RCL Quantum of the Seas Intros Robot Bartender


The combo of mechanical arms are called N1-C and B1-O, sort of reminders of C-3PO and T2-D2 from Star Wars. And maybe an earlier movie robot, too.

They serve on the Royal Caribbean Line’s newest and most technically-advanced cruise ship in its aptly-named Bionic Bar. After you belly up, whether you order a Bloody Mary or Scotch on the rocks, a robot will have the drink in front of you in a quick minute or so.

It all sounds great to us, and if we’re lucky enough to sail on the new RCL ship, we just have one question: How much do you tip a robot bartender? Further, what do you use as a tip? Are three screws, two wing nuts and a bolt enough?

CNN Reports: AA Squeezing In On Cheap Seats PDF Print E-mail


As if it weren’t cramped enough already for creaky seniors flying economy. Get ready to squoosh! Seating spaces are reducing in American Airlines passenger compartments. The plan is to cut another two inches from each row.

Of course, in case you haven’t noticed, other airlines are also doing more squeezing for the same obvious reason. By sardining added bodies into the passenger areas, they’ll make more money. However, it could get worse on Delta and United, because it will give their goons less space for dragging passengers down the aisles and out the door.
