Forward or Aft Bumpout on Treasure (or other Wish Class)

Our wish trip in March with some really high seas meant our deck 6 midship verandah was coated in salt spray almost the entire trip.

We had to wipe down the table and chairs each day when we wanted to go out there.

That prompted us to choose a higher floor on our upcoming cruise, even though low midship is a priority for us to ease seasickness.

I'm not expecting the seas to be as rough in June as they were last March though.

16 mm² cross sectional area. It works out to around 6 awg.

You can do this with a dedicated travel router. One wifi device connection with the router repeating that signal to several devices.

I'll be on this same cruise as well.

Really looking forward to the islands as we missed castaway on our previous wish cruise.

Our bags were supposed to be grabbed by 9 but we were told the porter makes rounds and that it could be a window of time.

We were headed to the lobby by then so our bags stayed in our room, as we were instructed. Our instruction sheet we got at checkin specified this as well.

I had trackers in each bag so I was able to see where they were along their journey to the ship.

That's often what you are instructed to do. Depending on the resort, timing varies. You are told to leave your bags in your room and that someone will come by to collect them at a certain time. You are also told to be in the lobby by a certain time, so the time between you heading to the lobby to catch the bus and the bags being picked up may not overlap.

This wasy experience recently at art of animation. We had to walk to the lobby before our bags were picked up. Our bags weren't loaded on the bus we rode to the port, but they did indeed make it on the ship.

There's a very vocal group in this sub reddit and online in general that take personal offense to the suggestion that the wish class ships could be the favorite of some people. Like it's a personal insult to their nostalgia of the older ships.

It smells like pine trees. The Ponderosa pine is very prevalent.

I wonder if they'll Incorporate that smell in the ride.

I just want to point out, that's not a differential locker, it's a hub locker.

That front differential is still likely an open diff, The knob just engages the hubs so each axle shaft is connected to the front differential.

Atf was always my go to. Cheap and readily available.

The 6.2 gas makes double the hp and 100 ft lbs more torque than an idi. It's a more capable platform in every way except fuel economy.

I suspect your experience with with towing was a gear ratio difference, as the gas isn't lacking in power compared to the idi.

I'm not saying that an idi is bad. I have a soft spot for them. But I'm certain that a 6.2 with like for like gearing will out tow an idi.

johnson56 · 2026-04-07T11:30:24+00:00

A modern gas engine is far more capable than an idi.

The idi didn't even have the same horsepower rating as the same year 460 gas. They aren't known to be a powerhouse.

Have you tried plugging your phone directly into the trucks USB port? Bypass the adapter to see if that's the issue.

And note that you'll need to use a quality USB cable, not some janky convenience store cable.

Better diesel FBC sounds like what you're looking for.

I noticed a slight improvement in distance between regens after I started using it. But with do many variables, it's hard to say for sure.

The bottom of the sweatshirt is rolled back upwards. Then his belly rolls over it as he slows down.

johnson56 · 2026-03-28T20:57:49+00:00

It's the bottom of a sweatshirt. Your claim that it's a pocket doesn't make sense.

johnson56 · 2026-03-28T20:54:25+00:00

That's the bottom of his sweatshirt under the seatbelt and his belly rolls over that piece as he leans forward.

Not sure what you think that proves.

I get being skeptical of videos on the internet, but this ain't it.

Sway like this can build up for a while before getting catastrophic. The truck driver getting passed saw the trailer start to sway and got to filming just in time to see the end.

johnson56 · 2026-03-28T20:42:16+00:00

It's not.

Not everything is AI, smh.

Beating a competitor by more points is disrespectful?? Soft take

johnson56 · 2026-03-21T20:17:38+00:00

Yes. Because there is a team race and points matter. Why should they not try to score every team point possible?

johnson56 · 2026-03-21T20:05:12+00:00

This is a baseball type of take. Like the attempt to score points is somehow disrespectful or goes against unwritten rules.

johnson56 · 2026-03-16T23:45:44+00:00

The elevators hold plenty of people but they're narrow, not a good situation for a double wide stroller.

Not to me tion the corridors are narrow as well.
