I also know of at least one software development company that doesn't use source control...
-
That assumes that a backup exists. Not everyone follows this most basic principle.

You can only get the drinks they list specifically for HH, which are the cheapest grade of alcohol. None of them will be over $10 drinks. In other words, this perk is useless if you have a drink package.

Can I Use A VPN on Starlink With Premium WIFI?
mahasamatman replied to Luvcrusn's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I use TunnelBear. It works with all levels of Internet, regardless of whether it's the old system or Starlink. -
The answer to that is "never". A more appropriate question would have been "Why are you not adding another level...?"

Never use a third-party commercial website for visas. Always go directly through the appropriate government website.

Tipping onboard when cruising in Europe
mahasamatman replied to scouseronline's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We've also been known to tip in CAD when we didn't have USD available. -
With the possible exception of Eden, I view Celebrity's specialty restaurants as a step down from the MDR. In general, they would have to pay me to eat in one.
-
Even though they restrict certain things like shorts and tank tops, I've seen people wearing pretty much anything. Celebrity does not enforce any dress standards.

What custom dishes have you ordered in Luminae?
mahasamatman replied to towel-animal's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I prefer raw, but that's not a complimentary option (and the sushi quality on Celebrity is not really up there). My best breakfasts ever have been at Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. -
We've never sailed on a ship with a Retreat Deck, and don't use Michael's Lounge because it's just a crowded, dark, dingy room. For us, it's Luminae and space.
-
There was definitely a table for six the last time we did it (on Apex), but it may have just been one.
-
There's a whole thread about it.

What custom dishes have you ordered in Luminae?
mahasamatman replied to towel-animal's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I do steak and eggs for breakfast. -
They have had nothing but port for a couple of years now. The sommeliers are universally embarrassed about the lack of true dessert wines.
-
Since we've been booking suites lately, the only real Zenith perk that matters (to us) is the free laundry (not interested in either Bermuda or Caribbean cruises), and we can usually get by pretty well with the four bags at Elite Plus. So very little reason to strive for Zenith anyway.
-
And my experience is that the app will not be accurate ever. We've been on cruises where the app showed no entertainment, or showed activities going on that never happened, or showed imaginary menus. If you trust the app for anything, you are being foolish.
-
Repeat after me. The app is not to be trusted. The app is not to be trusted. The app is not to be trusted.
-
Luminae is open for lunch, as is one MDR if you've booked a Concierge cabin or are Zenith.
-
This kind of webinar is useless PR because they're going to cherry-pick the questions to avoid the real issues.

I thought we might eventually make Zenith, but with Celebrity's rapidly declining value proposition, I expect to be booking other lines even more and will probably just languish at Elite Plus.

Mardi Gras cruise significant changes
mahasamatman replied to Tee & Chilli's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It has never been a premium cruise line. It has always been solidly mid-tier. -
Also Infinity and Eclipse.

Which night is Formal/Evening Chic for 6 nt Equinox?
mahasamatman replied to whataboutport's topic in Celebrity Cruises
There are no formal nights on Celebrity. -
Keep doing that at work and it might come sooner than you expect.
