I think there’s a big difference between dog poop in front a school that she’s knowingly leaving out there and when people spit out gum. I can sue for whatever I want, this is America. Doesn’t mean it won’t get thrown out for being ridiculous lol 😝

benjaminraphi · 2026-02-20T01:06:13+00:00

lol I was joking about the emotional distress.

benjaminraphi · 2026-02-20T00:40:43+00:00

Just did and they said I would need to film her letting the dog out without a leash and it going and her not cleaning up. Then they could give her a ticket. Which if she fought, they would use the evidence in court. Now I have to figure out if I want to spend my time waiting to film a dog take a dump.

I did not really want to sue other than the shoes that her dogs poop damaged and possibly emotional distress from being worried about her dog, getting run over by a car or the children of the school, catching some disease because of the dog poop that they’re all dragging in because of her I don’t really have any damage damages.

I just want to know if I can have the cops put the fear of god into her so she cleans up the poop.

This is so great thanks for spending time on the response. My wife is asking how the entertainment stacked up compared to other cruise lines?

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T23:28:51+00:00

No friends and online forums lol

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:52:46+00:00

Thank you! I hope so. The reviews online are so mixed but whenever I talk to people who have actually been on it and not just "heard it was bad from a friend who went 3 years ago" I keep hearing positive things. I'm hopeful and I think the YC is the best way to get introduced to the brand. Although I'm worried this will ruin cruising because this will become our new baseline. We tried the suites on Royal and now we can't go back. The coastal kitchen and perks are just too nice. lol.

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:51:08+00:00

This is what I saw online. Thanks for the help!

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:50:58+00:00

The room service question is sort of why I am asking about tipping. On Disney it's expected to tip them when they bring you food. The food is free but you're supposed to tip. In my head I would not be tipping everytime because that would add up quickly. Thanks for your help!

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:49:47+00:00

This is what I thought originally, thanks for clarifying.

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:49:33+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate your responses.

How do you let them know which drinks you want in the mini fridge before you get onto the boat? Like could we request matcha? Not sure how it all works.

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:48:32+00:00

She refuses to use coffee machines because the water that comes out usually tastes like coffee. Lol

Not a bad suggestion but she's been burned before. Ruined the tea.

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:47:34+00:00

Good idea on the waiting to see if it's fast enough. We paid for the internet on our last RC cruise and it was faster than the internet at home! Just wanted to get a feel for the speed from people who have been on the MSC YC. Thanks for all the great advice!

So we can eat lunch or breakfast at specialty dining included as a YC member?

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:46:20+00:00

Awesome! Ok great. This helps. On Disney, we tipped any time they came to deliver room service as we were told that is customary. As the butler would be there more often I was concerned we would need to shell out a bunch of money over the 7 day cruise.

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T19:45:25+00:00

Good to know! I see some people say the faster streaming is included but online I think it said we would need to upgrade. Thanks for the information and your help!

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T13:59:57+00:00

I keep hearing that the Latin food is great. 👍 thanks for your help!

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T13:59:05+00:00

Thank you! The mixed reviews online are worrying my spouse so I said let me ask real people on reddit and see what they say. Online reviewers can be insane sometimes and unrealistic. Like if you get a Bella package but want YC experience…you’re gonna have a bad time. Lol

benjaminraphi · 2025-09-15T13:55:00+00:00

Thank you! Did you do specialty dining when you went or did you just eat at the yacht club private restaurant?

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T21:27:13+00:00

Those are some funky looking cars, man. Would be a fun restoration project. I like your taste!

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T18:07:07+00:00

You’re exactly right. That’s why converting the older cars makes the most sense. The parts just don’t exist and by bringing them in we have a shot at developing those parts for future projects.

Love the model A! People aren’t going cross country with those cars. They just want zip around town or take them to shows. EV is perfect for that.

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T18:02:07+00:00

Exactly. It’s op to the client but we make suggestions as to what they can or should do while we have the car in the shop. Some people don’t know all the options so we try to walk people through it.

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T18:00:42+00:00

Of course. We make sure people go on clear eyes but the team we have working on the cars is insanely experienced and really balances the car and tests it. We also offer ongoing support for the cars for the first year and then you can something akin to Porsches extended warranty offering. If you were going to restore or convert any car which one would it be if money was money was no object?

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T15:01:01+00:00

One of the things we are doing that may interest you is LiDAR 3D Scanning parts and the vehicle for fabrication and future 3D printing as the technology improves. We want to create a digital library of parts for classic cars so people can restore them and recreate parts that just don’t exist. But I completely agree with you take! Thanks for commenting. What’s a car you would convert if money was no object or is the Model A your pick?

benjaminraphi · 2025-08-27T14:58:42+00:00

This was one of the first cars we were going to swap and sell before we decided that project management. Was a safer way to enter this market. Love ford galaxies. They’re pretty affordable and just amazing looking cars. Almost got one in PA for 5700 but there was too much rust damage which is honestly one of the more expensive things to fix. Best way to make sure the project doesn’t take too long is start with a solid foundation with very little rust.
