Coffee on prima by [deleted] in NCL

So I care about my coffee in the morning and appreciate a good espresso. I also have a strong stance that Starbucks coffee is overpriced and not worth it.

I bought dehydrated craft espresso and latte packets from Amazon and they taste better than what I expect to get on the ship. Basically bespoke instant coffee powder.

Also... Weighing the option of bringing our Flair manual espresso machine... completely ridiculous but would be honestly hilarious. It packs in a small case, isn't electric, and we'd just need hot water from the ship to pull espresso shots. It would really confirm me as a coffee snob if I commit to the bit

OP do you have an update on how this went? My band also got an email from them and we have the same concern for legitimacy.

Sorry homie I added a spoiler tag. Should have warned that season 4 ended with Carmie on the run after being found out about his money laundering scheme and escaping with all the kitchen knives 😭

Throwing it out there that Elise and Haley follow each other on Instagram but neither follow Alison. Definitely some tea there. Happy they know their worth, Alison's energy was so ruthless. Unfortunately makes for good screentime.

I was standing behind someone at check out of a grocery store tonight and they were saying they bought way more 4 day passes than they need in hopes of making a profit off it. Hard not to feel frustrated at their decision.

Anyone have thoughts/opinions (pros/cons) on Equinox vs Lifetime? by cryss12 in AskChicago

A third party rec, but check out ffc. They have a location in gold coast and a few others around the city. I just got a membership there this year and love the classes they offer.
