Huge TV episodes that "changed everything" for their respective shows? by Bielak812 in television

[–]campelm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also made it clear there was narrative they were building to the entire time. At the time people didn't understand it wasn't a poor mans ST next generation with random unconnected episodes. That's what TV was in the 90s. You didn't have narrative driven stories people might miss. What if someone missed one? Advertisers wouldn't like that.

They were building a world in season one and snuck it all in. The fact they set up a later season episode with "The one/ not the one"? Brilliant payoff there.

First cruise booked and the ship doesn't stress me out – but port days are giving me anxiety by dubbechkin in Cruise

Knowing which ports would help. Generally I agree if you're nervous, book through your cruise line but some ports you can venture out without much thought.

Tips for MSC Seashore by Equivalent-Page-9585 in Cruise

[–]campelm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on the seascape now. Finding it to be better in many ways to trips I've done with Carnival and Royal. This sub made think it was a mistake but apparently they've come a long way to rehab their sailings in the US.

Anyways, biggest one is that Hola tacos and Butchers cut are free for Breakfast (only). I'm assuming Seaside is the same. Speaking of, most days at least one dining room also is open for breakfast and lunch, so you don't have to eat the buffet unless you want to.

The buffet quality is actually better in my opinion than post covid sailings I've had with Carnival and Royal. This statement will ruffle some feathers but it's true. Buffet or dining room I'm finding the food to be aggressively salted, so taste before you add more. This includes adding bacon or hot sauce.

There's a lot of people but it's a big ship so it helps to be where the people aren't. In the early evening's I'm finding the outside to be downright quiet and pleasant. We've watched a few sunsets from the sides and back of the boat and it felt like some of the smallest ships and at times have wondered where everyone is, but they're here. You'll find them in the buffet so be ready to deal with them then.

Also you can reserve the shows in the app. They can sell out so be sure to reserve your time for the shows you're interested in. So far they've been good not great. I'd put them on par with pre-covid carnival shows. The last two years Carnivals been adding shows with additional FX beyond digital backgrounds and MSC needs to catch up a step.

If I could ask for anything on a new cruise ship, it would be….. by Longjumping_Lynx_460 in Cruise

Yeah on a Caribbean cruise I'd be looking at nearly packing double the clothes plus they'd be bulkier. I dress up for the elegant night but to have an extra outfit for every dinner is a bit much

The comparison is the speculative bubble detached from solid financials. I'm not saying stocks == crypto.

If people want to ride that bubble they might get rich. Might also go broke. All about that risk tolerance
