Happens here in NY all the time. Frustrating.

I need to know why this is a thing. My mom certainly never taught me this yet i have always packed extra on every trip since I can remember packing. I call it the "in case I s*** my pants" but I haven't s*** my pants since diapers so I dunno.

Not a fan here. The ones I've joined there was no real group and I wound up by myself because there was no social delineation. Think it's a great idea but since there is no real facilitator it never worked for me.

As someone who lives in NY I'm super grateful for the NJ port. It's easier to get to New Jersey than it is to Manhattan with luggage. I've left from both and always prefer Cape Liberty.

I know for me it's because I have my elders from when I was kid telling me i'd get hit by lightning.

Looks amazing but that's a flatbread with lobstah. fight me. On the not even close to a rant...you're not wrong. The food quality went down and we're all talking about all the time. Sounds like you said what they needed to hear but we all know things don't change easily.

I love this. I work across the street from Madison Square Garden and worked in Times Square before that and never have been. I go nowhere. lol. Occasionally I'll go in for a show but only when a friend wants to drive in.

You are getting the best ever weather today. It's gorgeous. Low humidity. Breeze. Welcome to NY (NJ too). NYC doesn't get a lot of great weather. 3 days of spring right into summer. (i'm exaggerating but not far off). Summer is a boil and smelly and gross but today, you've got a good one.

I work in NYC and rarely go in for fun but when I do my favorite thing is to have no plans. We always find some hole in the wall for food and have never been disappointed. Can't wait to find out where you end up! Have a safe flight and looking forward to your cruise posts!

I am loyal to no one. I prefer Royal for comfortability - I know what I'm in for. But I am NEVER loyal to a business and can't see it ever happening. It's a business that wants to make money, as it should, off of me.

Happy to hear pup is eating. Nothing can ruin a trip like worrying when you can't do very much.

I'd never imply or say anyone is a victim but I also don't dismiss other people's worries. If that's not what you mean then great.

Pretty sure it doesn't happen to "everyone" - I say this as someone with a physical disability. My friends and family never talk about getting strange looks from people yet it happens to me on the daily on vacation. to the OP - enjoy your vacation. Don't let anyone take away your joy. Personally I don't wanna see too much full frontal or butt on anyone so as long as bits are covered, who cares.

I am one of them but that just means I probably won't sail one but I love a blog.

I've enjoyed it. I think it depends on what you want out of it. You can be friendly with others (same as non solo) or keep to yourself. I like the freedom of solo and doing what I want to do whenever I want to. I'm also an only child who can entertain myself for hours. I haven't loved the solo events because they weren't clearly marked and non solo joined. I did the trivia a few times and there were couples, kinda was besides the point...
