Apparently one of the transformers failed, forcing them to go to a single engine. They have cancelled the remainder of the current cruise along with the next one. Current plans call for the ship to go straight to Montreal with crew but without passengers, after they have completed repairs.

There's almost no public info about this AFAICT, I found out via trip updates on the cruise critic boards.

Will be interested if there's ever an in depth explainer of the issue they encountered, as I'm curious the triggering event and extent of the damage.

Seems like offers to current passengers were reasonably generous, but those who had planned to join the ship in NYC for the next segment sound a bit more irritated.

Also an issue that Crystal only has 2 ships, so this knocks out half their capacity.

Text my wife sent my son and me today...

We moved downtown a month ago and in doing so had to switch from Google Fiber to Webpass. It has not been a smooth transition as I work from home and the frequency of 1-5 minute long outages is unacceptable. Unsure if this is my building or a Webpass issue. Does anyone else have the same experience?

Ordered the W1 w/ desk over a month ago and it still hasn't shipped. Was getting very quick responses via email that indicated shipping early/mid-July...have reached out 3x in last week and ZERO response...

We just moved into a downtown condo and I want to start taking my camera with me every time I walk the dog. Rather than just taking general photos, though, I'd like to figure out a system to focus on improving certain types of shots. Maybe rotating weekly or even daily. I also will have at least two longer walks per day, morning and evening, so will have different light to work with on different walks. Finally, I also have different zoom lens (15-35, 24-70, 70-200) to practice with.

Any recommendations for how to approach this? Obv I could use AI but would prefer something human generated if possible.

GFiber processed an account transfer early despite me providing a future date. I've spent 5 hours on the phone and on chat over the last 24+ hours trying to get updates on how to cancel the account transfer. I kept being told that it would take 3 hours, or 6 hours, or 12 hours, or wait just another couple of hours. Finally tonight I find out the issue is that my account is stuck in the migration queue for their new billing system and supposedly won't be migrated until this Friday.

I can't stand the constantly gaslighting and fake updates just to get me off the phone.

EDIT: We're back up and running after being down a bit over 36 hours. Kudos to u/gfiberofficial for the support.
