Hilary Sheinbaum is a journalist and author who does not sleep with a stuffed animal — but is willing to if it helps improve her REM sleep.

Outside of work, they can be found traveling, entertaining, cooking, antiquing, and spending time with their family. Stuffed animals can help regulate their owners’ nervous systems and provide comfort, said Jaime Zuckerman, a clinical psychologist in Ardmore, Pa., who specializes in anxiety, depression and complex relationship dynamics. “If you have a dog and you meet somebody, it’s not like you get rid of the dog, right? He is the beloved stuffed animal — a brown, 16-inch-long Beanie Babies dog — of my friend Jaclyn Roth, an entertainment journalist in New York. He comes to the company from Brown Jordan, where he was director of architecture and design for the East. Before that, he was national and New York City territory sales manager for Made Goods from April 2017 through November 2022.

Partners in both business and life, they aspired to create a company of their own. Merging passions for marketing, stunning craftsmanship, and impeccable attention to detail, Oscar and Chris launched Made Goods in 2009. What began with a single mirror collection designed by Oscar evolved into a family of brands – Made Goods, Pigeon & Poodle, Blue Pheasant and Thucassi.

A native of Barcelona, Oscar received his degree in photography and movie production, as well as an MBA in economics. Oscar began his career at Anthropologie as a buyer where he honed his ability to create and source unique products. Chris holds a degree in economics, with a focus in marketing and entrepreneurship. Working over the years at companies with strong brand cultures, including Nike, Levi’s and Urban Outfitters, Chris shaped his understanding of customers and their relationship to both products and brands. With the purchase, the company adds a custom upholstery resource that has been in business for more than 40 years, allowing it to expand its upholstery assortment and resources for its existing customers.

What marijuana reclassification means for the U S.

• IF MARIJUANA GETS RECLASSIFIED, WOULD IT LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL CANNABIS NATIONWIDE?

• WHAT ABOUT TAXES (AND BANKING)?

The Justice Department proposal would recognize the medical uses of cannabis, but wouldn’t legalize it for recreational use. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country. “You’re going to make these state-legal programs stronger,” says Adam Goers, an executive at medical and recreational cannabis giant Columbia Care. The deduction rule doesn’t apply to Schedule III drugs, so the proposed change would cut cannabis companies’ taxes substantially. But rescheduling in itself would have some impact, particularly on research and marijuana business taxes. There haven’t been many federal prosecutions for simply possessing marijuana in recent years, even under marijuana’s current Schedule I status, but the reclassification wouldn’t have an immediate impact on people already in the criminal justice system.

What marijuana reclassification means for the United States

Under the federal tax code, businesses involved in “trafficking” in marijuana or any other Schedule I or II drug can’t deduct rent, payroll or various other expenses that other businesses can write off. (Yes, at least some cannabis businesses, particularly state-licensed ones, do pay taxes to the federal government, despite its prohibition on marijuana.) Industry groups say the tax rate often ends up at 70% or more. WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is moving toward reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug.

IF MARIJUANA GETS RECLASSIFIED, WOULD IT LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL CANNABIS NATIONWIDE?

“Schedule III is going to leave it in this kind of amorphous, mucky middle where people are not going to understand the danger of it still being federally illegal,” he said. They want to keep the focus on removing it completely from the controlled substances list, which doesn’t include such items as alcohol or tobacco (they’re regulated, but that’s not the same). They’re subject to various rules that allow for some medical uses, and for federal criminal prosecution of anyone who traffics in the drugs without permission. It came after President Joe Biden asked both HHS and the attorney general, who oversees the DEA, last year to review how marijuana was classified. Schedule I put it on par, legally, with heroin, LSD, quaaludes and ecstasy, among others.

Unless otherwise specified in writing, Broker/Agent has not and will not verify any information obtained from other sources. The Broker/Agent providing the information contained herein may or may not have been the Listing and/or Selling Agent. Schedule III drugs are easier to study, though the reclassification wouldn’t immediately reverse all barriers to study, Culver said. “Put simple, this move from Schedule I to Schedule III is not getting people out of jail,” said David Culver, senior vice president of public affairs at the U.S. The proposal must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, and then undergo a public-comment period and review from an administrative judge, a potentially lengthy process.

Its plateaus and coral reefs are home to rich biodiversity comprising 250 coral species and 1,200 fish species. Sea turtles, manta rays and whale sharks are some of the most popular animals here. Of Baa Atoll's 75 islands, 13 are completely uninhabited and shelter this unspoilt fauna, making them ideal for memorable diving sessions. Head for a fancy journey on the sea with this Maldives cruise package. The luxury Costa Cruise ship will sail over the tranquil waters from Cochin to the Maldives. Equipped with numerous entertainment options, the cruise offers the best experiences to its guests.

