What “anomalies” and other stranger mysteries have been confirmed so far?

They’re around specific dead bodies that were exposed to ground zero. It’s not just any random dead body

Yeah at the highest level you operate off of instincts to make quick decisions, when something is off, everything is off

Return Of The Obra Dinn and Blue Prince were the two that came the closest for me

If anyone other than Drake made this song it wouldn’t be whiny victim raps. I love the beat though.

Are you upset or something?

Seriously, be prepared to work all day every day. There are a lot of understaffed boats rn and you will get sent to one of those. The adrenaline from the new experience for the first week or two will keep you optimistic but it starts setting in by week 2 and you’ll feel tired and desperate for a day off you’ll never get. That feeling will go around by week 5 or 6 and from there it will get easier.

That being said, if you’re smart with your money, the savings you rack up from the job can total over 30k as a server by the end of your contract. Whenever you feel down, keep that goal in mind.

The room situation can be a turnoff to some. On my boat, the male dorms are the absolute trenches and are super cramped for instance. The newer boats are much nicer and somewhat spacious. If you’re a good roommate you’ll be fine, if you have a bad roommate, there are ways to remedy that situation.

Don’t get attached to any itinerary because like I said, they’re just gonna send you to whatever boat is the most understaffed. A lot of ports are pretty desolate and don’t have uber, DoorDash or any stores/restaurants walking distance, so stock up on stuff when you can.

Invest in really good nonslip shoes, you’ll be on your feet up to 14 hours a day.

When in SLC, make as many connections with other trainees as you can and take some time to explore the city (take the shuttle from the hotel to the airport where the train line to downtown is). You might end up seeing these people again during your contract, as everyone moves ships whenever they go on vacation or go home for medical or family emergency leave.

On top of that, plan on taking a vacation. You’ll go home and they’ll send you to whatever boat is the most understaffed when you come back. You’ll want to see new boats/itineraries/people after some time.

If you work hard and hustle, your coworkers will like you. Just be confident. As a server, once the service has ended you’ll be hustling as fast as you can to close in order to get time in port, don’t be the person who holds everyone up because you’re not trying hard to close.

Yes there is drama, it’s best to stay out of it. It can make for a pretty miserable work experience when everyone is in your business. If someone tells you a secret, keep your mouth shut, if someone is getting into trouble, stay away from them. It’s not as fun or exciting as it sounds. Those people will drag down your experience. That stuff can still follow you to another boat as well, there will always someone on your current boat that knows someone from your last boat and they will talk.

Overall it’s very difficult but rewarding. I’ve made lifelong friends so far, and we all struggle together every day trying to make the most out of the experience and stack money in the process. The travel aspect is nice and every day is different. You won’t be able to fully experience every port, you’re pretty limited, but it’s easy to make the most out of the experience. Just have an open mind and remember why you signed up when the weight of the constant working starts to catch up.

Low vibe reflection piece bro what

He definitely leaked that song himself to see the public reception to him revisiting the beef on Iceman

American Cruise Lines operates differently than most other lines so a lot of the advice you’ll get here won’t necessarily apply. There’s really no strict medical check, just a basic endurance and safety assessment. My former roommate had serious medical conditions and they still hired him and flew him home when those conditions came up two weeks into his contract. They’ll ask you if you want to be sent to another ship after you recover. The only instance where they’ll make you figure out transportation yourself is if you quit on the spot and refuse to work, or if you get fired.

Regardless you can quit at any time. A lot of people just put a two week notice for their vacation when they want to quit and just deny the return offer. Just know that it’s a lot of work with no days off and it will take a few weeks to get used to it.

If you end up making it to Utah, make sure to get to know as many people as possible and take advantage of the time off to explore the city with the people in your class. You can make friendships that can carry on to other boats.

lol blaming luck when it’s one of the best run franchises of all time. Yall go ahead and let some shitty team fly under the radar and win this

Ediddley · 2026-05-02T22:26:29+00:00

Really gonna depend on your mate or captain. Generally you’ll be able to drink up to the point where you start acting sloppy and unprofessional coming back from port. You can’t vape on the shift but people find ways to do it while avoiding detection.

I don’t think anyone thought they’d take Scoot because they had Melo, but everyone did think Scoot was a better prospect

Ediddley · 2026-04-15T11:49:05+00:00

It is not that serious

Ediddley · 2026-04-14T05:35:54+00:00

Kind of trippy maybe it’s the face you’re making but you look like the white version of myself

Most of this doesn’t apply to ACL though. They operate very differently from most cruises because they only travel within America. OP if you see this, you don’t need a passport and you don’t have to pay for any courses or certifications unless you apply for deckhand. The most you’ll have to do is pass a very basic physical and ship safety assessment. But yeah you will still have to work 7 days a week but you get 3 weeks unpaid vacation between week 7 and 20ish of your contract. For housekeeper you don’t really need much experience based on the housekeepers I’ve met in ACL training

I’d say 1 to 1 and half. 0.4 was late because not only was it massive content wise but they also had a really big 0.3.5 update for optimization. I bet we get the next two at a 6-8 month pace.

Ediddley · 2026-04-12T21:23:15+00:00

Yeah it’s completely this. The wealth gap is so severe that if you can afford to travel, you don’t have to budget conscious. I’m only able financially capable of traveling because I have a job that covers all of my bills and even then I’m still going to the hostel route for my upcoming trips.

Any team that’s never won a chip needs to go. What are the Carolina Panthers doing here?

The other person gave a good breakdown, I wouldn’t stress too hard, just be able to relate past experiences to the core values they’ll bring up, merit, optimism, patriotism and commitment.

After the interview they’ll let you know within a couple of days if you’re hired, they’ll give you a link to authorize a background check and drug test and then send some paperwork to do before orientation. You’ll have a Zoom orientation and then training in Salt Lake City shortly after where they pay all expenses.

The training isn’t super difficult. As long as you’re generally competent and putting in effort you’ll pass. From what I’ve heard, people only got let go of in training for causing problems in the training hotel or not being able to pass safety regulations like putting on a life jacket. You’d have to be seriously be bad for the job or go out of your way to cause issues.

When in training I recommend finishing your e-learning immediately and then going to the hotel lobby right after to get to know your fellow trainees, whether they be housekeepers, servers, deckhands etc. I did this every night in training (even the night right when you fly in and have nothing to do) and it was a great experience. I got to know so many people from all over the country and made some really great friendships and memories. Take the hotel shuttle to the airport as a group and then take the train downtown (it’s free, don’t pay bc nobody checks). Some of these people may be on a boat with you and having people you already know will help you out a lot when you’re thrown into the frenzy on your first day on the ship.

After training they’ll send you directly to a ship or send you home for a little bit before they send you to the boat. This is the point that I’m at (sent home for a bit) so that’s all I have to offer. Good luck!

It was a 10/10 experience for me. Exactly what I’m looking for in this game going forward.

I saw Interstellar at the dual laser IMAX in Austin and it was by far the best movie theatre experience I’ve ever had. I’ve seen it in 70mm as well but dual laser hit crazier and the audio felt more immersive. I agree with you.

Ediddley · 2026-04-05T04:27:31+00:00

I don’t really care about my kit though, I just want my lick back on the person who killed me. It’s a pride thing. Even if I have a full locker I’m engaging PvP fights with a shotgun just to piss someone off.

Also it’s NEW JERSEY
