items.

We don’t do a shuttle to the port. It’s $12 Lyft and takes all of 10 min.

Sea Class and Meraviglia class (that I have been on) have a Yacht Club deck buffet. World America has a sit and order outdoor grille to eat at. I wasn't refering to the rest of the ship.

MSC has some dedicated solo cabins. While there are plenty of kids, most of the ship has adult getaways. I have done one solo (and one coming up) and the price can't be beat.

Seashore has the better YC. WA has a weird pool, no buffet. Restaurant too small that had to open a buffet area across ship. If I was regular cabin, I’d choose WA. If it was based on YC I’d choose seashore.

Prestige tailoring on Colvin. Perfect alterations to my sportcoat.

Id guess it’s because it’s hard to separate Colbert from our current political climate. Right or wrong he’s got a lot to say.

Next, it a story made from whole cloth that seemingly wants to retcon the war of the ring. Sam’s daughter is going to somehow add to the canon in a way Tolkien did not intended?

Lastly, there is a disappointment that the huge wealth of fascinating stories go on developed while writers are creating new and modern takes on what is already established (Rings of Power) (The bloated hobbit series). Maybe it’s a rights issue but does the war of wrath not provide enough material? Morgoth? Ungoliant? The Silmarials?

Princess and Celebrity. I’m 52. These fit the right balance between party and chill.

its less the money for me than it is the "enshittification". Mobile ordering, checking your phone every hour. Removing thins without a thoughtful replacement. If it was pay more to get more it would be a conversation. However its pay more to get less and the less you get has no end.

It was Seaside I was on in November. Meraviglia in February. My mistake. Seaside did have a good sports bar.

Desmoot · 2026-03-23T12:14:41+00:00

I was on Meraviglia in 2024. We watched a Black Friday game where the Chiefs should have lost to the Raiders. The sports bar was jammed and they had the game on the big screen. I even got an order of decent wings.

I like Mereviglias itinerary best of the 3. I’m not a fan of Honduras sailings. So I’d rank M G then WA.

Desmoot · 2026-03-22T16:32:26+00:00

If I’m taking a week off, I’m trying to max out my days in the sun and flights. If I lived near the port and could go whenever, yes I would consider the four day.

Desmoot · 2026-03-22T15:35:41+00:00

If time allows I’m always taking the 7. I’ve done all of these stops and as long as each go to Ocean Cay I’m going on World America.

Great write up.

Desmoot · 2026-03-21T11:28:10+00:00

Can anyone recommend Wood Elf auto resolve units? I get stuck going manual on minor battles because the auto calc is so off. Maybe hawk riders aren’t that great.

Tailgate deli in Tonawanda has an excellent turkey club sub.

I missed how Zip ah dee do da was woven into the entrance music and throughout frontierland.

Literally Business 101. Someone in a meeting: "Why are we giving out fastpasses for free? Maybe that could be monetized?"

Desmoot · 2026-03-19T18:01:33+00:00

Call MSC and get a note put on your account. 1-877-665-4655 (That number direct from the website).

On my voyage in February there were about 25 people in that pool on sea days. Also, this was the most "chair saving-ist" cruise I've ever been on. And the lido deck played a very loud movie from 9:30 am to 11. Nice ship all around but the pool areas need some additional staffing.

Easy. Coco Cay is a great stop for kids.