Maldives Trip Tips

So you can either plan cruise to Maldives from Mumbai or from Kochi. Ranging from luxury to budget, an average price for a  package from India to Maldives cruise starts at INR 31, 000 per person. This excludes taxes, port fees, and other additional charges for personal expenses which are not included in the package. Before planning for it, you must surely know that what’s exclusive about Maldives cruise trip?

Cruises to Maldives

Discover the Maldives, an island nation in the heart of the Indian Ocean, on a Holland America Line cruise. Comprised of more than 1,200 coral islands and sandbanks, the Maldives offers a wide range of island pleasures. Cruise from Malé, the Maldives’ capital, to Paradise Island, where white-sand beaches and a delightful lunch await. Visit the island of Himmafushi and experience life in a traditional fishing village. See how the locals dry fish, sample Maldivian treats and shop for handicrafts. People will get to enjoy holidays in the Maldives which will be memorable for a lifetime because of its magical 1000 islands.

Cruise Destinations & Ports

We are here to make your trip the best experience in the Maldives with over 12 years of experience in the industry and along with world-class dive points plus surf points. Rice, potato and fish (fresh or dried) are the cornerstones of the Maldives cuisine. These are eaten at every meal, often with coconut milk, grated coconut, various chillies and, of course, spices and condiments.

Cruise lines that visit Maldives

On a cruise, you sometimes can visit three, four or even five places in the region in just a week or two, with someone else figuring out all the logistics. For an excursion with a difference during your time in the Maldives, go swimming with manta rays and whale sharks – but don’t worry, they won’t bite! The water in the Maldives is famously clean and clear, so expect fantastic visibility of these wondrous pelagic fish – you might get the chance to spot them feeding on plankton, too. Because access is limited to a few ships and hydroplanes, Noonu Atoll is one of the loveliest in the Maldives. It's also a great dive site with accessible reefs from 3 to 14 metres deep. Red-toothed triggerfish, nurse sharks, silvertip reef sharks, rays, hard and soft coral can be seen at different levels and put on a great show.

Cruises

Generally, there is no need for travelers to apply for a pre-arrival visa, as for the Maldives, a visa on arrival for 30 days is being granted to all travelers from all over the world. On the contrary, make sure you check the expiry date of your passport and get it sorted in case the date falls within 30 days of your arrival in the Maldives. These include several nights stay in a hotel or a land tour before or after your cruise. Locals don't even consider practising another faith or straying from Muslim precepts. The servers at the hotel-islands who are allowed to serve it to foreign clients generally come from Sri Lanka.

So pick from our list of cruises packages from India to Maldives during these months only. An idyllic picture-postcard with dots of confetti scattered across pure waters... From desert islands to wild atolls, the Maldives promise a series of underwater discoveries perfect for diving enthusiasts. These unspoilt natural surroundings and fantastic beaches are what people come here to the middle of the Indian Ocean for. The Maldives enjoys a tropical climate comprising dry and wet seasons.

Q: What is the best time to visit the Maldives?

This is also why the Maldives government was one of the first in the world to decide to become a 100% carbon-neutral country. So, if you want to enjoy this remarkable tropical paradise, it’s better to go sooner rather than later. Additionally, the responsible thing to do is making your itinerary as environment-friendly as possible, too. Another reason why you should consider Maldives cruises in the near future is the very fact that the islands may no longer exist by the end of the century.

In case you’re traveling to the Maldives by flight first, then you can purchase a local network card (that works on board too) from one of the counters at the airport itself. South Malé Atoll is a 35km long oblong shaped atoll formation comprising 22 islands and is separated from the North Malé Atoll by a very deep channel called Vaadhu Kandu. It is drastically different from its more mainstream cousin in the north as these islands are more peaceful and serene. There are many activities to partake in, like scuba diving, snorkeling, catamaran cruises, dolphin and whale watching, and island hopping.

Visit the Malé Friday Mosque, built in 1658, to experience its ornate architecture. The harbor houses a fish and produce market where visitors can taste the daily catch or try the local fruit. The Maldives is definitely not a major destination for cruise ships. Unfortunately, man’s best friends are strictly prohibited on the island of Maldives.

While entering passenger names during the booking process, do ensure that they exactly match the names on the travel documents (e.g. passport) that you will be carrying for the trip. To travel to any international destination, your passport must have a minimum validity of 06 months from your planned date of return. On some of these cruises you have the option to book just the cruise only. Bodu beru is a rhythmic musical style found across the Maldives and accompanied by a few dancers.

