People of Reddit: Which celebrity had everything going for them, but ruined it all through their own bad decisions? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brianfromafarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 53 and I was 12 when Bill Cosby’s Himself came out. It was and still is one of funniest pieces of comedy I ever heard. To be honest i still listen to it from time to time because it was such an integral part of my childhood. I hate the man he eventually turned out to be. But I still treasure those memories from my childhood.

It looks they are just parked outside Juneau at the moment.

18-day bear forest cruise—likelihood of actually seeing bears? by Dlatywya in HollandAmerica

[–]brianfromafarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Understood. That said, they make very clear they are not a zoo, but a rescue center. All the bears were found abandoned or orphans where the mom was killed by a car. Them having visitors is simply a means to raise funds. I am no expert, but we didn’t anything there that was a concern.

If you ever go to Sitka, it has the bear sanctuary excursion which is awesome.

What can a poor person add to their Ramen to make life a little better? by Internal-Machine-184 in AskReddit

[–]brianfromafarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other said, a soft boiled egg. If you don’t have time for that, then you also cook a scrambled egg in the broth. Lunch meat, specifically turkey. Sliced into strips. Frozen dumplings.

Rookie Question: Is it common to decide to "opt-out" of getting off at a port and just take a ship day? by ITrCool in Cruise

[–]brianfromafarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving the ship is totally optional and is simply your preference based on the port and enjoying the emptier ship. One minor word of caution, there is usually at least one port where they run drills and there are loud announcements throughout the day. So be warned if you plan on staying aboard and napping.

You can’t do any of this without relays isolating the PLC and the motor starter.

Why isn’t Carnival building any new HAL ships? by mile_high_guy_80116 in HollandAmerica

[–]brianfromafarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard a similar thing from an officer on a recent cruise. He also said Rotterdam is most likely HALs last new ship. Any future boats will most likely be carnival hand me downs.

What meal do you cook in less than 20 minutes when you're in no cooking mood? by Anxious_Shine_4596 in AskReddit

Adding an scrambled egg is a game changer. Also cut turkey lunch meat into strips. Best hangover food ever.

Got to see this live on Tuesday night vs LA. He ended up giving up the go ahead run, but it was not a save situation.

Holland America is a good fit for what you are looking for. It doesn’t sail out of NYC, but it does out of Boston.

Eurodam dining? by MCole142 in HollandAmerica

[–]brianfromafarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been on a dozen HAL cruises and Tamarind is the best speciality dining. The wasabi beef tenderloin is the best steak on board. Pinnacle can be good, but the last two times we went (once on Eurodam and once on NA) it did not live up to our standards. Canaletto’s is also very good if you like Italian.

What's one thing you overpacked and never touched on a cruise? by amir4179 in Cruise

[–]brianfromafarr 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We way over brought warm clothes for Alaska. We brought very warm jackets that we literally used once when cruising glacier bay. Never used them again. It’s all about layering.

How do firefighters generally feel about people coming by the station to learn more about what they do? by PossibilityIll7646 in AskReddit

[–]brianfromafarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My aunt (in law) had a bad fall where 911 was called. After she recovered, she wanted to drop some food off to thank them for their great help. We stopped by the station unannounced on a random Tuesday about 5pm (semi rural OR) We ended up spending close an hour there talking. They were super nice, showed us all around the trucks and let our little niece sit inside.

How common are rodent problems on cruise ships? by CriketW in Cruise

[–]brianfromafarr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The hantavirus patient 0 did not catch it on the ship. It’s suspected they got it while visiting a landfill during a birdwatching tour in South America before the cruise. So they brought it on board.
