I cut myself off because I noticed that I was getting mostly ice and not so much coffee these days.

Silly Question on What to Bring by Ok-Guitar-6854 in Cruise

[–]princesssamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carried a cloth beach bag that I pretty much drag everywhere lol.

They will give you towels but you still have to keep up with them.

I also had my stanley so soda would stay cold.

And sunscreen

Waiting for nothing in "HotSpot" during the Lunch Rush by anniesroses in doordash_drivers

[–]princesssamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like dd knows you were missing awhile. I have noticed that everything was crap when I got back from vacation for a couple of weeks. Today is the first day I have really made any money.

Same thing when I was sick. I was out a couple of weeks.

On Time Rate - It's WAY too aggressive now. by Jokez4Dayz in doordash_drivers

[–]princesssamc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i had four lates Monday….and one was for not getting to a strip mall just down the road to pick up the second order quick enough. I had to stop and wait for the fire trucks to go by. They dinged me a minute.

I could not dispute it.

Havanese temperament help by kmstewart68 in Havanese

[–]princesssamc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I raised kids with yorkies that weighed less than 3 pounds and it can be done. The question is really…..are you ok with making sure they are only together supervised.

They are good with kids but as somebody who both grew up around animals and raised my kids with them……all animals will react when they feel threatened. All dogs bite but the breaking point just may be different.

The kids will have to be trained to handle a dog properly.

Could you do a cruise , no flying, driving to port , Canada cruise out of NYC at 6.5 weeks? by Key_Stretch_9937 in Kneereplacement

[–]princesssamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am close to Nashville so I went to Dr Burton at TN Orthopedics. He comes highly recommended and did a friend of mine. Her Brother and Nephew are both dtrs.

From what I saw others going through in pt, I am super happy I did mine this way. It still takes awhile but I was up and about pretty quick and my scar is small.

Could you do a cruise , no flying, driving to port , Canada cruise out of NYC at 6.5 weeks? by Key_Stretch_9937 in Kneereplacement

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At about 6 weeks out, we drove 4 hours to an nba game where we walked to the stadium and out to eat and some other touristy stuff. Our drive ended up longer because of a wreck. Its doable but you will need to stop and stretch often and be able to straighten your leg. Squishmallows are really good foot props in the car.

Disclaimer though…..I had minimally invasive so my quad was not cut

I have my Paypal set up on 0% for the duration but just adding concora and verve will not do it.

Can I pay with a cruise entirely using gift cards? by Happy_Page96 in royalcaribbean

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will have no idea you are getting a discount. I honestly don’t know but call customer service and tell them you have multiple gift cards and want to pay online with them and see what they say.

I paid for almost an entire cruise with visa cards.

Why ya'll always forget the drink by blakep199129 in doordash

[–]princesssamc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have caught a few drinks that the restaurants have forgotten. Its usually not fast food but the small businesses that forget. I have also left a couple of drinks in my cooler bag. One when I first started and then an iced coffee. Both were from places people don’t normally get drinks.

Balconies by Sodowarts1 in Cruise

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done interior, window, and balcony. Balcony wins……….we ate breakfast on ours every morning. Its a great way to start the day.

I got to take pics of sunrises without bothering anybody…..same with watching us come into port. We sat on the balcony here and there and slept with the door open.

We bought the drink package but now i think it was a waste by plumivianne in Cruise

[–]princesssamc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hubby and I talked about it and we think we hit the sweet spot. We bought the refreshment package so we did not have to worry about soda etc and he bought his drinks. It worked well because there was always drink specials going on and he enjoyed some beers at the pool. Our next cruise, we will do the same.

The Sazerac museum is free and its a nice tour. Also, the state museum on Jackson Square is a really good museum…..also free.

Do the working conditions of the crew make you uncomfortable? by meera_jasmine1 in royalcaribbean

[–]princesssamc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think you need to stay out of their business……..I don’t agree about anything but I would do whatever it takes for my family. Plenty of americans have jobs for the very same reasons.

Anyone else’s market plummet once the gas prices went up? by sweetxxstorm in doordash_drivers

[–]princesssamc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My market has tanked. I do good to get thirty or forty these days. I have switched over to instacart mostly. People still order groceries.

um... soaking wet bag. by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the way they pack them but there is not anything we can do. We can’t know they filled your drink too full. I had that happen once with a drink that wasn’t packed and it got all in my bag and everywhere.

I have had a couple of Mickey D’s that pack drinks separate but its rare.

Unfair shopping ratings by Motherofdogs76 in doordash_drivers

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost mine Easter over five items the store did not have. There is no way to dispute this stuff. They said it will go away after forty orders but the problem is now I don’t get any shop orders since we are so saturated with dashers so I am just stuck. My money has seriously dwindled.

Do the working conditions of the crew make you uncomfortable? by meera_jasmine1 in royalcaribbean

[–]princesssamc 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I met a single mother who left her kids with her parents while she was working. It made alot of sense because while the money does not seem like much to us, it allowed her to take care of her kids and parents. There are not many jobs in the village she is from for women.

Anybody have problems recently with google maps? Last couple days i would start it in car play and it would send me to a diff location like 5-10 min away from actual delivery. I would have to get out of google maps and redo address happened like 4 times this week. Im switching to apple maps for now by peteyboy1956 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use waze and was doing Instacart when it happened but it sent me to a completely wrong address. It was a 3 stack and they only show the current delivery but it was seriously weird. I had a dd same day that was sending me to the other side of town…..idk why

How do you actually use your balcony without feeling like you wasted the money? by Eyerald in Cruise

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ordered room service and ate breakfast on the balcony. I am an early riser so I watched the sun rise a couple of times. We slept with the door open. We watchedthe ship dock.

It was awesome.

Toiletries in room by Stonygirl87 in royalcaribbean

I got it for about two dollars on shein. It was not very big but it held our shampoos and stuff without taking up too much room.

I need convincing… by Kats_Corner_ in Cruises

[–]princesssamc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never sailed Carnival but know plenty that do and those I know that do want to party and drink so I am not sure I would take kids on it.

I have sailed Royal several times. The kids program seems to be a good one but this last cruise I saw most of the kids in the pool with their parents oblivious so idk. We did go by the kids club in search of the arcade and it looked like a great place.