The city features a tangle of small streets, beautifully-carved mosques and cluttered outdoor bazaars. City's main tourist attractions include National Museum (ancient stone carvings, artifacts of former sultans), Sultan Park, Islamic Centre, Grand Friday Mosque. Male Island also has beautiful lagoons and sandy beaches lined with coconut palms. Port Male cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Male, Kaafu Atoll, Maldives.

The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Male, Kaafu Atoll, Maldives.

The Maldives is home to people who are friendly and supportive of tourism. However, travelers must avoid carrying pork, alcohol, or any other banned products. The Male International Airport, also known as Velana International Airport at Hulhule Island, is the most famous of the four. The second most popular is the Gan International Airport at Seenu Atoll, followed by Hanimaadhoo International Airport in Haa Dhaalu Atoll and Maafaru International Airport, Noonu Atoll. Ponant typically operates just a couple departures of the itinerary each year on one of its small, yacht-like Explorer Class ships. Holding just 184 passengers, the vessels are designed for off-the-beaten-path "expedition" cruising.

So whenever planning a trip to the Maldives, do keep these cruise lines in mind. Changing menus, creative drinks, and seafood in excess is something you can look forward to on a cruise to the Maldives. Food is the most exciting part of a cruise to the Maldives which will certainly not let you down.

On the Mardi Gras, Celebration and Jubilee, it’s been upgraded to a two-story pool-side venue called the RedFrog Tiki bar with a slightly different menu (see below). This menu is the wine list you’ll find in most of the main dining rooms across the Carnival fleet. If you prefer a cocktail, you can usually use the Atrium Bar Menu.

That’s fine and dandy if you and your friend, spouse, or partner both drink at roughly the same level. Now, I am excited to embark on a new journey as an author, sharing my knowledge and insights with readers who share my fascination for the world of cruising. We found ourselves spending quite a bit of time here on Carnival Celebration. The glass mural from Carnival Victory displayed at this bar fits right in with the décor of the ship. Limelight Lounge is home to shows, dancing, and comedy over the course of the cruise.

Havana Bar — As you might guess, Havana Bar keeps with a Cuban theme. If you want a mojito (or a cup of Cuban coffee), this is the place. During the night there is usually live music and dancing, along with a number of spots to sit and have a cozy, intimate chat with someone you love. This is the go-to place for fancy coffees, including spiked versions, as well as milkshakes and floats. Another excellent show is "Rio Carnival," which occurs at Center Stage in the Grand Central zone instead of the main theater.

Fun pursuits on the daily schedule might include arts and crafts, themed parties, science experiments, games and story time, depending on the age group. Cabanas are available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Prices vary by sailing, but on my voyage, they were $500 per day from 8 a.m. Pool lifts accommodating up to 300 pounds are available for passengers with limited mobility. Unique to Carnival Jubilee are two new bars in the Deck 6 Currents zone. As a sucker for soft-serve ice cream, I was a frequent visitor to the three soft-serve ice cream and frozen yogurt machines on decks 8, 16 and 17.

I love that the drinks menus here are attached to the daybeds – so that you can easily see which cocktails, sangrias, wines and beers you can order without leaving your seat. It's so common for JavaBlue to be backed up throughout the day that an easy-to-miss sign directs passengers to other locations where they can grab a cup of coffee. Meanwhile, lines at the onboard deli and pizzeria counters frequently snake so far down Deck 8 that they block the entrance to seafood restaurant Rudi's Seagrill. One night, as I was dining at Rudi's with some of my travel companions, we joked that the lines were dangerously close to melding with the line for the nearby guest services desk. By purchasing the beverage package, I knew what I’d walk off the ship owing, barring extra purchases like shore excursions, spa treatments and the like. I’ve been on some cruises where I’ve looked at my onboard account statement and thought, “Jeez, I should have bought the drink package.” This wouldn’t be that cruise.

For those who don’t want to pay a ‘la carte for drinks, Carnival has an unlimited drink package, called Cheers. Try our Drink Package Calculator to see if it’s worth it financially for you. The Serenity Area is the adults-only (21+) area that’s found on every Carnival ship (you can learn more about it here). This area is also home to this bar which serves some special cocktails that are great to sip while enjoying some peace and quiet. Bonsai Sushi is the place to go if you’re looking for fresh sushi on a Carnival cruise.

