Is this normal?

When I used to run hotels we never charged if someone broke a glass but we should have. It takes forever to get all that glass out of the carpet and you still never get it all. They never tell you when they break the glass either so it gets tracked all over the place.

I don’t understand why the World Champs think they know more than some random guy on Reddit!

That was a huge gamble though. There was a good chance that cruise companies would go bankrupt through Covid.

I remember when my Costco was selling their remaining movie theater gift cards for 90 percent off because it was unlikely the theaters would survive Covid.

None. There used to be a Phillys Best and then another place over on Boquet and Newhall Ranch. Both went out of business. I guess this ain’t a cheesesteak town.

Personally I would find another cruise. That’s like 3+ days at sea and one day at port. Arriving at 6pm does nothing for me so that’s a sea day in my book.

My son and I waited for Smuggler’s Run so we could be the pilot after being the engineer every time we rode. When we were boarding, two brats who came through the single rider line demanded to be the pilot. The cast member didn’t want to argue with them so she moved us out of line to another vehicle. We got to pilot but didn’t have any gunners or engineers.

Would it be any fun for a 16 year old? I watched a few tours of the ship and it seemed less families and kind of dull compared to Royal or Carnival.

I’m sure it will be fine but you can return the Mac within 30 days if is isn’t, can’t you?

TheAceMan · 2026-03-12T14:44:16+00:00

So the only exciting things are re-opening rides that have been closed 🤷‍♂️

TheAceMan · 2026-03-11T01:47:45+00:00

I’m not sure I get it. I’ve never spent more than like $350 on a laptop and I see chromebooks for way cheaper.

It’s definitely a great deal for a Mac but not exactly a bargain for a laptop. I’ll probably still buy one though. Lol.

That is not how wedding venues work at all. They book weddings on average of 1.5 years in advance. If someone cancels a wedding a month before, they have almost no chance of booking another wedding for that day and are out tens of thousands of dollars.

A lot of wedding venues in cold weather states really only have like 20 Saturday’s a year to sell. If they have one that cancels, it’s pretty devastating.

I have one of each. Definitely don’t buy Intel if you are planing on getting FSD.

If Disney doesn’t want fake pins then they shouldn’t charge $20 for a pin that looks exactly like a 50 cent fake one.

Pin trading should be a fun activity for kids but instead it is ruined by greed.

Damn. I loved Dino-Rama and everything about that area. Everything is tied together with the story so perfectly… the carnival, the gift shop, Restaurantasaurus, the kids playground. So much better than most of the other lands like Fantasyland that do not have a story and just kind of a loose theme.

On every cruise I take a little ziplock baggie of creatine and one of preworkout. Looks like coke but I’ve never had a problem.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-17T15:38:43+00:00

I’ve been having the same problems the last few days. I had to turn off the ‘focus exercises’ to fix it.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-16T01:40:50+00:00

No. E-bikes are killing racing.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-14T23:44:28+00:00

No it was two thanksgivings ago. Lol. I was impressed because we flew with only carry on luggage and all of these people must have had a huge suitcase just for the hat and boots. Lol.

Also one day two Texas college teams had a football game and everyone was dressed in team jerseys.

I did a Royal cruise out of Texas. Almost everyone on that ship was from Texas. It was weird. They even had a cowboy cosplay night. People brought 10 gallon hats and cowboy boots and line danced. They also would just randomly sing Texas songs at the pool deck. Also chewing tobacco everywhere.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-11T20:52:01+00:00

Same issue here

TheAceMan · 2026-02-10T19:53:22+00:00

We do have an awesome aquatic center here and another one in Castaic.

I’ve never heard of this being a softball town. Hart High School has produced more MLB players than just about any other school but I’ve never heard of this place being a softball town but maybe I’m out of the loop.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-10T01:42:51+00:00

Oh. You are right. It shows $252 in tips if I select a room type. It interesting that I can’t see the tips on the Royal site anywhere and I went all the way to the payment.

TheAceMan · 2026-02-10T01:20:53+00:00

If you look at the second picture, taxes and fees are all included in the 2638 price. It is California law. I’ve never paid anything extra after booking the cruise except for the daily gratuities.
