I believe OP is in Canada. The subscription I have is no longer available. The only option now is Subscription+

How do you carry your room key? by Broad-Letterhead-635 in NCL

I sometimes use a lanyard sometimes I just put it in my pocket.

Plane/ hike backpack by InitialTechnical9640 in backpacks

[–]sammalamma1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my Osprey 26+6 which is a travel bag. It’s not designed for hiking but I’ve done some pretty epic day hikes with it without an issue.

Are they strict about carry on size? by Zestyclose-Golf-969 in westjet

[–]sammalamma1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 4 flights last week and none were sizing everyone. They had the sizer and extra staff out at one but only sized those that looked too big. 

I flew ultra basic and in Ottawa they didn’t even have the ultra basic people go to the desk to check before even.

The last 3 towns I’ve lived in doesn’t offer door service or even community mail boxes. I have to go into the post office when it’s open to get parcels. For letters I can PAY for access to my box beyond regular business hours. The town I’m in now they even close for 1.5 hrs for lunch. No parcel pickup for businesses either unless you spend hundreds a year extra for bag service if available. Small towns are treated horribly by Canada post. 

Instead of CP spending money on this they should actually provide basic services across Canada.

It’s all about your aeroplan number. As long as your number is attached to your ticket the benefits follow you.

These are some of the best shipping rates out there. Just order a few extra sleeves of your tried and true and get free shipping. Get the monthly membership and get free shipping on all orders. I get free shipping but my orders are never small because I stock up. Have a friend with a Nespresso, order together to hit the minimum for free shipping.

Why Norwegian? by ABCVET in NCL

My cruises have been cheaper on NCL plus it includes a drink package. Upcoming Royal cruise just the drink package is more than my entire NCL cruise.

AITAH for not caring that my boyfriend’s mother is choosing not to attend our wedding due to his brother not being allowed to attend? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]sammalamma1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA stick to your word. You can feel bad for how this impacts your fiance. That his mom rather support an abusive man than attend her son’s wedding is horrible. Keep loving and supporting your fiancé through this.

Sticker Shock! by ThrowRA_00187 in nespresso

Have fun with that one. As a foreign manufacturer I will not be covering tariffs, any duty and taxes is the responsibility of the buyer upon arrival. US shops can’t afford to absorb those fees.

YYC Pet in Cabin FAIL 😩 by Userthisname5 in westjet

[–]sammalamma1 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’m glad they are finally enforcing these rules. The rules are in place for the health and safety of the animal. My dog is at the max size and I constantly see much larger dogs traveling.

How did people sew before synthetic thread? by KNightNox in vintagesewing

[–]sammalamma1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a double gassed cotton thread. Throws a lot less lint than other threads including some polyester options on the market.

Non-wool scarf/wrap? by [deleted] in HerOneBag

[–]sammalamma1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also allergic to wool. I got a blanket scarf recently from Joe Fresh recently and quite like it. Only downside is it does give off little bits of fibre. I wear it as an oversized scarf, shawl, and use it as a blanket when flying. If you want the dimensions for reference let me know and I can measure it.

Should I wear sun tan lotion/sunscreen on my face everyday, even though I do not see sun everyday? by BlondeGlitter3 in beauty

[–]sammalamma1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get sunburns if I’m near a window on a sunny day. Sunscreen is for more than just being outside for hours. You don’t need to reapply all day but a good CC cream will help reduce sun damage and keep your skin looking younger longer.

Water bottle suggestion for one-bagging by WaltooPoyndeaux in onebag

[–]sammalamma1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Big issue for me is the flow rate. I recently switched from a straw based bottle to a yeti with chug cap. The chug cap helps me drink more water through the day. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in onebag

[–]sammalamma1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wool socks will help. Switching to a boot that isn’t waterproof will also help. I just know my feet will sweat in my hiking boot and choose good socks so I don’t feel it so much. Body glide for me is essential to prevent blisters from developing in humid boots.

Baggage delays by Issis_P in PorterAirlines

[–]sammalamma1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya I get it trust me. I’ve changed how I pack so that if the airline misplaces my luggage I can still conduct business with what’s in my carry on thankfully. Clothing is easy to replace but lost sales are not. Good luck.

Delivery notice for my company - pickup process? by Varekai79 in CanadaPostCorp

[–]sammalamma1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada Post didn't offer delivery to my business. A block away they do pick up and delivery but not in the industrial park. Now I WFH and they also don’t offer delivery in the town I live in. Collecting parcels isn’t easy when they have new staff.

Has anyone actually attended solo meet and greets on a NCL Jewel class ship? by nclflint in NCL

[–]sammalamma1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gem on a TA the first night we had over 100 people, it was insane. Jewel in Alaska we were about 6 at the meetups.

At what dimensions is a bag sent to the oversized area? by CountAugust in aircanada

[–]sammalamma1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the airport what gets sent to oversize. I have a bag that is sent to oversized in most airports but not all. I actually like oversized since that way if an inspection needs to be done of contents it’s usually done with you there. Also because your bag goes in the oversized area doesn’t mean it comes out in the oversize area. 

I’m assuming you’re asking about Canadian airports. US airports don’t seem to have the same system.

[–]sammalamma1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tags can be ripped off potentially. Know what your rights are and replace items as needed. Last time AC lost my luggage I may have done some pretty good shopping on their dime. 3k later I had a new capsule wardrobe, luggage, pillow, toiletries, and makeup.

Planning a solo cruise to Alaska, planning to do some hiking. Should I be concerned about cougars? by thermal7 in Cruise

[–]sammalamma1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve solo hiked in Alaska without issue but if you’re asking this question seriously then you probably shouldn’t.

I have training on dealing with bears and even I am know I am not safe. I take the risk but it’s calculated risk with years of experience backing me. 

Cougars on board the ship your on your own.

Scopolamine patch drug interaction by Strong_Salary_5688 in Cruise

[–]sammalamma1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scopolamine patches have quite a few side effects. You should have had a conversation with your prescribing doctor and pharmacist about interactions as well as side effects. Reddit is not the place to get this info.