For cruisers looking for a drink while on the outdoor promenade on Deck 8, there is the Watering Hole. This bar serves a small specialty menu including the watermelon crush and planters punch, along with signature Carnival and ParchedPig brews. Located on the starboard side of Deck 8 is the Havana Bar. This venue is open to all cruisers, and it is one of the liveliest bars on the ship. During the day, you might find dance classes or karaoke sessions.

Fun drinks

If you are a fan of piano lounges, you will want to stop in and request your favorite songs. And, why not grab a drink, like the Showstopper or B Sharp, to go along with the tunes. The Watering Hole Bar is located in the Summer Landing Zone on Carnival's Excel-class ships and offers beautiful views. The Red Frog Tiki Bar is a supersized version of the Red Frog Rum Bar that’s on most other Carnival ships. This super-sized, two-story Caribbean themed bar is at the heart of the Lido Pool area and is always full of energy.

The RedFrog Pub is the Caribbean-themed indoor bar that’s located on the lower level of many Carnival ships. It’s different than the RedFrog Rum Bar which is found in the Lido Pool Deck Area. You can find it on the Breeze, Freedom, Legend, Magic, Miracle, Pride, Radiance, Splendor, Spirit, Sunshine, Sunrise, and Valor.

From the Hula Girl, to the Rum Jumper, to the Zombie, there are plenty of fun drinks to sample. This multi-use space is home to a variety of activities day and night from trivia, to family comedy shows, and karaoke. There is also a small bar located here, serving the standard drink menu. In the heart of the Gateway Zone, there is another new bar, the Latitudes Bar. Complete with a flickering sign, it offers a signature cocktail menu featuring classic drinks from around the world, like an aperol spritz or a Caipirnha. Home to two pianists and a signature cocktail menu, this intimate lounge is adorned in metallic and black finishes.

Every Carnival ship has a piano bar that’s hopping every night. While it might not always be named Piano Bar 88, it will have a similar drink menu to the one below. It’s available exclusively on Carnival Jubilee in the Currents zone.

If you’re a beer fan, I highly recommend the Brewery Tour for $30 a person. You can read more about the Carnival Pig & Anchor Brewery Tour here. In addition, when you get your receipt you’ll also see a line for an additional tip.

It’s available exclusively on Carnival Celebration in the 820 Biscayne zone. Emerils Bistro 1396 is a quick-service restaurant located in the French Quarter of the Carnival Mardi Gras. Note that if you sail Carnival from Australia, then the drinking age is lowered to 18 years old on the ship. While some have closing times of midnight and others simply say they are open until “Late.” You can check the hours of operation on the Carnival app once on the ship.

For the wow factor, the best drink I had was A Pearly Bubble. Found on the menu at the Golden Mermaid, it's a mix of gin, St-Germain liqueur, white cranberry juice, dragon fruit and lime juice. It was a bit too dry for me, so I didn't care for the taste; however, you won't want to miss the presentation, which involves a giant bubble atop the drink.

Carnival Cucumber Sunrise recipe

The inside of the bar is home to lively music most evenings. This bar also has an exterior section, but it’s only accessible to guests staying in the Havana area. This bar may be confusing because Carnival uses odd naming for their venues. While many ships have “Guy’s Pig & Anchor BBQ,” few have the actual Smokehouse and Brewhouse, which has cocktails. The Smokehouse/Brewhouse is a sit-down restaurant with a large bar serving some great cocktails. They even have a brewery right inside this bar where they make their own beer!

A guide to the Alchemy Bar, Carnival’s hot spot for cocktails (with menu)

At night, live music and other activities are regularly featured in this well-themed space. The small theater consists of a stage with cozy booths and plenty of other additional seating near the stage. Before the show, you can grab a drink from the small themed menu. With cocktails like the signature Punchliner and the Jokester, it’s sure to be a good night. Alchemy Bar is Carnival’s signature high-end cocktail bar. Here, experienced bartenders whip up some delicious, hand-crafted cocktails.

It pops when you poke it, leaving behind a tiny poof of smoke. Give me one or two pina coladas on a weeklong cruise, and I'm good to go. However, the massively creative options on the menus at both the Golden Mermaid and Dr. Inks, Ph.D., bars are absolutely worth a shoutout. Plus, the space is a bit of a throwback to the days when interior designer and architect Joe Farcus was responsible for Carnival's ship decor. The decor is midcentury modern style meets '80s quirk, featuring a pink and teal color scheme, fun light fixtures and a bar with colored mirror accents.

