Aqua Real

[Maral Mende]

AgreedE-Class ships are now my favorite cruiseship and having been in three different IV cabins which I loved they ARE NOT Verandas by any stretch of the Imagination. It's a Oceanview with a Panoramic window that opens. On our Halloween Edge cruise we enjoyed having the window open several nights while we slept (We enjoy the room warmer than cooler) so that's certainly possible as long as you're aware it's not going to be cool.

Hi! As others have stated, no. AquaClass cabins are all Infinite Verandas...except for Aqua Sky Suites that are starting to make their debut. I have not been fond of the idea of the E-class ships, especially those infinite verandas. I almost convinced myself to try one when I decided I wanted to try the Beyond. I watched so many videos and looked at so many pictures. It just is not a balcony that I am used to on a ship. I love sitting out there, standing out there, walking from one balcony to the next (my family & friends balcony dividers, we get opened). There is so much debate. People love them. People hate them. People don't want to try to see.

They are appealing because not everyone really uses those traditional balconies except to get some fresh air. Are IV cabins revolutionary? Absolutely. I don't know any cruiseship that has window/oceanview cabins that open. Carnival's Spirit Class had something similar called Obstructed View French French Door Cabins. The rooms were on the Deck right where the lifeboats are. But instead of a regular oceanview window they install the same sliding doors as a balcony cabin and when you slide open the door there was a glass railing so you couldn't step out anywhere. I had one of those cabins on a TP to Hawaii and it was great to leave open the sliding door and get fresh air, the sound of the ocean, and a slight glimpse of the water in between the lifeboats. Sadly they have replaced the french doors with a solid non opening window, so although you have now have a panoramic floor to ceiling window they don't open for fresh air.

I think the IV cabin turned out not exactly as previewed because the mockups didn't account for all the structural nuances which made the mockups seem larger than the actual finished product. The mockups didn't account for the space needed for the blackout pleated shades nor for the folding doors. I think there also wasn't allowance made for the King size beds that are in IV rooms. If you take a careful and closeup views of the mechanics of all the components in the Veranda section of the IV room you'll see all these features that take up an inch here, couple of inches there and when you add it all up the actual useable space of the Veranda portion is negligible. You have to move the chairs to open and close the bifold doors and you have to move the chairs to close the shade too (I bet more than a few pleated shades have been ruined by having the furniture in the way when the shade came down).

We liked the extra room in the cabin. I'm not big on sitting on the balcony anyway, so I was fine with it--when I wanted the breeze, I opened the window for a bit. We'll still book balconies on other ships, but we'll also book IVs because we enjoyed Edge.

I was really hoping that Beyond would offer some traditional balconies in Concierge and Aqua Class along with Infinite Balconies for those who like the former layout. Looks like that wish will not be granted. My only hope now is that if Celebrity designs an entirely new class of ship, such a choice of traditional or Infinite will be available.

I think Celebrity's powers that be underestimated how much some passengers really enjoy their balconies. Two chairs in a crowded space is not my idea of a great balcony experience, but Sunset Verandas are so popular they are hard to get.We couldn't book one on Beyond for the cruise we chose.

Countless (!) threads and posts on this since even before EDGE was launched. You have the best answer- you need to just try an IV and judge for yourself. A lot of people will give you their opinions (hate to love) and many are from people that have never sailed E-class or have stayed in an IV.

We have sailed on Edge, in an Infinite Veranda. E-Class ships are a new experience, in every way. We enjoyed that experience. You will not enjoy an IV cabin because you have already convinced yourselves of that. So, book any other cabin category and you will automatically alleviate that concern. If you don't do Aqua, the four MDR's are very good.

When booking an 'E' Class ship, do so with an open mind about everything. The ships are modern, definitely different and thus open to close scrutiny, especially from seasoned X cruisers. We certainly like the "tried and true" 'M' and 'S' Class Celebrity ships. We appreciate and welcome innovation and the opportunity to occasionally go contemporary.

