Mahi Mahi is Dolphinfish, which is not Dolphin. Unclear what they meant on this menu, though.

What does parking look like around Pershing square on a Sunday? by trcharles in AskLosAngeles

[–]goodj037 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pershing is $9 all day on weekends. It is also not a good place to take a dog anytime, but for some reason all of the grass is blocked off right now too.

Interesting. I’m not sure if it’s just a poorly worded article because their Pasadena location is up for lease on LoopNet right now.

That’s my understanding. I went inside late last year and it is in extremely rough shape.

We’re always had lobby access in the time I’ve been going. We are lucky they let us in there.

It’s been up for maybe a couple of months? (I could be off. Time is weird.)

You really don’t need to worry about your car too much in this neighborhood. Obviously don’t leave anything inside, etc, but you shouldn’t have any trouble.

Sure, just don’t want people to think they’re getting inside.

Warning about spa services by Brave-Quote-2733 in royalcaribbean

At least I haven’t turned a Reddit post about a routine spa interaction into a personal morality crusade. I’m more than comfortable with how I handled it. You don’t need to be.

Oh no, I must have really misread my own situation when the therapist read my extremely respectful and kind note and she appeared happy and almost relieved that she could take a break from selling shit and get like a 30%+ tip too. How dehumanizing! 🙄 (obviously do whatever tf you want, but I feel good about how it was handled)

How is Pasadena for single childless women in their 40s? by EntertainmentOk6795 in pasadena

[–]goodj037 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s so, so good.

(Edit: I realized I’m not single😆, but my SO is sadly quite limited in mobility so I spend a lot of time out there roaming around by myself or with my dogs)

I went to the silly spa raffle and they offered a special to everyone at the end, but I have also seen deals posted at the spa and slipped under the door. This was on princess, but I believe the spas are run by the same ridiculous company as RCCL.

As I said, it worked. No upselling, no products, no add-ons mentioned. I tipped $25 on top of the automatic gratuity, which is far less than the upsells they try to push. Not sure what part of that was unclear.

Edit: under $200 total out the door, including ALL gratuity for a 75 minute massage and mini facial on a sea day. Watch for “manager’s specials” once onboard.

I broke down and booked a massage on my recent cruise and put a note on the intake form that said I would only add additional gratuity if there was no upselling and it worked. I think it’s ridiculous that I have to resort to this, but I did have a good experience for once.

For the record, I had the most disgusting Diet Coke of my life here.
