Hello fellow Cruise Techies!  Or are you? 

It’s been brought to my attention that some people object to the term “techie” in my company name, saying it can seem derogatory and unprofessional. Others have said they find it catchy and fun. I just chose the name for my company because I thought it ‘scanned’ well (to borrow a technique from our actor friends). 
​
I’m always open to other suggestions for a company name – one that portrays cruise ships AND tech theatre.  Please let me know your thoughts!
 
Please Like and Comment – I’d love to hear your ideas! Thanks!

Not at all a fan. Juvenile and semi-derogatory

I’ve known myself and colleagues as “techies” for as long as I’ve been doing this. I’ve always viewed it as light hearted and friendly, certainly doesn’t have any derogatory or negative connotation to us :/

It's derogatory and reductive. We do not use it at our university.
