You got me curious so I checked my phone specs. Wifi 6 came out in 2019. I bought my moto Android 12 phone in dec 2022 but still only has wifi 5 (ac). But it only costs me $40 on sale. I guess only higher end phones come with wifi6?

I was going to take my free Ambassador 7day balcony cruise on Poa next April, mainly because I can't get that free from CAS because no casino. Now, I'm not so sure I want to do that. This year I've been to Hilo, kona , and Honolulu on Celebrity. Maui was cancelled because fires. Is just Maui worth it to use my 7day cruise benefit on an iffy ship?

Btf also performs in the mdr @ 6pm twice a cruise. It's a different mini-show each time. Ask the theater mgr during the behind the scenes tour for what days

It is now Mon 3am and I thought I was activating at the beginning of Day 4. But apparently I could have activated 15hrs sooner (7days 23hrs left) for the same $110. Ship embarked Thurs so it looks like the new internet period starts at 11am. So yesterday (Sun, day3) at 11:01am would be 7days 23hrs59min left if you want to maximize

7days left and unlimited upgrade for $110 just like the internet person said. Note: On other ships you get the upsell when you activate your promo minutes. I tried that but didn't get the popup. When I logged off I got the upgrade pop-up. That pop-up didn't appear the other times I logged off. (I was using my free casino 400min.) It was only after I activated my promo 150 min that the upsell appeared.

Who pays for the training and credentialing? and why sit around since POA seems short staffed? POA cruises are almost always 7 days. so 6day wait at most? edit: hm.. i guess they arent being paid while their creds are being processed? how long does it take to get credentialed after taking the training?

They didn't do this on the Prima but i dont remember if it had the Dancing Queen or the other coin pusher

dont mock. how would you feel if something you enjoy went up by 50%?

Ncl also had problems recently of keeping the ship fully staffed. On a few cruises, I read they randomly cancelled reservations because of staff shortages. Even with full refund and fcc, most of those pax were rightfully unhappy

Dawn/Star 12+ day cruises can get down to $10/day with 10days left on the cruise with $200 trade in of the promo 300min. Anyone know if Jewel (Gem, Jade, Pearl) class or Sun/sky ships also has this special for 12+ day cruises?

I'm currently on the Viva (11day). It has Starlink, just like Breakaway/Getaway. I just spoke to the internet mgr. Cheapest the unlimited upgrade gets is day 4 with 7 days left. 7 x $30 is $210 - $100 for the promo 150min, So $110 or $15.71/day at that point.

On Breakaway/Getaway, it takes 4 coins to get another green light on the Bonus bar (top of pic). I'm on the Viva and it takes 6 coins for the next light. so 50% more expensive to get the bonus.

2yrs ago i debarked at Reykjavik while the volcano was spewing lava. I was staying for a few days and planned to do a volcano tour to watch the lava live. (Will be like 800' away according to the ad.) I tried to book the tour 2 days after I debarked but was told it stopped spewing lava the day before. :( I could still do it if I wanted but I declined

i tried to add Princess offer but got this: Sorry about that! It doesn't happen often, but offers are currently unavailable. Please try again later. Looks like max # of has been given away?

Nice pic. Panoramic stitch? Or your dlsr does super wide-angle?

This chain has cheaper beer than 7-11. 7-11 had 6 pack of Tiger on special for $20. ($3.33/each) Everyday mart has it for $3 each regular price and a special this month of 3 for $8.50

Yup it was awesome! T2 departure terminal at airport

View from the sky lounge on top of the hotel. That's the 15min harbor light show at 8&9pm everyday. The colors of the buildings behind the light show are sychonized with the show. :o The funny shaped building on the lower left is the ArtScience museum. Note: You must have a club room or suite to access the sky lounge (22nd floor). Your room key allows you to press the 22 button in the elevator. For me, I got the cheapest room and got a free upgrade to club room because of my tier level at Wyndham. Note 2: You don't get the free food/drinks benefit at the sky lounge if you got it via an upgrade. :(

yes, had to fill it out but only 4 days or less before arrival. then at customs at pier, show them the barcode. they scan it. i filled it out on my laptop and took a screenshot with phone but couldnt find the pic because i've taken so many pics in those 4 days. after 5min of holding up the line, the customs person at pier just waived me through. 😮 bali immigration came on board at Tahiti and checked passports/bali visa already. so apparently the customs declarations form isnt that big of a deal if you're already been cleared by immigration.

if he's been with ur, he can't switch to ken for a year

How come this thread no longer shows up in my list of active threads? Last reply was yersterday. Had to look into my browser's history to pull it up. edit: now that i've replied, it back on my list again

good for you

yesterday added ncl but didnt see oceanea. today,i saw it: Get 5 additional Membership Rewards® pts for each dollar spent, up to 50k pts. so basically 5% back, assuming you know how to maximize the benefit of amex pts, which i dont. 😞 also, not as good at ncl's 20% back

hm.. i played around with using my phone as a internet hotspot but when i turn on hotspot, wifi turns off. Google says that's because hotspot and wifi uses the same antennae. you can only use one at a time. but some expensive phones (ie: samsung, pixel) can hotspot while on wifi. Looking around other settings on my phone, i can share internet via bluetooth while on wifi! Got it to work with my laptop. it wasn't easy or intuitive. It's easier to connect your laptop to wifi then hotspot your laptop. my laptop has a hotspot button and i can hotspot while on wifi. but carrying your laptop around just as a hotspot is cumbersome. so now to find another phone to test bluetooth hotspot from my main phone

Hide? It's not like alcohol... lol. pocket size for ease to carry. i guess i'll resort to buying the OPs travel router and carrying a small battery back as well and hold them together with a rubber band
