Costco organic brocolli puts all the brocolli inside a bag inside a bag. Why would you do that.

Now it's just more waste for me to recycle.

Just put all the brocolli in one bag.

Because they assume most people are not as lazy as you. Meanwhile:

I went on two cruises in my life

one was a royal carribean cruise through mexico

the other was a scandanavian cruise through Europe on one that wasn't a major company (not Carnival, NCL or Royal Corribean, not even Viking)

What would you know about efficiency???

You don’t NEED 3 sammiches for lunch.
You don’t NEED 2 bowls of ice cream for dessert
You don’t NEED to be so f***ing lazy…

[John Price]

wtf

The bus tours are like 3x that.

I mean on a cruise you're getting like day long excursions but that is insanely cheap.

Almost makes me want to head on out to the petri dish and indulge myself...

Lil’ Yachty??

 

[John Price]

he's not wrong

on a cruise they just assemble masses of people in groups and have them hit up hot tourist spots. barely have time to explore the area. "Be back here in 1 hour. Or we'll leave without you."

Rome one day. Then go back and ride the ship. Next day you're in Greece.

As the kids say it's speedrunning a vacation. And maybe some people like that. Me most of my trips were on bus rides. It's kind of the same except you get more of a chance to see scenery as you're going from place to place.

1. What does the bolded part even mean?
2. Why would we "comp" food and drink? First of all basic meals are included already. Specialty dining you pay extra for.
3. Prices are like anything else in America.....based on supply & demand. Itineraries that sell well are priced high. Those that don't sell well are highly discounted.

 

[John Price]

Specialty dining you pay extra for

Why

I have been meaning to ask this for eons as I’m curious….

Does our good friend @PanthersPens62 work in the cruise-line industry??

If you are looking to spend lots of time in ANY city, then take a land vacation. You should be cruising if you want a taste of the ports of call & prefer the overall shipboard experience.

Yes.

People with "Unlimited Fundz" are not in need of bargain basement rates.

It's all trash other then the teppanyaki

What's base food, the buffet

I don't like steak house I don't like fine dining

 

[PanthersPens62]

Why

Because its a slightly higher quality of food that they serve. And no that does NOT mean the "regular food" is bad. It just means you get a slightly better quality & presentation in the specialties.

You forget Asians are also cheap.

And no one is forcing you to do it. Plenty of people stick to the main dining rooms & the buffet and enjoy them quite much.

 

[John Price]

We make a lot but you have to understand spending money for Asians is like trying to take a body part

We don't spend shit lol

What's in the main dinning room. Lamb?

 

[John Price]

We were so cheap growing up we didn't even have cable or a Nintendo. We were the original cord cutters. Now everyone brags About being one.

 

[John Price]

Did @Le Zairafim go to any night markets and bargain in Korea. Do they have the counterfeit goods there or is that only Taiwan/ China doing that lol

The main dining rooms serve a wide variety of meats, fowl, seafood and anything else you would find in a decent land based eatery........yes including lamb. As I stated when I posted from my prior cruise, the lamb shank meal is one of my faves.
