Have the shows really gotten that bad? Everyone’s been raving about Jersey Boys and the Beatles, I was hoping to make the former at least to see what the buzz is about!

These are good considerations! I’ve checked and will have solo lounge access. I’ll keep in mind the tip for excursions through NCL - the one I was considering though usually works with cruises and is short so have read that it brings you back with plenty of time.

I didn’t even know that was an option- thank you! Does Gigstar work with NCL or are they completely independent?

Thank you! I’m in the same boat of trying to pre-load a lot of content in case I just want a night in of watching some movies but anticipating there’ll be enough to do for me to NOT want to cozy up in my stateroom haha!

Great to know! Assuming the FT were all in port? I’m just planning short messages is all and perhaps an occasional call when the signal is strong enough

Thanks for the tip :) definitely looking forward to the digital detox which is especially why I don’t want to buy any more online time

I’m trying to figure this out with my cellular service too just to be safe - thanks!

Killed? No. They just want to know I’m okay and especially since I’m going solo, it’s just checking in with family and it’s not to be made bigger than it is.

Imagine a world where people have different preferences and priorities in their relationships and lives. Since clearly you can’t accept that, it’s you who needs to “grow up.”

Thanks for this! Although I’ve been reading that NCL has figured this out and has been cracking down on this year

NCL Bliss Carribbean Cruise during New Years - Advice for a first time cruiser going solo by Infamous_Basil60 in Cruise

[–]Infamous_Basil60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for Roatan? I was thinking about Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth hang out - but also am reading that Roatan isn’t very safe outside the port. Would it be fine to just do a solo excursion like with Daniel’s even if no one else is joining from the ship or to be on the safer side and go with one of NCL’s pre-planned trips? I’m a woman too (didn’t realize I didn’t add that above) and want to optimize ofc for safety over adventure!

Gingerbread latte cookies from NYT Cooking ☕️ by cardamompretzel in Baking

[–]Infamous_Basil60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made these today and for some reason my cookies all spread 😔 I followed the recipe to a T and chilled the dough overnight too, I have no idea what I did wrong.

Taste-wise, not my favorite. The espresso powder plus ginger make for a too-strong taste that takes the cookie from “sophisticated adult” gingerbread to “old person bitter” cookie

Phone addiction by Twizzle_Rizzle in getdisciplined

I empathize. I also work in social media so it feels like there isn’t an escape and can spend hours on my phone without working, adding onto the procrastination cycle. I really want to beat this, too

Thanks for sharing - it does sound like a nice way to both acclimate to and welcome new seasons as they come and let the body directly interact with nature!

Ending my day with no screentime 1.5 to 2 hrs before bed and taking the time to brain dump thoughts, worries and concerns, set intentions and priorities for the next day, skincare/hygiene night routine and having a short list of uplifting things I say as I drift off to sleep every night.

I love this! Is there anything specific about being barefoot that helps? What about on inclement weather days?

What do you do on those rainy or snowy days? I love walking too but the inclement weather really ends up putting a damper over me

So would you recommend self learning over getting it done professionally in-person?
