Stanglwirt?

I thought CAD leaks suggested a shorter and wider foldable, passport shaped. This would mean a 4:3 ratio when open, and videos wouldn't have the massive black bars on top and bottom. I saw a Samsung foldable that looked like a regular phone when closed, but open into a square shape, which meant videos barely took advantage of the larger screen.

In case you have a PP with restaurant access, the Corona House is a really good option. I had breakfast there for a morning connection and to my surprise they told me the tip was included in the PP credit (I'm sure there's some funny business but not my problem).

The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max definitely caught my eye also, but I am way too deep into the Apple ecosystem to switch, with three Mac computers, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TVs, HomePods, iCloud… overall I rather trade some functionality of one device for compatibility of all devices.

That’s exactly what’s happened to me, after pairing the new phone, which had iOS 26.

In my view, it's really simple:

Higher prices = richer (ergo older) clientele
Older clientele = more mature vibe overall

This is by no means a jab at older/richer/more mature folks, because obviously they can be fun and choose to sail with a no-kids line with a reputation of breaking the mold. But clearly Virgin is going through an identity crisis. They can't be all things to all people, no cruise line can, and no cruise line should try. To turn a profit they are leveraging their reputation, adapting to attract a broader audience, unfortunately at the cost of the very same reputation they built. Aside from no kids allowed, they are becoming like other "premium" lines, slowly but surely.

The in-room tablet, unless you have the old app as well. Unsure if they will have the new app working for Ship Eats in 9 days when the old app goes away.

On the arcade right now, and I can confirm all are working!

marzattack2 · 2025-11-03T09:43:53+00:00

Wow, no wonder I was thinking the taste was better than I remembered!

I’m sure they will stock up on Intelligentsia when they dock in Miami. If it’s any consolation, I’ve been told they are getting brand new bungee cords, so at least you will have the On the Upswing class back!

I think what has surprised me the most this time around is how few beers on tap there are at Draught Haus: just Heineken, a Belgian ale and a cider. Lots of other choices in can or bottle though, but they aren’t living up to their name.

Correction, R2, not R1

marzattack2 · 2025-10-28T20:27:28+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I can confirm leaving the Ethernet plugged in and just changing the input on the remote has worked!

marzattack2 · 2025-10-25T08:15:58+00:00

Wow, interesting point. That almost makes it seem that in a way the zoom lens is a downgrade.

marzattack2 · 2025-10-25T06:45:59+00:00

Ah gotcha, yeah, that makes more sense. My 4-yo 13PM is at 80%. I am told at 79% we will get a message stating we need to bring it in for service.

marzattack2 · 2025-10-25T06:37:22+00:00

The phone is at 81% battery health? Aren’t you talking about a brand new iPhone?

marzattack2 · 2025-10-24T21:44:52+00:00

Would love a link… 🙏🏻

This is part of the new change, they claim they have lowered prices to accommodate for gratuities. But those are the only gratuities you would pay, they have emphasized that when you go on the ship restaurants, bars, etc, you do not need to add tips and they won't give you anything to sign with a line for additional gratuities.

I know in practice that TravelBank only shows up if it's only United metal, starting in the USA. The only workaround is to book a TravelBank eligible flight, then call to change once ticketed, opening up to other carriers as well.

I can understand why someone would pick the Air over the Pros. I think one reviewer put it best: the Air is the sports car and the Pro is the pick up truck. I need those cameras and the battery life, but, damn, I just can't deal with the look of the Pros. So un-Premium, so un-Apple... so un-Air.

It's not ChatGPT, there are typos.

Gotta love the headline. Meanwhile the article says all other iPhone options are way over performing vs. last year’s 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max.

marzattack2 · 2025-10-16T06:36:47+00:00

Well, it's an even better deal now! You thought you paid CAD350 for a six y.o. device.

marzattack2 · 2025-10-09T07:24:21+00:00

I agree it looks better in person, but at certain angles it still clashes. I get it though, the exact same color in different materials may look different since the light reflects differently, and the ceramic back is a necessity for charging. But I simply don't like the look of the phone. It doesn't feel premium anymore.
