hello everybody !! I've been going on cruises my whole life but havent been in a long time, and in that time, ive become an adult.

now I have my first cruise as an adult lined up for december, and im wondering if anybody has recommendations for drinks that will get me tipsy, but wont taste disgusting. im a naturally nervous and shy person, so I like to be tipsy or drunk so I can enjoy myself without worries, but Im a picky person who doesnt like the taste of wines, beers, or other alcohols. for most parties, i drink cruisers or hard rated, no clue if they have those on carnival. my favourite flavours are passionfruit, lemon, lime, pineapple, cola, stuff like that.

if it helps, im just going on a simple carnival adventure cruise, 5 days, with one friend. im pretty small so it doesn't take a lot to get me drunk. I have zero experience with mixed drinks or cocktails since I stick so closely to the drinks that are familiar and safe to me, so reading the bar menus does nothing for me as ive never tried them 😭💔

edit: for everyone's information, my cruise unfortunately does NOT have the alchemy bar !!

I grew up very sheltered and I was not allowed to use ANY kitchen appliances growing up! thus, at my grown age, im learning it all myself.

one thing im stumped by is eggs. they're simple enough, but i can never figure out when its done. I dont have great eyesight, but I cant see if there's any clear bits because the clear bits just blend in to all the white bits. gooey bits? its all gooey, egg is gooey. and the yolk is solid, so I never know when its still runny and cooked and always end up cooking it through

are there any hacks for this?

edit: ps, im cooking as we speak, ive made 3 eggs today and burned the first two terribly, but the third one seems GOOD 👏

I need help finding a lip product that wont end up leaving that weird scum near the inside of my lips after a few hours of wear!! My lips dry out easy, so I NEED lip balm/oil/gloss on, but every single one ive tried dries and leaves a residue eventually. Ive tried burts bees, elf, sheglam, mcobeauty, rimmel london, essence, nivea, really anything I could find and justify the price of. Very few have left minimal residue, and the ones that do typically arent very comfortable to wear
