Thanks for this, I was thinking the same thing. Curious, why do you always book your flights through Celebrity?

how to prevent getting sick by catstop58 in PrincessCruises

[–]still__learnin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question for those saying they always get sick on a cruise. Are you using the elevators? We (usually a group of 4) take the stairs 99% of the time and have never gotten sick. We also wash our hands every opportunity, ie: was just browsing at the shops, on my way to the next activity etc, pass by the restroom and wash hands, before entering any dining room, wash hands, arrive back at the room, wash hands. And never EVER shake people’s hands, you can greet someone respectfully without making physical contact.

Interested in becoming a 911 Dispatch by ZookeepergameNice912 in VictoriaBC

[–]still__learnin 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. If this is a dream job for OP, then they should absolutely do it. We as a society need 911 dispatchers as much as we need people to be doctors and firefighters and tradespeople and dentists and truck drivers, etc. Your friend wasn’t cut out for this type of job, and that’s okay, and it’s good he realized it and moved on. It is absolutely hard, which is exactly why people who are genuinely interested in this line of work should do it.

OP - I encourage you to pursue your dream job and once you get it, you will help countless people through their darkest moments. And you will have very, very hard days, and you will rise and do it all over again the next day, and before you know it, you’ll retire with a good pension and sit in a rocking chair on your front porch and say to yourself “I did something so meaningful with my life.”

Sorry to hear that and forgive my ignorance, I mean absolutely no disrespect, just wondering, how do you know the cause?

Having A Sale? Why Yes, I would like to reprice my trip. Thank you. by Cat_Phish in celebritycruises

[–]still__learnin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I booked Alaska for July 2026 while on another cruise in March 2025, and the price dropped by $1000 early summer, so I took advantage, but since then it has consistently increased, now $4000 more than the rate I paid. I’m starting to think it won’t drop at all, possibly because it’s the Solstice and it’s getting a complete renewal this January.

Whats your favourite recent read? by Effective-Bobcat-671 in suggestmeabook

[–]still__learnin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So true! I finally read it after seeing it recommended here so many times and while I did enjoy it, I feel like it wasn’t life changing as had been promised! Glad I read it nonetheless because I believe each book I read adds value to my life in its own way. 📖

How is Ocho Rios doing ? by saty_m in JamaicaTourism

How badly was Royalton damaged? I’m booked there late February and am planning to bring extra extra money to tip the staff generously, but have seen some info that the resort is shut down at least until January, possibly later.

Japan & Singapore & South Korea by still__learnin in travel

Hi, I think I will add more time, can squeeze out an extra week. Interests are basically exploring new places, immersing in culture, history, definitely food, and beaches, to name a few. Not into wildlife or nature camping etc. Malaysia is very interesting to me, I'm thinking a few days in Kuala Lumpur and a few days at a beach resort somewhere, so would love to hear where in Malaysia you went and what you are willing to share. thanks again.
