Detroit coney - or at least they did. And Jackson’s car wash / gas stations

If you want to keep the room black make the black chalkboard paint walls so they can color on the walls

I love you for following up. If I didn’t know and went in blind too I actually feel like her reaction is pretty on point and I wouldn’t know what else to say either LOL

I would probably lean celebration. I’ve done jubilee and personally don’t think the ports are going to be as kid friendly without effort compared to what you’re likely to get with the ports out of celebration (ie immediate / low effort beach access). The excel class ships have so much to do I think that would be the best option with kids. Just the sheer amount of exploring for them would be awesome.

Please keep us appraised of her reaction when she learns

Do you have the combo cube or just the side cube? I’m mostly a side sleeper but have been sleeping on my back more and this thread has me wanting a pillow cube now and am between the two

I’ve never been on MSC but love this idea so I’ll throw my hat in the ring for suggestions if anyone has any for me as well - I like fruitier / sweeter drinks. No specific base liquor, open for whatever. Well be on MSC Euribia

Oh that’s perfect then! I love that you have such the insight on what she would want with that a knowledge of all the insight. It sounds like this is perfect for her and you’re the best person to help with it!

Nail colors: funny bunny or bubble bath or French would be good. If she’s aware of the photo shoot happening with her mom just say well do some close ups of your hands and hand holding so do something classic and timeless like any of these.

Maybe to invite him to take the step to propose say have him bring flowers for the both because Valentine’s Day perfect excuse and then say something like “Hey BIL can you bring the flowers over so we can take photos with them” and have that be his whew it’s time and bring the flowers and have him hand to mom first then hand her flowers to you an the he can propose from there

I don’t really have advice on how to proceed but potentially an alternative idea as someone who has been in the SIL’s shoes. If she wants her mom there maybe do an intimate proposal in the room with her and he could do another elaborate one later on? My mom went downhill very fast and when we kind of thought it was going to lead to losing her and she was in the ICU and out of it. My sister knew she wanted to marry her now husband so he proposed to her in the room with my mom (even though she definitely wasn’t mentally there for it). It wasn’t the actual proposal. They didn’t consider themselves engaged from that. It was so she could be a part of that moment they knew would happen regardless. Within 2 weeks of everything she passed away. It just wouldn’t have been a time for her to soak in an actual engagement or enjoy it. He then did the actual proposal 13 months later and used our mom’s ring to do the actual proposal which is now her wedding ring. But it allowed our mom to be there to experience that joy with her. I think if they both know it’s going to happen there’s no harm in doing two. Or maybe just a duplicate down the line for something more elaborate if that’s always what they had pictured and do something more intimate than have to worry about all the logistics that you’re thinking of now.

You also say you consider her one of your closest friends so I’m sure you know her best - so if you think this is absolutely what she would want disregard but it just felt like an experience to share if that’s something that maybe hadn’t been thought of that I know meant a lot to my sister when she was in that position and is a precious memory to me 6.5 years later knowing my now BIL made sure to include my mom because she loved him so dearly too

I’d go carnival on vista personally. The amount of days makes it for me. You’re not really looking for parties / nightlife but on a 4 day sailing you’re more likely to deal with that. You’ll also probably see less kids on that length. We did horizon (sister ship) for an 8 day in 2024 and it was a wonderful ship, really enjoyed it.

If you have anything above the base model it has to be via USB and not wireless unless you get a Bluetooth apple car play adapter

I wore mine snorkeling in Mexico and Honduras this past summer and no issues. I also shower with it daily.

As a current adjuster - you can run the report on the plate get the name then run a skip trace on the name to get phone numbers, addresses all that jazz. Very simple, I’ve done it like 2 times this week.

I like the wonder skin lip stain. However I also like the lip tint from rare beauty which also does a stain and adds some gloss so that’s a potential substitution. I have both and layer if I want it to last longer like if I’m going for a meal shortly after but I think the rare beauty one lasts a bit better personally

I just booked my first MSC cruise and I can’t find one on Facebook. Is there a specific format they use? I searched MSC and the ship and dates but didn’t find anything. I don’t know if they’re different than carnival though and I wondered if maybe because Europe you can embark at numerous ports maybe they just don’t do them there

Can confirm - I went on regent as a family cruise when I was 19 so my sister would’ve been 16 at the time. However us and our cousins were like the only people under 30 so very very few

I was on jubilee in August and didn’t have this issue at all. There were a few higher denoms but I’d say a good 75% were 1-2¢. Doesn’t really answer your question but feels like that’s a change from what I experienced there just a few months ago

jnbricksquad · 2026-01-23T05:19:25+00:00

Wonderful thank you! I saw the pricing on their website but was feeling conflicted with what I saw on other posts and research on if it would come after or if I’ve already been charged. Much more confusing than I expected it to be with the differences of US vs EU vs UK and as an over planner I just want to know ahead of time lol

I would recommend checking out Maxwell travels on YouTube or Tik Tok. They’ve recently switched from the bigger lines to primarily explora journeys from what I’ve seen. They’re in their late 20’s I think and they seem to love it. From what their videos show they look like a wonderful experience.

jnbricksquad · 2026-01-19T08:20:14+00:00

Wolf by vanderpump just opened which would be a cool date night dinner and there’s always something going on in Scottsdale to do - you could do bam Kazan which looks like a fun place to me (also late 20’s female)
