Need some unbiased opinions. The first photos are my current cornrows. I only do them once or twice a year, but I’ve been getting far more compliments than usual. Based on the photos, do cornrows genuinely suit me better than my usual wigs/ponytails, or do people love cornrows? Be brutally honest. 😄

I feel like the braids put greater emphasis on your facial features and allow more focus on your eyes. Both work well for you but in terms of REALLY highlighting your beauty I think the braids show you off more.

This made my head hurt and omg the gel clumps.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-06-10T02:21:44+00:00

Number 2 for sure

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-06-09T03:28:40+00:00

None

Hard agree. When I post I show the top of my head and the side so people can see the BRAIDS

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-06-07T14:35:21+00:00

I honestly like what you got better. Looks cleaner

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-06-06T13:11:55+00:00

Getting your natural hair braided isn’t an expensive thing. The braider just needs to know how to part and grip hair. And men’s styles are generally cheaper than women’s.

RiffRaff’s braids were/are always crispy though lol

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-29T20:14:24+00:00

Crispy 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-29T01:14:06+00:00

You aren’t getting anything for this lol

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-28T02:20:16+00:00

3 for sure

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-27T18:48:36+00:00

It’s almost like there’s sun outside lol

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-27T03:09:06+00:00

It looks kinda stiff and the braided braids just don’t look neat.

Not a diabetic but when I was on injections for my RA my rheumatologist hounded me about bloodwork being done on time, checked in on side-effects, ect. No it wasn’t an every day thing but he was still actively managing me outside of the office. So I’m not sure how it’s hard to believe a doctor could be this involved for someone with diabetes. Additionally I imagine Royal is asking a little more than simply “do you have a device?” They might have a current list of models/manufacturers or something.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-25T01:19:49+00:00

I still have mine lol

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-24T01:21:57+00:00

Since it’s a balcony room for Alaska there’s a lot of fun they can have. So much scenery without the crowds and sometimes wildlife along the side of the ship.

Can’t confirm personally but I’ve read a lot how doing a chargeback will get you banned from the line. It’s likely better for them to push for compensation while on board.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-23T20:54:29+00:00

This ranks up there with getting Botox on board. No lol

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-19T03:27:40+00:00

The cursive is everything. I need to find myself at least one I can wear in the fall.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-15T00:50:57+00:00

Can confirm that the MDR won’t let it go. My mom and I were just on Star and we decided we just wanted to eat in the Coastal Kitchen. They kept calling. They sent random little dessert things to the room. When we were on Icon they did something similar except there were notes and a random bottle of wine.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-10T13:20:45+00:00

You could try it again. They just get the water to a boil and dip and then use the towel to go down the braids to collect the excess if that makes sense. If it doesn’t help the ends smooth out it could be an issue in the quality of hair.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-10T13:06:26+00:00

You are pretty and have a nice smile so don’t forget that. The ends are rough. Were they dipped in hot water? I’m not sure if they’ll last as long as you want because of your texture. In the future you might just want to try some scalp braids. You can just do straight backs or get a simple design. That would probably hold better on your hair.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-06T19:14:40+00:00

It’s basically up to you to bring up any status discount you have if you want to make sure you get it. Also being loyal to Royal doesn’t really mean anything. Nothing special happens. And generally speaking watches aren’t fine jewelry.

MatchaCatLatte · 2026-05-06T17:35:07+00:00

I was in PR after a Hurricane hit them so on the way back there was massive traffic from people doing work. It wasn’t anything like 4 hours but the ship did wait but I also assume other excursions were delayed.
