What they could consider is holding back a certain number of staterooms -- some from each type -- and shifting to a lottery system for first-timers to join....if demand continues to be high. If 70K shifts to an Oasis class ship in 2020, as has been heavily hinted at, then the problem would be resol...

Coworker was looking to trade a shift. Agreed to trade for my shift next Sunday, which I was trying to get out of so that I could go to the Allegaeon/Nekrogoblikon show. Said he'd put the exchange into our scheduling system. A week went by and it didn't show up, so I put the trade request in myself....

Ok, just out of curiousity. How many of you had a bad experoence with the ships crew this year? We has items stolen out of our room this year, and the crew did nothing to rectify the situation. What about you guys??? We have never had any problems with the staff. That being said, we also don't allo...

^^^^ Very nice!

The ER I work for treated a record number of patients in January, the highest ever per single month in the (100 year plus) history of our ER - 5,570 patients. This exceeded our previous record by at least 400 patients. Go home snowbirds, and take your flu home with you!

I assumed escape room meant one of those rooms you get locked inside with your friends and have to solve puzzles and find keys to get out of, which seem to be all the rage nowadays. It will be this.

You can ask if my pet snake (Atlas) is still dehydrated from uncommonly cold Florida winter.

Hey fellow Floridian! I approve of this post as one of my cats is also named Atlas

Hey y'all, I'm happy to get the stickers printed again (and I'll bring the pins too). Are we using the same design? Also if someone wants to make one that's a general "my name is" that'd be cool too, I had a lot of non forumites who wanted them as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone S...

Another trip to the States? Swing by Tampa on your way over this time!

Please do not allow any lighting effects except for strobe lighting, which must be nonstop and seizure-inducing.



I had to bail on an Ensiferum set because of that shit a few years ago and I'm still holding a grudge!

Give me $82.20 worth of onboard credit to reimburse me for foreign transaction fees Is that from paying your cruise fare with a credit card? If you pay all at once, you can use an international wire transfer. It cost $45 (at least for me), but UMC does allow you to deduct the cost from your total p...

I still deeply regret missing Blind Guardian's second set on the very first 70k. They opened with my absolutely favorite song, and I missed out on seeing a reportedly very inebriated Schaffer up there with them. I also regret missing the Finntroll set where the guitarist was playing a different song...

Whooooooo Allegaeon!! Thank you Andy!
