Full disclosure,I don't frequently stay at Hilton properties. I'm a Marriott guy. Farmville, VA doesn't have any Marriott branded properties, so I booked this Tru. BEWARE!

I booked the Tru by Hilton in Farmville, VA for a 1 night stay. As my wife was checking in, at approx. 10:45pm, there was a very loud group of people in the lobby as well as outside.  My wife commented to the Front Desk Agent(FDA) that she hopes our room isn’t near their rooms.  The FDA said she was unsure of what room the people were staying in, but if it’s loud, she could move us. There’s my first issue.  Why inconvenience and move us rather than have the other party be quiet? BTW, there are “Quiet Hours” signs througho

So I just booked my first Celebrity River Cruise! Budapest to Vilshofen. Super excited even though it's over 2 years away in July of 2028.

There were only 6 infinite veranda staterooms left, and each statement holds max 2 pax. Family of 4 needed 2. They're both on the port side. Hoping the views on that side aren't inferior since all the starboard side rooms sold first. Probably won't be in the room much though.

It's nice that with the exception of gratuities and travel insurance, there are no other upsells! Drinks, Wi-Fi, dining, all 100% included!. But damn was it still expensive lol

Speaking of insurance, I didn't buy it from Celebrity at over $2k. I think I'll buy an annual type polic

So my family is locked up in analysis paralysis. We are looking at 3 different itineraries for our Caribbean spring break cruise next March.

1. 7 night Celebrity Beyond Retreat

2. 7 night NCL Breakaway Haven

3. 6 night MSC Meraviglia Yacht Club

All are priced within $1,000 total of eachother, so cost is not a factor. All go to ports we've been to before, so that doesn't factor in really, either. Except NCL goes to Cozumel, and we've just been there on 3 of our last 4 cruises.

NCL is attractive though for the Mississippi River aspect of the cruise. We've never sailed from, nor been to, NOLA before, so we'd also get to see a new city and completely new sights as we head south to the Gulf

Just ordered online and received this bag today!!

I'm new to this hobby so doubt I'll be able to tell a difference, but got super excited to see yesterday as the roast date!

We're currently on board the Regal Princess... long lines for drinks(10+ people deep), hour plus wait for Ocean Now, 2 hours for room service. Stateroom attendant asks us to help him by making sure to use towels 2-3 times before getting new ones. First night at dinner, waiter asked how I was, I said I'm great I'm on vacation, how about you? His response was it gets better every day because he gets to go home sooner. Like what? That's not a customer service response, and then he followed that by bringing out the wrong entree for all 7 of us at the table. No exaggeration, 7 of 7 entrees were wrong, not just placed in front of the wrong person, but not a single entree delivered was ordered by a

So we will be on the Regal Princess out of Galveston 12/28-1/4. This is our first time sailing Princess. I just checked the app to see about theme nights, and my wife is on the Facebook page, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of them.

Does Princess not do Theme nights? Or, if they do, how long do they normally wait to announce what themes they'll be doing?

Just bought the flat top griddle for my Genesis. The instructions very clearly state to install all Weber Crafted accessories on the right side. However, that's the side with the sear burner. Any reason why it can't be in the left side? It fits just fine and has 2 burners directly under it, so not sure why the side matters. Thanks!

My wife and I are leaving for Hawaii soon from the east coast. Riding up front for the whole trip. BWI>DFW is on a 737, which we've ridden up front a handful of times before. DFW>HNL is on a 787. It'll be our first experience in a lie-flat environment. Any specific etiquette or tips we should be aware of? TIA!

Lifelong republican here. Wishing the right had someone other than Trump. Convince me to vote blue. Serious replies only, tomorrow is not a joke. I don't want to compromise what I believe, but I also don't believe Trump is what's best for the next 4 years. Struggling to justify switching sides. Please help.

Disclaimer: I was on a plane last night so I didn't get to watch the game.

What is going on with all the negative talk about last night's game? A month or so ago no Caps fan would've expected to take Boston to a shootout, and certainly not being in the #3 Metro playoff spot! So it sounds like it wasn't a great game, but so the fuck what. Look at the big picture here. Ovi has been on a tear since the all star break, we're in playoff contention, and we stole a point from someone we previously would've had no right to.

This team is scratching and clawing their way to a post season opportunity none of us expected. Talk about building grit for our younger players.

Will we get bounced in the
