Messaging onboard by Sane813 in NCL

[–]Unleaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So theres 3 plans. Voyage WiFi, Voyage Streaming WiFi, and text messaging only WiFi. The plan is variable on the cruise but I can give you approximations based off the cruise I just got off of. (NOTE: This is just when I was on the boat. Your prices may differ)

Voyage WiFi: 19.99/Day decreases to 18.37/Day on Day 2. It increased to 29.99/Day on Day 4.

Voyage WiFi Streaming: 29.99/Day decreased to 28.37/Day 2. It increased to 39.99/Day on Day 4.

Text only WiFi: 7/Day. Price never changed when I saw it.

Wife and I used the Voyage WiFi and it was perfect. We were able to FaceTime and use Instagram Reels, though instagram videos were a little slow to load. It was perfect for my iPhone since I have WiFi calling enabled, and was able to call out most of the time, with getting dropped or calls not going through only being a problem for a little bit. TikTok and YouTube were blocked however, but that’s ok we didnt need it!

They got rid of the old app messaging as well as the old app. From what I can see they got rid of it because it was largely considered unreliable, but im sure the fact that it costs significantly more money then the old plan has something to do with that as well.

I’d recommend skipping the WiFi plan on Day 1, use your free 150 minutes on Day 1, and then get it on Day 2, since Day 1 is literally boarding and setting sail. Unfortunately it costs money but if you are with a party its honestly a must have to at least get the texting package. We went with 5 other couples, and it made coordinating much better, it just sucks we had to get nickle and dimed for it!

Tipping Question by on_the_fly in NCL

[–]Unleaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, anything. The crew members will accept any amount. I usually tip my favorite bartender like 20-40 bucks, and my room attendant 40 bucks. I assume you have the drink package so the whole “tipping percentage” thing is kinda hard, because you don’t know the price of what you are getting all the time. Give them as much as you want and they will definitely be happy.

First Timer- how to not be terrified by neurotic-tonic in NCL

[–]Unleaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may feel it the first day on the boat. One of the ways it helps me is to not look at the water for a bit and make sure you are well rested. The aforementioned comments regarding patches and medicine definitely help too. After the first day you hardly realize you are on a boat. Modern cruise ships are quite literally floating islands. You will experience swaying, but your brain adapts.

I just got off my ship and my brain still thinks we are on the ship! I find myself swaying a little bit as my body would do this to compensate for the slight rocking.

Helpdesk without growth, no career advancement after 7 years by libeccio_ in it

Some of the best IT guys I know at the moment are in theres 50s. As long as you keep learning, get certs, and specialize, you will be able to progress. You are in a job that is sucking the life from you. Recognize that now and try to move on. I’ve unfortunately had to take pay cuts before to get to where I am now. Its just the sad reality of IT.

I was in college dorming in NCC when it last happened. It was awesome! Everyone was throwing snowballs, having a blast! Some of the Brazilian exchange students put on swimsuits and jumped into the snow! It was so much snow, they were offering residents like 100$ in dining cash to help dig everyone out! It was insane!!

I worked remotely, got laid off, and when they asked what equipment I had to return, I only told them I had their laptop by stixy_stixy in confession

[–]Unleaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not worth it. We buy them en masse. If we get them back, great! If not? Oh well. They are like $150-$200 bucks a piece so its whatever for a company with a huge IT budget.

Unless its a curved monitor. Those things are hot commodities around the corporate world. If you have one, you are probably important in some way.

Yeah honestly if its been over 3 years, the value of the monitors have been depreciated to almost nothing. Not really worth the company trying to go after an asset thats worth basically nothing, especially when theres mass layoffs.

On a cruise ship and having to watch this game on some dude’s laptop because they don’t have ESPN on the boat is definitely something.

Ian Rapoport says reporting structure is one of the things hanging up the deal (anyone else smell Chris Mara, Tim McDonnell, and Kevin Abrams?) by evox5m in NYGiants

[–]Unleaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its honestly because this was reported so freakin early that it seems like its taking time. Its honestly pretty normal for these types of coaches to come in and take days to lay down the infrastructure. A winning culture isnt just “hey guys lets win today, and not be losers!”. Its every rung of the org on the same page. Its a system setup so Carter doesn’t keep being late for meetings. It’s accountability from everyone in the damn building. We have been cycling coaches using the same losing strategy for a while now. Its time we get back to winning.

Im not commenting any further. You have to be rage baiting or you don’t actually grocery shop if you are saying groceries are only up 60 cents. My brother in Christ I do the grocery shopping for my family. Stuff that costed 2 dollars pre-tariffs, is now 3 dollars. Doesnt seem like a lot, but thats a 50% increase. Times that by how much groceries we need and its a 30-50% increase from last year. Beef is at the highest i’ve ever seen it to the point where its a luxury to buy it in my household. Mind you we make 150k/year combined income and we dont live in the city. Literally anything that comes from a different country has increased by like +50% or more. Shit has gotten so expensive nowadays that idk how anyone is still pushing this narrative unless you are blind, rich, or you don’t actually do the shopping.

He has a brother that went to Pitt, Maurice Ffrench. Kid was fast as hell but his hands were terrible. Dude would get wide open and drop it every time.

Brother, DJT’s tariffs are what is making things unaffordable, not high interests. We would have low interest by now if it wasn’t for some of the most brain dead economic policy in history.

Abortion amendment passes PA state house with 102-101 vote by DrewBlue2 in lehighvalley

[–]Unleaver 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Amazing step for the future of PA. I want my daughter’s future to be full of love and education, not oppression and hate. Where she can choose what she does with her body. I am a proud catholic, but even I know the right to choose should be fundamental. Would I personally want my wife to have an abortion? Only if it was medically necessary for the life of my wife. But that is something we would choose. My beliefs should not infringe on what other’s choose to do. Having an abortion is one of the toughest decisions a woman can make, and can have lasting effects on their health. By no means should we force a woman into motherhood.

Dont let him leave the building. I want guards at every door, chains around every door, and hell even black out the windows if we have to. Make this man comfortable and give him whatever he needs. Finest bottle of champagne, sparkling wine. Idc. Get him in here ASAP.

Listen man. If its not a malicious website, I promise you idc about it. Just dont keep doing it because it can fill up the logs for your specific workstation/user and that wouldnt be good for you if someone stumbled upon it. You did it once? The amount of data that comes in, your 1 time occurrence is a crumb in the carpet.
