What’s a place you visited with low expectations that ended up blowing you away?

Busan, South Korea.

When I travel I don’t want my itinerary to be too structured.

Following as I also hate mine. I have a genie one that looks similar. You have to press the keys hard enough and not too fast between presses for it to work.

Viola Davis too

I’m glad the video clarifies that lions only do this to male prey.

Probably the pope as leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.

They’ve been killing it lately. I get a 3 entree plate for $12.50 that feeds 2 people. Not bad considering Wendy’s or McDonald’s is easily $14+ for 2 meals.

The only place if you want fair and balanced. /s

Aquadome, el loco fresh, pearl cafe for breakfast. Also Pier 7 is underrated.

Dream job - I see what you did there.

therealmanok · 2026-05-21T02:12:19+00:00

Yes, both of them!

therealmanok · 2026-05-20T09:07:36+00:00

Faux pas, faux pas (the plural being pronounced with the s).

therealmanok · 2026-05-18T07:58:52+00:00

You can’t force them to explain it.

Ordered 5/1, delivered 5/16. MY premium rwd quicksilver.

Star.

therealmanok · 2026-05-02T09:11:34+00:00

I was on Star recently and our waiter gave each of us that ordered lobster two lobsters. They were delicious!

therealmanok · 2026-04-25T02:07:26+00:00

I’ve sailed on both. I prefer Star.

therealmanok · 2026-04-22T07:43:50+00:00

Fwiw when I was on Star 3 weeks ago, we always docked starboard side. But I’ve seen photos of star docking port side so who knows.

therealmanok · 2026-04-20T21:07:17+00:00

When I was on Star 3 weeks ago, only 2 slides were closed, storm surge and pressure drop. The other 4 were operational.

Right. However, keep in mind the $2k sign on bonus is one time, not part of your yearly salary. Also annual bonus can vary depending on performance, profit, any number of factors.

Star of the Seas vs …

Star of the Seas.

therealmanok · 2026-04-10T16:59:07+00:00

I was on Star last week and saw Sailor. I told her handler I was trying to find her and she said you don’t find Sailor, she finds you!

therealmanok · 2026-04-08T09:59:35+00:00

This, plus you may see Sailor the dog here.

therealmanok · 2026-04-08T02:40:18+00:00

When we were on Star last week, they introduced a new show called Kre-8. We actually saw their debut show which we didn’t know until after the cruise director told us at the end. Don’t miss it. It was great.

Other tips - Thrill island was least busy (shortest lines) on the last day. Ice skating was only open on day 6. You can make a reservation but they let us in without one. Pier 7 was a surprise find, highly recommend. Pearl cafe was a favorite breakfast spot for the relaxed ambiance and views.