Just off the Ascent last week, the only reason I was on this ship as it was gifted sort of (Blue chip comp). My wife was excited to try something new, as we usually sail Aq on S class. Although the ship was beautiful, service was excellent, that room with the Infinite veranda was a huge disappointment Not just for the window(that's all it is), creaky sagging bathroom floor, loud banging in the ceiling, and even the veranda creaking in the night on calm seas. I definitely couldn't see myself on a TA on this class of ship.

I just wanted to thank you for these fabulous brushes and tutorials. I have bought other watercolour brush packs in the past, but none compare to yours for realism and detail. And your tutorials are *so* helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Hi Lisa, I have read this comment and I am not sure if I understood. Did you mean that with a transparent png you are able to make patterns in Illustrator without tracing and vectorizing it ? You just need to embed the raster images ?

I have watched other tutorial where you trace and vectorise your art individually in order to convert it in an ai file.

Thank you, your tutorials are brilliant.

Hi Isabel, I just popped you a quick email to get a bit more info regarding the issue you are experiencing at checkout so I can assist you further. You are also welcome to send me an email to [email protected]. Thank you.

A good art friend of mine recommended me to get these brushes and introduced me to Lisa and her work last week, and I must say, they are by far THE BEST watercolor brushes I have purchased! I own about 5 different sets too, and the ease of use and variability makes these so diverse in what you can do. Easy to use and the tutorial is very helpful to give you ideas on how you can achieve different looks for your work. Very happy, and thank you Lisa!

Got this with no doubt in the first hours after release, the brushes are amazing and feel so natural just as real watercolor. Thank you so much, Lisa, for one more incredible product, absolutely in love with it! ?

With Real-Time CSPM, teams have a complete view of cloud security risk and surface the most critical findings. This includes the ability to match correlated findings across multi-cloud environments, deduplicate findings and focus on identifying real cloud risks with smarter insights. Instead of wasting time on issues with low effective risk, customers can focus on what truly matters most and provide the context needed for resource owners to remediate quickly and secure their cloud applications.

Detailed context also allows teams to connect issues found in their cloud to their respective code repositories. With better prioritization and the ability to identify risk ownership, Real-Time CSPM then allows for rapid remediation of those most critical issues. Security professionals can focus their limited resources to manage, investigate and respond faster.

Aqua Real-Time CSPM eliminates that risk and delivers real-time visibility and risk prioritization in a single, unified platform for faster, more effective risk management. Unlike point-in-time scanning solutions, Aqua Real-Time CSPM provides a deeper layer of visibility for better context, leading to the ability to prioritize the most critical cloud security risks.

Real-Time CSPM is part of the Aqua Cloud Security Platform, a cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). The Aqua Platform is composed of a fully integrated set of security and compliance capabilities to discover, prioritize, and eliminate risk in minutes across the full software development life cycle. Aqua improves operational efficiency by connecting cloud to code and tracing runtime risks to the code and developer who can fix them. By connecting CSPM to runtime, it shields risks that cannot be immediately addressed with a code fix.

For simplicity, there's OFF, ECO, and COMFORT, and I know what they do. Without regard for propane use, it would be in COMFORT mode constantly. To save the most propane, it would be OFF constantly, and put up with cold showers. For sub-freezing weather, there's ECO.

If the temperature will be below freezing, we put it on Eco and leave it there until the temperature gets above about 36 degrees. Eco keeps the water temperature At 42 degrees or above. Even at 25 degrees overnight, it only comes on once or twice.

We leave it OFF most of the time while camping and only turn it on (COMFORT mode) a bit before we want to take our showers. Keeps the propane usage to a minimum. I also don't like leaving propane on if we are away from the camper for sightseeing/day trips, so when we leave the camper, the Truma is off and I close the propane tank valve. We typically camp at full hookup campgrounds so the fridge is running on AC. If you leave the Truma in COMFORT mode it uses more propane and it gets annoying at night hearing the Truma cycle on and off frequently to keep hot water at the ready. I should add that we rarely camp in cold weather. We are 3 season campers, spring, summer and fall.
