How Cruise Lines Are Handling the Return of Passengers

TravelCityNewsAndTalk, CruiseLines

CLAUDETTE COVEY | TravelPulse.Com Troy Warren for CNT The general consensus among travel advisors who’ve sailed in recent weeks is that cruise lines are meeting – and in some cases exceeding – passenger expectations. “Everyone I spoke with was just excited to be back on a cruise again. ‘I missed this’ was the common response,” said Chris Caulfield, a CruiseOne franchise owner based in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., who sailed on Royal Caribbean’sFreedom of the Seas from Miami. “Royal Caribbean was clear about guidelines, so passengers knew before boarding what was expected.” He noted other than adhering to a handful of…

The Iconic Campbell’s Soup Can Is Getting a Redesign for the First Time in 50 Years

FoodieCampbellsSoup, CityNewsAndTalk, Foodie

By Sarra Sedghi | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT New look, same soup. Product design is engineered to be memorable. If people can't pick out a certain brand at a supermarket, there's not much hope they'll buy it.

It's familiar and reliable and has stood the test of time, instead of fading to the clearance rack. It goes without saying Campbell's soup is one such iconic design. Andy Warhol's rendition immortalized the humble label. Holiday commercials with a smiling, melting snowman generate warm memories, too. So it's…

Anycubic’s new Vyper delivers painless 3D printing

Technology3DPrinting, CityNewsAndTalk, Vyper

Dan Ackerman | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT Of all the 3D printers I've tested, this new FDM model from Anycubic was the easiest to get set up and running right out of the box. When it comes to 3D printers, I value ease of use, simple setup and reliability above fancy features and even print quality. After all, if a 3D printer is hard to set up, hard to calibrate or requires constant tweaking and correcting, you're much less likely to use it, especially if you're just starting out. The new Anycubic Vyper attempts to be both inexpensive and easy to use/set…

Troy Warren for CNT NATIONAL LASAGNA DAY The best way to join in National Lasagna Day on July 29th is to bake up a pan of the Italian pasta dish.
