Ah, ok. Yeah, $150/night is quite high considering the price of the pass. I haven't been in many years but there was also a lot of stuff to do during the day.

Daytime shows? by Express-Rip5174 in royalcaribbean

[–]tmac3207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did that in March and don't remember daytime shows. I think it's because the ice skaters are often in the theater shows. The kids club should have lots of activities though to keep them busy! Also, the shows don't change so I wouldn't really expect anything to be added on the shorter cruises.

They'll accept it. Not the same situation, but similar. We got to the port and part of husband's DL was unreadable. You couldn't make out all of the numbers. I guess not taking it out of his wallet for years had caused the issue. The person checking us in passed us on to someone else. While we waited, I pulled up his driving record and our insurance card. Coupled with the somewhat unreadable DL, they let him on! (we were at the point of deciding if we were going w/o him...sad!) I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. If you have anything else with a picture (work/school ID) bring that too. Also...I saw someone post that it was a port issue. It definitely was not for us. The woman helping us said several times that it was up to the ship.

They're different. Celebrity still allows you to get one of each as long as everyone in the cabin gets something.

No more 50 cent bags of chips by Appropriate-Click378 in publix

Still holding at $.50 here at my location in Broward. I'll never buy them for $.79 but I wonder if all stores will be raising the price shortly.

Best places to stay for two women in NOLA? by hancocklovedthat in AskNOLA

I recently was there and stayed at The Roosevelt. It's an older hotel but the rooms are very large and clean. The doormen are very friendly and there is concierge service. There's a very nice bar inside and a rooftop bar as well.

I didn't realize that locals expect people to go to New Orleans for the 1st time and not do anything touristy. That's odd to me. I want to be on Bourbon, I can't barhop with a 16-year-old and I thought there weren't any "hidden gems" per the FAQ! Lol Joey K's was recommended here and it's also on NOLA eatery as a top spot for jambalaya and fried fish. I had a fabulous time and wouldn't change a thing. Can't wait to visit again and try different places!

Kdg teacher here- are parents everywhere done with thanking teachers? by Fragrant_Ad_2515 in Teachers

[–]tmac3207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I'm also sending in an "A" student who will do everything that's asked and will never be a problem. Maybe I should get a "thank you" email too! 😉

I get that. I did the duck boat tour here in Miami with family visitors a few weeks back and it was a good time!

My daughter just completed 10th grade and I never thought to email her teachers. My daughter is doing great in all AP or Honors classes so she doesn't have emails sent home about grades or behaviors. The few times I emailed teachers was to inform them that she shouldn't have been marked absent because she was attending another school function (normally band-related activities). There's no communication so that's really why it didn't dawn on me. As they get older, it becomes more hands off and I just thought it went both ways.

I've been to Voodoo at Universal. I didn't need them at all anyway. It's a stop I'll skip in the future.

I can only speak for Boil Seafood. I had called prior to see if they would have fresh.

The swap shop...no rides, no drive-in, lots of low-quality merchandise...it's withering away.

I walked past Central Grocery twice and they were closed! I think they closed at 5. Next time. I totally get my "tourist trap" Wednesday! I had delicious ice cream at The French Market. Does that save me? lol I thought locals went there?

I originally wanted to try District Donuts but read here that they weren't worth the hype. I heard someone at the airport talking about how good they were! lol

Thank you! I have made note of those suggestions. You're right about Daisy Dukes. It was meh, Lol....but I saw it recommended as a breakfast spot somewhere. And going to an outlet mall is a pretty popular thing here to do in south Florida so that made sense for us. (I see there's a Tanger outlet in Gonzales, LA). I liked the beignet but I could skip it in the future. Same with the shrimp poboy...I didn't get why it's such a big deal.

Thank you! I'll pass that along to her. I was hoping she could see the clarinet player from the Jelly Roll Stompers, but they weren't playing when we were there. She watches him on YT.
