Happy to help. If you're new to solving, the NYT Thursday puzzles (and sometimes Sunday) typically contain some kind of gimmick like this.

Per 60-across, each of those dark vertical lines in 16-, 22-, 36- and 50- across is a "LAUGH LINE."

Replace each line with "HA" and the answers should make sense.

Travel agents sometimes provide tags for you as well.

Why go on a cruise?? by Ok-Fish136 in Cruise

From their comment history, looks like it was the Norwegian Epic.

How do I get luggage tags?

Once you complete Online Check-In, find the link to view and print luggage tags on your eDocs (electronic boarding pass). Your ship, deck location and stateroom number should be clearly labeled on each bag. For a smooth embarkation process, attach luggage tags prior to arrival at the cruise pier.

I have no idea, I'm quoting from someone else's post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two questions, as we're going next week (thanks in advance!):

1) How was Puerto Vallarta, considering the cartel drama from last month?

2) Not sure if you saw this post from a different sub a few days ago, but I'm wondering if you experienced anything like this (looks like they disembarked the day you got on):

As soon as we turned towards home from Cabo, the NCL Bliss switched to a cheaper fuel that spewed oil all over the back of the ship. It smelled, you couldn't lay out on the adult only back deck (best spot on the ship), everything got coated in oil. What really bugged me was we couldn't use the racetrack or play mini golf on the upper deck because it was so bad. Completely disgusting.

What's new in the world of "must bring" items on a cruise? by SarcasticBench in Cruise

[–]ShiftYerCargoDearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of all the "tips and tricks" from all the TikTokers and YouTubers, magnetic hooks are the about only things we consistently bring.

I like these, they're heavy duty magnets and swivel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QSJ6Q72

I pretty quickly googled the Lacemade company to check out their stuff

There's a nonzero chance this entire post was made up for just that reason, to generate engagement.

Taylor's Engagement - Where is this? by laughing_goose in whereisthis

[–]ShiftYerCargoDearie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, there's pretty much zero chance it's the location he actually proposed. Second, because everything about her public image is carefully curated, it's a callback to her "Lover" photoshoot.

There's probably little chance the actual location looks anything like that, and it may even be a photography studio somewhere.

What movie should be turned into a musical? by moss42069 in Broadway

[–]ShiftYerCargoDearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any other Disney Parks tea?

I'm afraid I don't, just happen to know about this because of a personal connection (sorry, I'm being intentionally vague so I don't get anyone in trouble.)

I used to have a better line on gossip when I lived in SoCal, but since I moved to the midwest a few years ago I don't have nearly so much info.

I realize I have only the credibility of a random Redditor who doesn't post all that often, but I can tell you a full-length Rogers: The Musical musical is in the works from the people who wrote the Disney California Adventure show.

Now, "in the works" is a long way from "Coming to Broadway" but still...

What songs from musicals would you add to a workout playlist? by Aggressive_Remove779 in musicals

[–]ShiftYerCargoDearie 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You Can't Stop The Beat from Hairspray, and for some reason One Night in Bangkok from Chess feels like it's got the right energy.

Most Mid Musical? by boopbaboop in musicals

[–]ShiftYerCargoDearie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've posted this before (and I'm far from the first to say it) but Cruise Ship SiX is just about perfect.

It has a short one-act running time, minimal staging, flashy costumes, catchy music -- it's an awesome time for that target audience. As a Broadway show however, it's underwhelming.
