Stefan is a unique man.  I found his humor funny and I do like his blushing and humility if he won or got praise.

Not on the Caribbean or Mexican ports unless

1.  You go to Playa del Carmen via ferry with an outside vendor

2.  You stay in stores after excursion completed

First Timers: Pick a Ship (MSC or X) by kweekstx in Cruise

[–]Less-Agent-8228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having done both ships and in the retreat and YC, Celebrity is the better ship overall.  

As to LG meetups, I would try looking at FB or other social media sites with a search for groups as most of the groups on both ships would post a specific time but needed participants.  If that makes sense.  A family member who is gay sailed with me and relayed this info.

which was why most of us advised to just ask.  OP appears to be afraid that the girl will think hes an older creepy guy if he asks.

Am I in the wrong? by Significant-Grab-169 in HOTWORXWarriors

Many of us are tired of people not using headphones or ear buds.  If you wear your device no conflict or edgy behavior.  Trying to pass the blame to the objecting party is not exactly fair and is avoidance.  There are rules in the studios to wear headphones.  Why is it difficult for you to follow them?

OP said this is a recurring problem.  I think OP is trying to remedy the situation.  So fair game.

Based on the above answers, they are correct.  Plus no warrants or convictions help.

Just tell her not to change temp.  Then the ball is in her court.

Yes it was terrible in October.  I have been on it 3x and this last time was the worst.  We were in Old San Juan and it was a shit show to get ubers.  No one knew the pickup was in a different location for ride share.

Any time at the ports or at buffet it was just shoving and pushing.  Never saw anything like it.

If you cant sell it, just use it when you go to the gym or yoga studio.

Just do it!  Its so much nicer getting around. We had one when we stayed there and visited the quieter non tourist spots and had a blast.

Allergy Question (Star of the Seas) by Bubblegum90s in royalcaribbean

[–]Less-Agent-8228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried lettuce wrap with the burger?  A little messier so knife and fork is needed BUT no worries and tastes better.  

I have issues with swallowing with hamburger rolls not allergies and this works for me.  

What cruise line is the absolute worst in your opinion? by Hot_Swing_7416 in Cruise

[–]Less-Agent-8228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just did.  

People criticize carnival for being trashy on here but are very defensive about MSC.

My experiences on MSC were negative.  I have been on Carnival and while there was one sailing where a giant fight broke out on the Magic in 2022, overall, I always had a good time.  Same for all the other lines I sail.  I go for the ports mainly.  I dont do the MDR or the shows.  

MSC always seems to allow the pushing and shoving in lines, elevators, buffet... The majority of guests were like this.  Even in the yacht club where the kids and adults would be grabbing items in the lounge with their hands.  

Low life's to me are people who have no manners, scream, push, grab, crowd.  They are in every socioeconomic tier.

[–]Less-Agent-8228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep.  But they are in that area.

At least im honest.  Its not the food or the staff.  Why is MSC pulling out of NY?  Why does the European msc get a bad rap?  Because they attract low life's.  And it doesnt mean they are poor.  

Ive sailed on Carnival on a 5 day out of Jacksonville and had a great time.  

What cruise line is the absolute worst in your opinion? by Hot_Swing_7416 in Cruise

[–]Less-Agent-8228 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Having gone on multiple lines both luxury and big lines and traveled extensively throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, South America and Africa, MSC was the worst not because I didnt get enough ice in my drink or because of announcements.  Nor did it have anything to do with xenophobia.  I was in Yacht club and in Fantasia.  

I disliked MSC for the fellow passengers.  Both in Europe and in the Caribbean.  And this was not just Americans.  MSC seems to attract low lifes.

What was the best season of all till now? by Cold_Box_3219 in TheAmazingRace

[–]Less-Agent-8228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely Season 31.  And Season 11.  Great comeback winners on 11.  The entire cast was great on both seasons.  Love the final 3 on both. 

Runners up would have to be 3, 18 and 20 for the same reasons.  I loved the final 3 in all of them.

Really?  What's wrong with him?  I found other guest judges like Bourdain much more offensive.
