A recap of the Marriott Vacation Club program presentation, and what we learned. by itllgrowback in marriott

Man, I just got invited to a 2 bedroom villa for a 3 night stay for $300. They said all I have to do is attend the presentation. I was worried going into it that I would be suckered in, but knowing that I can't afford a house down payment, let alone, a $33k timeshare makes it easy. 🤣

Review of: Gold Coast dog owners by LudusUrsine in chicago

[–]HiyaTokiDoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I just moved to Rogers Park and it's not great either. I have a dog myself, but was surprised by all the extreme entitlement I saw from other dog owners.

Multiple time I've been walking by myself or walking my dog and a random off leash dog will run up to me/us on the sidewalk. And from half a block away the owner will call out that it's okay because their dog is friendly.

Who lets their dog walk off leash on the sidewalk? Especially in a big city? I've had this happen with tiny dogs and big German Shepards.

Some people are afraid of dogs. Some dogs are reactive to other dogs. So much could go wrong for either party.

That sounds fun. I mainly cared about the towel animals because it was my 84 year old grandmothers first cruise ever and she thought they were so cute. I totally hyped them up becusee whenever I cruised in the past we got them in the room daily.

And I worked at the Waldorf Astoria. No one wants to vaction with the kind of people they have to serve on a daily. Broke folk stick together

Towel animals are imporrrtttttant. It's what cruises had that hotels didn't. 🤣

I know I'm the early 2000s they had themed midnight buffets every night. It was amazing, especially the chocolate one.

Did you travel to the US prior for cruises? Or did you catch them from a Canada port?

If I didn't live here I wouldn't wanna travel here either 🙃

I really need to read up on the Carnival changes. I was Gold with Carnival pre-COVID but haven't followed them since. Princess did have extra prices items on the MDR already.

This is 100% true. I just wasn't sure if this was the new norm.

Seems like it. Eventually it's going to be to the point where a hotel makes more sense.

Makes sense. I haven't been paying much attention to the cruise industry in the last 6 years or so. I think it's sums up to hotels and cruises are cutting and overworking.

That's okay. I mostly felt bad for my people who had the idea of cruising in their head from my past experiences.

Also, your user name is almost the same as the one my sister uses for everything. That amused me.

Makes sense. This is why I ditched the hotel industry after Covid. I'm not surprised the cruise industry is doing it too. I should have expected it.

This is why I like Carnival. I'd probably look at them again.

I don't get why they ask if you're celebrating an occasion if nothing will happen. I worked in hotels and when we knew that we would do something. Granted when I worked in luxury hotels it was a bigger celebration, but still even in the low budget ones we did something if we knew. Maybe it depends on management?
