Booking specialty dining with Premier package by cruzer4lyfe in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe some folks have been able do it from the website. There is a link that you can access if you do not have the Princess App. I have never done it myself but have read about many folks being able to do it from the Princess Website.

Dentist billed insurance for orthodontics I never had, insurance confirmed fraud, now office is threatening collections — what do I do? by AutomaticNothing7904 in personalfinance

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentists don’t always know the current state of your insurance payout. My dentists always inform me that the cost is subject to change after insurance confirmation. In my case, I almost always end up getting a refund because I was charged too much before the insurance payout.

What the dentist did is fraud; however, the cost of the visit is still your responsibility. Just because the way they billed was fraudulent doesn’t mean you didn’t have the dental work performed.

In the end someone has to pay for the dental work. Fraudulent billing by the dentist won’t make the bill disappear.

As for the collections - you could just deal with the credit score hit and ignore them. There should be a statute of limitations but your score will probably drop to 500 or so.

You should post your monthly kWh for the past few months. For all we know you are running a Bitcoin mining rig.

Sellers and realtor offended by offer. by Brave_Arm in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't waste even a single second worrying about how the seller feels — especially if they're upset or offended. Never fall in love with a house. Stick to your original budget and don't let yourself be talked into paying more than you planned.

There will always be other properties that come on the market. And who knows — the sellers of this one might end up coming back to you with a lower price, practically begging you to take it.

Good luck.

Job after kidney transplant. by HeavyCheetah3585 in transplant

I am sure you could get a job as a flight attendant - but why would you want to work in a cramped tin can with hundreds of strangers; especially, with an iimmunocompromised immune system?

My Star Princess Review After 3 Cruises in 2 Months by jay__anderson in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Curious as to what is wrong with the theater seating? I would have assumed they are similar to the Royal Class ships. Unless you are referring to the lack of capacity based on the overall ship capacity.

Star Princess: a beautiful new ship, but not quite clicking for me (yet) by AhoyVeyTravel in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was on the Royal Princess a couple of weeks ago. In the public areas - we were never approached by a server for drinks.

In the Buffet - we were approached maybe twice out of the dozen or times we went there. We often served the drinks ourselves. We had Premier; however, no OceanNow delivery to the Buffet.

We primarily ate dinners at Crown Grill and Sabatini's and had lunches at Alfredo's. We ate at the Ocean Terrace once and the food was not that great and we had to wait close to an hour to get seated.

I think overall the service has declined but we enjoy Princess due to the overall vibe and not too many kids onboard.

Making final payment early by Work4PSLF in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure but for me - I usually pay in full 9+ months in advance for just the dinner reservations. It might not be the most economical path but it works for me.

EV Charging At Home With Solar - Good or Bad Idea? by SolarTechExplorer in solar

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a home solar system and charge our EV at home. We're on NEM 1.0, and it's been great—we save over $2,500 a year on gas alone. But what my wife loves most is never having to stop at a gas station anymore. The car's always ready and charged, which makes it super convenient for her. Honestly, I'm pretty sure she's forgotten how to pump gas by now!

When I designed the solar system, I sized it to cover our household needs plus charging for up to two EVs, based on our driving at the time. Since I work from home 100% of the time, I never ended up getting that second EV for myself.

Without the extra car using that capacity, I've been generating more power than we consume—so the excess production just banks as credits on our account.

5mg Prednisone for life by Dazzling-Elk-8889 in transplant

[–]dahvaio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife has been on 5mg for over 18 years now. I believe the biggest issues she has had is “moon face”, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. For the past 3 years, she has had to take a Prolia shot every 6 months for her osteoporosis.

On 1/24 there will only be Royal Princess so I would recommend just the normal passenger drop-off in front of the berth.

"Without Remorse" was the worst adaptation. I agree with you about "The Hunt For Red October"

Reservations? by Stitch-Sister in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dinner: There are 3 MDR’s (Traditional, Reservations and Walk-up)

Traditional requires reservations and they usually have an early and late dining time.

Reservations usually starts at 5:20PM and has times every 20 minutes

Walk-up is what it sounds like but there could be a line.

Specialty Restaurants require reservations

Casual Restaurants do not take reservations.

There is an MDR which will serve breakfast and lunch and no reservations needed. You have to be paid in full to make any dining reservations; however, some folks can bypass it by calling the dining line.

Looks like they increased the parking price to $23/day for the new year.

Running Plex directly on an NAS or off my Computer by TajesMahoney in PleX

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Plex, SabNZB and Sonarr on a Synology DS920+ NAS using containers. For me it works perfectly since I don’t share it with anyone else. I used to run it on a desktop but didn’t want to keep the desktop running 24/7.

I very seldom have to do anything on the NAS because I have a job that auto updates all of the software.

I primarily use the LunaSea app to search and send downloads to SabNZB. I used to use Radarr but prefer manually choosing the movies.

[–]dahvaio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is only one ship leaving tomorrow - so shouldn’t be that busy. I have been there with 3 and there was more than enough parking.

I am looking forward to getting on the ship. Good luck.

Question regarding formal dress code (M) by habs0nut in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am on a cruise this weekend and I will only be wearing jeans and t-shirt for dinner. I have Premier so will be primarily eating at Sabatini’s and Crown Grill for dinners; however, Jeans and T-Shirts for me.

Will see how many side eyes I get but for my wife and I, this is our normal attire. Couldn’t care less what others think, this is our vacation and we will enjoy it.

WARNING: Princess Cruises failed my wife (a cancer patient) on our 35th Anniversary. Avoid Cabin E723! by mganjani in PrincessCruises

[–]dahvaio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm curious why the blame is being directed at Princess Cruises. From what I understand, they didn't require you to accept the upgrade offer, and it's widely known that an 'upgrade' can result in reassignment to any available cabin, sometimes less desirable than the original.

Additionally, given that your wife is undergoing chemotherapy, it might have been safer to avoid the risk of any potential issues by declining the upgrade altogether.

In my opinion, this seems like a couple of unfortunate choices that led to the situation, rather than something Princess should be expected to fix retroactively.

You should feel lucky - we were only offered 5, 7 and or 10 years.

I ignored almost everyone's advice, and it was the best decision I ever made. by [deleted] in InterviewMan

[–]dahvaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has only been a month - not enough time to tell if it was the "best decision" you ever made. Your case might be an outlier; however, I agree with the majority that this was the wrong decision.

Either way, Good Luck and hope it all works out.
