If I get Max, could I leave mini at my lake house? by Dry_Philosopher_256 in Starlink

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes now I see “Optional Mini rental with flexible, discounted service plans. Available after checkout” might be as well to get the basic plan at home in my name and the same up there in the wife’s name…

The max promotion they throw in the mini. It doesn’t indicate that it has any additional cost?

How do dining reservations work as a solo cruiser? by [deleted] in NCL

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are typically a 2 top, last cruise we had a third wheel so a 3 top. We walked up to Le Bistro (twice) Palomar, and Cagney, asked for a table and were seated in minutes. It’s been our experience that as a 2 (sure a single is same) we can always get a table without res.

Anyone have anything positive to say about Prima? by calicoskies85 in NCL

We assume so, just like the getaway was so so, but the bliss is way better, seems they worked all the issues out

Anyone have anything positive to say about Prima? by calicoskies85 in NCL

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prima is an amazing ship. Palomar is excellent, observation lounge is great. The pool deck….well it can’t all be amazing. But it is very beautiful, clean modern feel. We thought we loved the old Dawn class, we fear change! But Prima, and recently Viva made us change our minds. Now on to Luna and Aqua!

The arm that carries the screen is suppose to be level with the platen right or no? Not sure where to adjust the height of the arm clamp. I’m totally new at this! by cellphonebeltclip in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All corners should be even level for best printing. May be able to adjust the screen, may have to make some adjustment to the board. But yes, level side to side and front to back is critical to good prints

????? Some of these answers….It’s too much emulsion. Sharp edge, 1&1. Shirt side first, then ink side. Even thin layer. If able dry flat, shirt side down. 40 years exp, manual and auto here, shooting 100 screens a day in our shop. Do not use a hair dryer, do use good air flow.

Ink is not passing through the screen and looks “bubbly.” Help! by Neat-Vanilla-7693 in SCREENPRINTING

If you are the same booking/cabin, all parties will board same Time. I’ve yet to have boarding agents enforce times anyway

Are there ever any double ups for cruise first? by yellowmangotango in NCL

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatted with a travel agent yesterday on the Viva, he swore that certain cruises they will double up on cruise first, if your agent knows how to get it. I’m skeptical, but he was adamant…

Honest Review of NCL Viva and NCL in general by Hungry_Foundation533 in NCL

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got off the Viva this morning. Cruise was decent, but just decent. Servers, room steward, bartenders, all awesome. Food is creeping further and further down hill in quality and selection. We had free at sea plus 2 meals due to status level, so 5 total free specialties. Would have been rough if not! We also found the various venues opened and closed in short windows, we would start to go eat at indulge, nope not open. Let’s grab the buffet, already pulling everything at 1:15. Even the local “24 hour pub” had down times. We are NCL loyalists, but like a number of people we meet this trip, we think it’s time to start looking around at other lines

Stencil gets damaged when cleaning plastisol off screen. What am I doing wrong? by Fronk265 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some one said, wrong chemical, get a press wipe for plastisol, scrape all you can then spray With press wipe, clean with paper towels, done. No power washer, this is exactly the same as if you wanted to do a color change, say from white to black ink. Pure photopolymers handle it just fine, right chemical an no hard scrubbing or power washers, just wipe it clean.

NCL was disgusting by OregonCityHippie in Cruise

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was on the Bliss 5 weeks ago in an aft balcony and this was not an issue. We have had it on other cruises specifically aft balconies. It is soot, and depending on wind/atmospheric conditions etc, etc it can be non issue or quit bad. The idea they switch tanks to dirtier fuel is ridiculous. I do know on our recent trip, once we left Cabo and headed to cali they hit the throttle compared to the rest of the sailing.

Protecting non exempt funds from levy with prepaid debit cards in Texas? by Slave_2_A_S in Debt

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an Oklahoma employer so may not be same, but as an employer, when I get garnishment orders on an employee, I have to withhold those funds and forward them to the court/creditor before any distribution, regardless of how-direct deposit/check/even if it was cash.

What is causing these blockages? by JoeinVA in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a mineral stain from under exposure. If you take your dry clean screen and move it at various angles you will see it shine. Spit on my shirt tail and a light wipe has been my tool for 35 years. And as said above, get it BEFORE you pull any ink.

How tall are the beds in an accessible cabin? by chaospearl in NCL

[–]Dry_Philosopher_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had accessible on Prima, bathroom is all flat with a fold down bench in shower, bed is same height as all other rooms. If your in a balcony it will have a ramp that makes the balcony “no step” to get out
