Carnival Splendor’s summer itineraries to Alaska are part of a three-ship deployment, along with Carnival Spirit from Seattle and Carnival Miracle from San Francisco – the largest-ever cruise program Carnival has sailed to Alaska. today on an eight-day Alaska cruise, completing an impressive and successful restart of guest operations and setting the pace for the rest of the U.S. Guests are set to depart from Seattle, Wash. Literally no one used the term “gay” in a review for The Landing once.Carnival Cruise Line’s entire fleet back in serviceĬarnival Splendor is the 23rd and final Carnival ship to welcome guests back on board after Carnival’s resumption of cruising from the U.S. It’s a complete meat market, sure, and Wednesday night have always been Newport’s guilty pleasure…but it’s not very gay and as best as we can tell, the only reason this popped up in Yelp’s net for the topic is that people use the word “spot” a lot in reviews. Not being gay, we’ve never cruised The Landing for men but we’d have a hard time thinking of it as a great spot for cruising…or at least a better spot than all but one of Newport’s locations. Seven spots were listed, but only two are actually in Newport (the rest being in Providence or even further afield). The results were hilariously uninformative. We had to see what Yelp had to say on the subject. #4 was “Best Gay cruising spots in Newport, RI – Yelp”. Our post on the worst places to have a threesome in Newport was ranked #1. Today we saw this…Ĭuriosity got the better of us, so we googled “Places to have public sex in Newport RI”. Well, from our website’s dashboard, we can see some of the search terms that brought people to our site. Sometimes it fails spectacularly in utterly bizarre ways. Their “Best Restaurants Newport, RI” list is passable, though Newport’s more “foodie” residents might take some issues with it, especially if they’re the type to call themselves foodies. These lists are then published online to get clicks for Yelp’s website. It then uses some kind of algorithm to take these reviews and create lists. Yelp has a few issues, but one of its biggest is that it’s trying to create a reality based on reviews. If there’s one place we see a lot of glitches, it’s Yelp, especially when they decide to let us know what’s going in at Newport’s gay cruising spots. It’s when they go wrong that you notice “a glitch in the Matrix”. If they’re the correct algorithm, then we don’t even notice that they’re there. They determine what we see on Facebook, what we find on Google, whether the NSA thinks we’re a terrorist and so on. In the modern world, much of our lives are ruled by algorithms.