While you’re there, have one of these specialty cocktails. Unfortunately, cocktails are unavailable on Ecstasy, Elation, Freedom, and Miracle as they have a Bonsai Sushi Express, not a dedicated restaurant. Carnival Cruise Line, in particular, has taken this evolution to heart, revolutionizing its drink offerings with a tailored menu for almost every bar on their ships. This accomplishment is noteworthy, especially when considering that a single ship can host between 10 and 15 bars. One policy that can take some getting used to is that you are free to take your drink anywhere on the ship. So if you head to a bar, you can then take the beverage with you to the pool, the dining room, your cabin, or the theater.

Carnival Cruise Full Beer Menu (With Prices)

On another day, the printed schedule was missing part four of a four-part show, which did show up on the agenda in the app. Combining noise with the annoyance of hawking alcohol, the roving waiters visited every table at Chibang! — the ship's hybrid Mexican-Asian restaurant — one night while I was having dinner there. Whenever somebody bought one, the waiter would demand that they yell "Shot, shot, shot!" before downing it. This was extremely disruptive and added to the already loud atmosphere.

However, it was disappointing to see that many menus weren't marked with specific options for vegetarians, vegans and people who can't eat gluten. Dinner reservations are recommended for many eateries, even the main dining rooms. You can make them by visiting your restaurant of choice or by using the HUB app. If you don't make one, you might find yourself waiting 20 minutes or more for a table at peak times. If you make a reservation through the app, you'll receive a notification to report to the host stand when your table is ready.

Also, be sure to keep an eye out for the Journeys that occur here. From time traveling, to visiting exotic locales, each evening there is a different destination to visit while in the Gateway. Right next to the bar is a large seating area with chairs and sofas. The outside portion of the Havana Bar is only open to guests staying in Havana cabins. The Havana Bar is open to all guests and this venue is usually filled with lively Latin music each night. During the day, it's a great place to relax with a game of dominos or attend an event.

This venue opens at 6 AM most mornings for cruisers to get their caffeine fix. Serving espresso-based beverages and milk shakes that are included in the Cheers drink package, you might find yourself visiting this café quite a bit. Drinks are divided into categories, such as Passion Potions, Energizing Elixirs, Relief for What Ails and the Medicine Cabinet. "Zero-proof elixirs" (aka nonalcoholic drinks) are also available. While well stocked with cucumbers, elderflower liqueur and chipotle pineapple syrup, the Alchemy Bar does not supply soda or a blender, so you'll have to look elsewhere for some standard cruise ship drinks. If you're feeling daring, you can fill out a "prescription" to devise your own cocktail; if you're more indecisive, order a flight of four martinis off an abbreviated menu.

Revved Up Mojito MartiniRev it up with Bombay Sapphire Gin, Dry Vermouth, simple syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves. Martini SeductionGrey Goose L’Orange Vodka, red passion fruit nectar, freshly squeezed lime juice, and a hint of orange. Carnival offers seven classic cocktails handmade with Lyre's Spiced Cane, Agave Blanco, White Cane and Dry London nonalcoholic spirits.

Also in the space is Emeril's Bistro 717, a New Orleans-style, for-fee eatery developed by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Carnival Jubilee is a megaship, coming in at 183,521 tons and carrying up to 6,631 passengers at full capacity. It's tied with Carnival Celebration for the title of the largest ship in Carnival's fleet.

The only difference between the two itineraries is the order in which the port calls and sea days occur. I also missed out on the RedFrog Tiki Bar, a two-deck (decks 16 and 17), hut-style setup that replaces the RedFrog Rum Bar found on many other Carnival ships' pool decks. It's where you'll find the most quintessentially tropical menu of mixed drinks on board.

Also on Deck 8 are Coastal Slice and neighboring Beach Buns, which respectively replace the pizza and deli counters found by the pool on most other Carnival ships. Unfortunately, both the service and atmosphere at Chibang! The space is simply packed with tables — so much so that there were only about two inches between my table and the one next to me, even though I was dining alone. It then took nearly 10 minutes for a waiter to bring me water and another 10 before someone came to take my order.

The Fahrenheit 555 Bar is part of Carnival's specialty steakhouse, but on the Celebration, the bar is open to anyone. Spicy Chipotle Pineapple MartiniPrepared with Belvedere Vodka, chipotle pineapple syrup, pineapple juice, simple syrup and mint leaves. Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum, Bacardi Rum, strawberry puree, a hint of rosemary sprig and fresh lime. Absolut Vanilia Vodka, Chambord, Domaine Chandon Sparkling Wine and a touch of fresh lime.

Drinks are $10.95, with a 15 percent gratuity automatically added on top. Drinks at the Alchemy Bar are covered under Carnival's Cheers drinks package. The Latitudes Bar is dedicated to cocktails found around the world. It’s found exclusively on the Carnival Celebration in The Gateway zone.
