GBBO is completely different from most competitive shows. With the exception of Paul, everyone is nice. They’re literally competing for fame and a glass cake plate. My daughter and I love it; we said if it was the Great American Bake Off, there’d be a brawl over pie and a torrid love affair before it was all said and done.

Well, that’s an apropos metaphor, then.

We are clearly horrible people in America. 🤣

Describe that feeling for me using a lot of imagery. *cries in educator salary*

I loved the biscuits in May on the Celebration. They were big and fluffy. A little butter and jelly from the buffet made for a great breakfast. I loved the skillet cake at brunch. Is that not your breakfast style? I know some folks don’t like sweets at breakfast, and I support them…I just don’t get it. 🤣

Oh. Wow. I’m more afraid of what the situation is under her robe. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on the news tonight to see if there was an in-flight flasher. 🤣

You’re a better person than I am. I would have pressed charges.

Part of this - a large part of this- is a parenting issue. We deal with it every day.

Can confirm. It’s wild out here. Megan, I’m sorry this happened to you!

What in the Jersey Shore but from Wish.com is this?!

I can’t unteacher myself. I will 121% call that behavior out. Good for you.

Glad you’re feeling better! Being hungry is a good sign!

I mean, packaged food has an allowable amount of rat feces and insect matter in it, so I feel like that point is on shaky ground. Reputable companies provide certificates of third party testing.

We had one a few months ago and loved it! It was very quiet (except for when our neighbors were on their balcony - they had a very, VERY good time out there!!)

It’s unclear whether or not you tried it. Did you? You can always talk to the staff in the buffet and the MDR about your dietary needs. My son has a gluten allergy, and they have always provided meals and tasty treats for him. Sometimes there is something different tucked away (in his case, cookies) that they can bring out.

You are so right about the speaker/ face time calls. A woman next to us called her teenage son on FT and proceeded to rip him a new one over something he’d done. For 20 minutes. Then, she called a relative and rehashed the whole thing. People nearby were turning to look at her - you know the look! - and she just carried on, oblivious. Ma’am? You did not need to take this whole section of the Lido deck on this journey with you. No consent was given. And yet, she stuffed us all in her proverbial trunk for the ride. 😭

Not the Villages!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome! I’ve been waiting on this review. I’m the super awkward human who recognized you on the pier in Amber Cove. 🤣 Interested to see what you thought of the ship/ cruise!

Two dudes in the production booth are laughing like the old men in the Muppet Show as this happens.

A towel armadillo is a new one…

I love me some Walmart. Best produce in town. I have two degrees. 🎉🎉

My mother must’ve entered the chat. 🤣 Every time we go on a cruise- you know, that we’ve worked hard for as a middle-class family- she tuts and says, “Thousands of people doesn’t sound like a vacation to me, but I’m sure you’ll have a great time.” Mom, if you want to pay the 40k it would take for us all to sail your cruise line in Europe, we would LOVE to join you. In the meantime, we will be over here, slumming it with the unwashed masses, I guess. *shrugs and bites into a Guy’s burger*

Look, I drive a Kia. My own boss joked about Kia, not realizing that I have one. He drives a Jeep, so if he wants to pretend that his car is somehow luxurious and/ or superior, who am I to burst his bubble? I absolutely love my Kia. It makes me happy every time I see it. It’s the same with cruise lines. We’ve cruised several of the main cruise lines. Carnival makes me happy every time I’m on one. Is every cruise perfect? Nope. But I’ve left every one with great memories and ready for the next one. I loved our Celebrity cruise. I think it was the 5th or 6th one out after cruising started back up. Everyone was thrilled to be there. Everyone was so kind to each other and the staff. Food was great. We had Captain Kate (IYKYK). Were our next door neighbors eagerly engaging in activities at all hours? Sigh. Yes. And the walls were thin. But we still left with great memories and ready for the next one. We choose what we focus on; ergo, that cruise made us happy. But it wasn’t superior to our Carnival ones. If someone wants to believe that their experience is somehow superior for whatever reason, who am I to correct their thinking? That’s its own form of elitism. I’m just on a cruise to have a great time.

Was it “All By Myself”?

People say the same thing about my abs…under my protective layers of fat.
