jaygee2729 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well, hopefully this system does not turn out to be Irritable Bull Sh*t texaskstar, PPPJJ-GCVAB and Kevin C 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottD Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 IBS should be the name of the current IT department. Lol... but this sounds like it might be integrated into the app since it mentions passenger requests and preferences throughout the cruise.

FionaMG Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Time will tell, I guess. The unfortunate choice of name reminds me of a couple of names I've come across here in Custard Tart Land because non-native speakers of English are determined to use English in their company names without asking for advice from a native speaker. A few years ago, back in the days of floppy disks (who else here remembers those? ), I had dealings with a technology outfit who thought they'd come up with a clever name: Mega Flop. And more recently, a company providing a space for kids' parties thought it would be a good idea to call their venue Funny Farm. teddy, WAAAYTOOO and MaryS 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ777 Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 IBS! That's funny! We use an internal system at work called IBS. Personally, I like the Irritable Bull Sh*t reference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin C Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 IBS. That's hilarious. They probably didn't have a clue when they came up with the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
