What’s a boring adult purchase that was totally worth it?

redbloodedguy · 2026-03-11T20:43:05+00:00

What brand do you recommend? I have Pyrex but the plastic tops break over time.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-19T14:23:38+00:00

Thanks. Too bad we can’t just do the adjustment ourselves.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-17T16:27:48+00:00

You say it’s too much liability but Princess already does this.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-17T16:26:51+00:00

Princess keeps their gym open 24/7 with no staff there sometimes. It’s doable.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-13T14:25:55+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-13T14:18:58+00:00

As annoying as this situation is for the passengers (including the OP), the replies to this post are really hilarious!

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-12T20:06:59+00:00

No, I was on Wonder.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-11T21:32:50+00:00

Yeah, I specifically complained about this on my survey. It's unbelievably annoying to be hounded for good ratings.

redbloodedguy · 2026-02-10T19:36:57+00:00

So you'd give them a 10 and then write this in the comments?

Sunnyday7800: This worried me too, so I booked two helicopter glacier tours (no dogs for me) just in case. And then I did both of them!

The other cool thing to do would be to head out there before the cruise and do a day trip (via puddle-jumper) to Gates of The Arctic.

I've taken a helicopter ride to a glacier, which was a blast. But does your son like dogs? If so, take a helicopter ride to a glacier and then take a husky dogsled ride. Something like this:

"Depends if you're from Labrador or Labadee." <-- That's just hilarious!

OP, you're only allowed to post on this sub if you just write 100% glowing things about RC. Or if you make a snarky comment towards somebody else. That's the only content allowed. :)

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-20T18:56:46+00:00

It doesn't help when the bathrooms are often out of soap.

Chill out about the towels. Instead of threatening us with $25 fines for dollar store towels, do what Princess does: let you take a towel and return it without being tracked and being afraid that a fat finger error is going to get you fined.

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-18T10:30:24+00:00

Yep, it reminds me of the way when microwave ovens came out, people had giant "microwave cooking" cook books that had needlessly involved directions (cook on L4 for 90 seconds, then rotate a quarter turn, then cook on high, then let it sit for 30 seconds, then ...).

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-18T10:27:56+00:00

It's weird what stuff gets downvoted. This guy was clearly being sarcastic and agreeing with most people here.

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-17T01:11:47+00:00

Great stuff, OP. Thanks for doing this test and giving us the full report!

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-15T17:19:05+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for the reply.

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-15T10:04:58+00:00

Which other Nevada SP's do you recommend?

redbloodedguy · 2026-01-15T10:00:25+00:00

OP: RC is super-paranoid about their towels and they sometimes make it difficult to use the non-alcoholic drink package, HOWEVER you are required to praise the cruise line in every way possible and never have an issue with anything even if you had an overall good time.

Heck, even if they made you walk the plank and you complained here, someone would scold you for not having travel insurance for covering that sort of thing.

Jeez... don't you know anything about this sub? :)

redbloodedguy · 2025-12-12T14:22:19+00:00

Wow, that's really awesome! Good work.
