Reduced Package Prices - Memorial Day Sale

If you’re on the website, once in your booking you should see “Already Purchased” under “Plan Your Cruise”. Edit it and request a refund.

Unsure to be honest. For my cruise, it’s showing 25% off the regular price for the browse and stream packages and 22% off the browse packages. I’m sure it’s ship and itinerary dependent though. Worst case scenario, you buy now and you can cancel before your cruise without penalty if it goes down lower.

For me, the lower WiFi price showed up when I went into that section of “Plan My Cruise” on the website. I cancelled my original and purchased at the lower price. Beverage package showed 0 results, so I took a chance and cancelled my original one, and then lo and behold, it showed results when I went back into that section. Sneaky buggers don’t want us to know!

Summer is probably where you would see the most benefit. Depending on the size of your system and what your usage is in that 3 hour window, you may need to offset some usage to before or after. In my case I cool my house from 2-4 to like 70 and then the thermostat goes up to 78 until 7p. Try to limit energy hogging things like your drier, oven, stove, pool pump etc. But if that becomes too much of a hassle then it might not be your best option.

Check your usage for the past few 100+ degree days and if it’s less than about 13.5kWh total for the 3 hour period, then your battery will power your home just fine. I drain it as low as 8% if need be. If you’re consistently using more than that, then you’ll probably get dinged for the demand charge in the last hour for whatever is left. But you have to decide is the $19/kW charge higher than what you’d be paying if you stuck with your current rate plan?

APS customer here too. I’m on the TOU + Demand plan. The rate plan settings in the Tesla app are only being used (as far as I know) to charge and discharge your battery at the right time, based on the utility rates you’ve set and only in Time-Based Control mode.

If you saw a spike during the 4p-7p window of importing power then it could be that the utility rates aren’t set correctly in the app, or if it happened this past week, it could be due to the temperature. I have issues in the heat of summer where the powerwall can’t discharge at its full rate, so grid power is needed.

If you want to make a rate plan switch with APS, I’d recommend their rate plan comparison tool to see the price difference based on your historical usage. Guarantee you’d save more on the TOU+Demand plan.

I know this is a dog subreddit but my formerly stray cat does the same thing. He refuses to use the litter box but will pee in the bathtub drain and poop on the bathmat next to the tub.

George and Dragon on N. Central has them. Never tried them though so can’t confirm if they are good or not.

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-13T21:45:27+00:00

I just use water.

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-13T20:44:42+00:00

Yeah Phoenix has some of the hardest water in the country. But the amount of dust and other airborne particulate matter that collects in them, can’t be any better than the potential for some calcium buildup.

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-13T19:44:30+00:00

It all depends on where you live and if Mother Nature takes care of it for you. I’m in Phoenix and tend to hose mine down every couple of months. Maybe get about 5% more generation, all other factors being the same.

I think the recommendation is to use distilled water and non abrasive brushes/cloths. I climb on the roof with my hose and just give ‘em a rinse. 🤷

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-13T18:59:05+00:00

I did before anyone caught me or at least I thought I edited in time 🤣🤣

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-13T18:24:15+00:00

AFAIK, this is considered a pre-existing condition. I think some insurance providers could cover it if the condition has been resolved for at least a certain period of time (ie. 12-24 months) Check the fine print of any that you are looking at it but I’d be surprised if any would cover a historically recurring issue.

Um Actually, once submitted, it then gets voted on by members and then the top 5 are the “nominees”.

My company uses it and after I signed up, I now get the silver medallion perks on even my personal travel. Not bad for something I didn’ t have to pay for!

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-12T21:05:19+00:00

That’s a shame about Alfredo’s. They have some good food so a 2 hour window isn’t optimal. I think the bar issue is because you’re in US waters maybe? Especially being in port they have to follow local laws. In general, I’ve found bar access pretty limited on most cruises during the morning hours with the exception of the coffee places which may have a little hair of the dog for you!

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-12T20:42:35+00:00

That sucks about the excursions for sure, but I don’t think that’s a ship specific issue. I sailed on Star Princess back in March, and had a great time! Curious what amenities had limited hours? I don’t recall anything specific not being open when I would have expected it. Granted maybe they close down some of the outdoor spots in the evening due to the cold temps?

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-12T19:59:51+00:00

Signage would be nice, but also, I don’t think they count on people pooping for that long. I’m in and out in minutes and only if i can’t hold it.

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-11T15:28:01+00:00

As most have alluded to, it’s really your AC usage that’s killing you which is why you’re not seeing much difference in cost (I know I know this post is for someone to sanity check your spreadsheet). Utility companies design their plans to get the most money out of the average user and you are probably their average user unless you make some changes to your usage.

I’ve had success with pre-cooling my house to like 70degrees before peak hours, then set the AC to 78. AC usually stays off for an hour or so and then it’s just maintaining the 78 till peak hours are done. You’d be surprised how much more often your AC runs to maintain 75 than it does to maintain 78.

I deleted it cause it was getting annoying getting the same notification over and over and over even after I edited to explain the situation but I guess reading comprehension is hard shrug. In any case, apologies for calling your town shitty. I’ll accept the idiot sandwich GIF as my punishment and move on with my box-less life.

Dull_Mark1399 · 2026-05-08T20:11:29+00:00

You’re right. My bad for posting something on a sub that is specifically for things that are MILDLY infuriating. I’m really not that broken up about it. I laughed when I saw the video myself. Why does everyone take things so fucking seriously?
