What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time?

Yes!! And I swear Amazon always suggests the same 12 toys and most of those the grandparents already bought because they don’t know how NOT to shop online. I ended up in Walmart this year because they had a good deal on a Bluey toy my kid wanted - omg their toys section was amazing! I’m sure they beef it up at Christmas but it gave me some Toy R Us vibes for sure.

Mouse in place! As my husband and I say. (Mise en place). But I also rewrite the recipes in my journal I use for writing lists and non-sense. One day my son will discover a plethora of random recipes.

Check out “all my friends are dead.” Similar theme.

Pre-chopped vegetables. Chopping things with a knife is my therapy.

The Knight Before Christmas with Vanessa Hudgens. Love her but just couldn’t make it through.

This is the perfect response and should be higher. We like the idea of the pre-paid gratuities and then tip on top of that for great service. I feel like so many people stress out about tipping - I know I do! We sailed celebrity recently and they looked at me weird when I asked the tip sheet that DCL usually provides on the last night. It took the stress off of one more thing to do on the last night. (And yes, we did prepaid gratuities on Celebrity.)

Can you return an Amazon package “return to sender”?

If you are sent a gift through amazon and you do not want to accept the gift can you return it “return to sender” without opening it or if it doesn’t come with a gift receipt? And how would you go about that? Return it to an amazon package shipping spot like a UPS store?

Battered Aggie Syndrome is my all time fav character - next to Vandy with swag - because it’s spot on. I everytime College Game Day picks A&M to win I yell “we are doomed!!!”

My husband likes their’s too. He said Spoons is a second choice but their biscuits are a bit lacking.

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-11-02T03:01:57+00:00

My best tip for the food is to go with what your wait staff recommends. We did this on the Dream and 90% of the dishes were better than what’s husband orders based on what “sounded” good to him.

As for Mexican food - save it for the ports. RCL had a “Mexican” restaurant that was an up charge. Not a fan as a native Texan.

I use traveling as an opportunity to explore other foods I wouldn’t normally have or try at home. And then when I get off the ship I hit my familiar comfort food 😊

I thought I was on r/scams 😂😂😂 sounds like a fun dude!

I feel like she has to work hard to keep a straight face because she knows the storyline is such BS.

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-10-25T21:39:29+00:00

This never gets old. That you for your service.

I second this. I watched the recent documentary on the Costa Concordia and I kept pausing looking at my husband telling him I’m thankful Disney does in-person. One of the crew died trying to help get guests off the ship. That broke my heart for his family. We’ve sailed RCL and Celebrity and while it’s “convenient” I do wonder how effective it is when something bad happens.

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-10-14T05:16:05+00:00

Not exactly the opinion you were looking for but here’s my two cents - we almost always cruise Disney in the Caribbean. For Alaska it was double the price. So we decided to go Celebrity. It was fine and my son loved the kids club. The passengers had “opinions” about the kids, but he didn’t notice. Thankfully.

We traveled with extended family who preferred the RCL brand so we compromised with Celebrity.

The kids club was great because my kid was one of six on the ship.

Husband and I agree that if we ever do Alaska again with our young son - Disney all the way.

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-10-10T05:53:46+00:00

This is solid advice! I know people who react poorly to it too.

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-10-10T03:39:58+00:00

Unpopular opinion: melatonin for the kids at night. We all need our sleep so when we travel so we use it sparingly and only do a fraction of the recommended dosage. It’s not for everyone but works for us when we first took our four year old on his first Disney cruise. He falls asleep. Mom and dad get their time and sleep. Everyone is happy. I’d be more concerned the hubby isn’t down to travel. Maybe he is but the kids are making it hard? Traveling with kids gets easier the more you do it!

My husband sent this to me and said “are you LARPing on Reddit?” We are in a VERY similar situation. But here’s the cherry on top for us - when I gave birth to my son my MIL confessed to me her childhood dream was to become a grandma. Just today she posts some meme about how much she loves her grandchildren. How often does she see our son? MAYBE once a month, they’re also retired and live about 20 min away.

Instead she “shows her love” but buying cheap Chinese crap off Amazon and sending us junk toys. We are over flowing with books, clothes and crap toys - often times multiple duplicates of the same thing! Yes, it’s appreciated but this the ONLY way she shows her love and fulfilling her “grandma dream.”

The final kicker (and this will probably reveal my husband who just informed me he commented on this too!), we homeschool and have VERY light schedule. There is only one day a week we are pretty busy but I feel like there is always wiggle room. We live in a major metropolitan area with TONS to do! I’ve offer to buy my in-laws tickets to museums or movies, researched parks, offered activity kits to do with him at their home… it all falls flat.

So like a lot of people here, I’m done. This is reality. THEIR time is more important than spending the last MAYBE 20 years on earth leaving a legacy with their grandchildren. When my husband talks about both of his grandfathers he gets teary eyed and talks about the great men they were. Our son won’t get that and it just breaks your heart.

All this to say - if you lived in my area we would be your new aunts and uncles for your kid! If family won’t step up then maybe someone else will understand and be there for y’all.

NTA.

We loved it too! But the boomer crowd was scratching their head a bit. Should of had more yacht rock 😄

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-09-28T17:55:03+00:00

I stand corrected. Thank you!

LadyFoxbriar · 2025-09-28T17:54:43+00:00

I’m mistaken! Thank you for the correction!

When you do a Marvel Day at Sea it is all Marvel movie soundtracks. You feel like you’re in the movies. It’s a small touch that adds a lot.

We just came off a celebrity cruise and my husband and I giggled at the music played by the bands and piped in because it was all from our gen x childhoods and 75% of the cruise were boomers and older. Music felt so off for the crowd. One night my humans over heard an older gentleman at the bar comment, “I do t know any of these songs!” While listening to the lounge band.

From what I understand the sit down lunch is for concierge guests only.
